Back in 1997-1998, this Adidas Model used to be a signature shoe for a world known athlete, Kobe Bryant. Formerly known as the “KB8″, now known as the “Crazy 8″, because Kobe Bryant is no longer under contract with Adidas. “The Adidas Crazy 8 basketball shoe is the perfect mix of on-court performance and on-court style. Bootie construction helps minimize friction for hardwood comfort. An airmesh lining keeps you cool possession after possession. Leather and synthetic upper. EVA midsole. Torsion System plate. Non-marking rubber outsole. Weighing at only 16.6 oz.”
Today we showcase you a hot new colorway which is set to release this year, featuring a mix of Grey-Black and Neon-Army Camo.

2005 marked the release of the Pigeon Dunks, designed by Jeff Staple of Staple Design. The Pigeon dunks quite left their mark after quietly being released at Supreme, and igniting the worst and the longest sneaker-campout in history at The Reed Space. The Pigeon Dunk release campout started nearly 7 days prior to release, where weather went as low as -5°; but troopers held their spots for their campout period and walked out with their prized possessions, The Pigeon Dunks.
Today, we are presented with another one of Jeff Staple’s collaboration with a Sneaker Company. But this time it’s with New Balance, not Nike. The New Balance 575 will release in the same color-scheme as the Pigeon Dunks, but with a slightly altered Pigeon logo. It’s been confirmed that this sneaker will be limited to 800 pairs worldwide.
