Adidas Basketball is reintroducing the iconic Crazy 98 in a fresh “Aurora Ink” colorway. This release celebrates both its rich legacy and forward-thinking design. The Crazy 98, originally Kobe Bryant’s second signature shoe, was once known as the KB8 II, later renamed Crazy 2. It made a major impact on both basketball and sneaker culture in the late ’90s. Its bold design and innovative features helped solidify Bryant as a sneaker legend.

The upcoming “Aurora Ink” edition blends retro style with modern updates. It pays homage to the ’90s while incorporating new elements for today’s sneaker lovers. The sneaker features a dark “Aurora Ink” upper with vibrant color accents. This creates a stylish yet performance-driven look. Reflective materials add a modern twist, ensuring it stands out both on and off the court.

Scheduled for release on October 1, 2024, the adidas Crazy 98 “Aurora Ink” will be available at select adidas Basketball retailers. Shoppers can also find them online and on adidas.com. Priced at $150 USD, this release will attract longtime fans of the KB8 II and new sneaker enthusiasts alike.
