The shoe also has purple accents on the adidas tongue tag, the Three Stripes logo, the lateral midfoot, and the durable rubber outsole. The sneaker is supported by an injected EVA midsole and Adiprene cushioning. This combination ensures both style and comfort.

The adidas Crazy 98 “Lakers Home” will be available on June 1, 2024. You can find it at select adidas Basketball retailers in-store, online, and on adidas.com. The shoe will be available in men’s sizing. The retail price is set at $150 USD.
