Kobe's 2001 All-Star Game Sneakers Return This Month

As Adidas continues to dive deep xplr its archive of basketball classics, the brand rekindles the spirit of one of its most dynamic partnerships with a special edition release of the Crazy 1.

This silhouette, which once bore the name "The KOBE," is getting a vibrant makeover that pays homage to one of the most electrifying eras in NBA history. Dressed in an unmistakable Laker yellow, complemented by matte black midsole and accents, this Adidas Crazy 1 "All-Star" edition captures the essence of the early 2000s basketball scene.

Adding to its allure, the tongue of the sneaker features a special “01” logo, a nod to the year Kobe Bryant showcased his talents in these kicks —albeit a little less vibrant in color — during the NBA All-Star Game. It's a tribute that celebrates the legacy of an NBA legend and revives the nostalgic appeal of a sneaker that once dominated the hardwood.

Currently available from Adidas Australia, this Adidas Crazy 1 "All-Star" is expected to arrive in global markets soon — likely to coincide with the upcoming NBA All-Star game in mid-February.

Until cold details emerge, enjoy an official look at the 2024 re-release below.
