Kobe Bryant made history during the 1997 Slam Dunk Contest, becoming the competition’s youngest winner. To celebrate its 25th Anniversary, adidas will re-release the Crazy 97 EQT Elevation “Dunk Contest” once again for the occasion.

Before signing with Nike in 2003, Kobe signed with adidas back in 1996. One of the first models he wore during his NBA rookie season was the EQT Elevation, now called the Crazy 97 EQT.

This adidas Crazy 97 EQT will look identical to the pair Kobe wore during the 1997 Dunk Contest featuring an all-Purple makeup on its soft leather upper. Additional details includes Black mesh panels, White Three Stripes on the lateral completed with Gold branding.

adidas Crazy 97 EQT Dunk Contest Release Date

Look for the adidas Crazy 97 EQT “Dunk Contest” to release sometime in February during NBA All-Star Weekend in Cleveland at select retailers and adidas.com.
