So glad you love these, dude! We did our best to bring the same look and feel of the OG mids down to this new low cut variation of the crazy 8. Our design Director, Prad absolutely killed it along with the development and CAM team. I am the designer fortunate to be responsible for our retro line (among a few others), but the crazy 1s, 8s, 98s, etc are all my projects. I love how you dive into the details and history of the shoe, you do such a good job!
@@TDUFFLES202 damn I bet it’s pretty hectic trying to come up with ideas especially working for a company so high luxury like adidas bro, I’m definitely copping those 2’s when they come out. But I have to ask, have you ever met any of the adidas athletes like Trae Young before?
@@gerbiljoe5667 yeah I’ve met Don when i worked on the Don 5, and D Rose when I worked on the S.O.C III. But I’m on the lifestyle basketball side of things now.
The lows are more wearable in my opinion, I had a pair of the highs and got rid of them because of how bulky they are. These would be better for casual wear. 🔥
I'm so happy they made these low. These were very friendly to my big, flat feet and now that they're low because my feet made the high tops looked messed up on my feet, like them chicks that make the Uggs boots look messed up. I just hope they get more colour combinations. Especially the "I Love Mom" joints.
Hope they release here and I can try them on before deciding to buy a pair. Awesome review as always. 🔥🔥 I’d go to the 70’s. Life was more fun and simple.
I doubled up on the black high tops. Honestly these lows peak my interest! Such a huge miss for Adidas when they originally dropped! I’m happy they are easily available in my area. Great video!
Qotd answer: Easily go back to see Rush in Exit Stage Left in Toronto, Genesis during the Trick of the Tail with Bill Bruford guest drumming, King Crimson during the 80s period, Yes during the Union tour, getting all the good Nike shoes before 1997 (the gas in the air units before they used nitrogen today would be a problem though...), and travel forward to 2112 to see if the Rush fandom made sure to remember!
I like the lows better than the highs, but to each their own. Going to the future when they have realistic hologram technology. Might try after work, and hit 88mph on the way home. I hope my tires are balanced.
The lows look dope! As for the question of the day, hmmmmmm……..my automatic response is to go watch MJ play live….preferably Bulls but I’ll take wizards too. However I suppose that fall in the your own timeline caveat. Then I guess it’ll be the Cretaceous period so I can see some of my fav dinosaurs, or meet Malcom X after his pilgrimage to Mecca. Oooooh or to observe the behind the scenes of nasa and everything that went into the moon landing.
First off, these are 👍🏼 I’d go back to 1985, three years before I released. 🤭 I’d watch a Celtics v Bulls game. I’d go to the movies and watch Back To Future. Try my very best to spoil the future for everyone. lol Definitely buying a few pairs of Jordan 1’s, air ships, Reebok club c & dunk highs. I’ll be paying in cash. Not going to show off my iPhone/Apple Watch & two & go debit/credit cards. lol
I love the high tops, but not on feet. They've always looked weird LOL... Like the ankle area is so puffy 😂 these are still my favorite Adidas Kobe sneaker ever. The "home" colorway is my personal grail. I might have to pick these up. The only good thing about the insoles is the top cover. I like the feel of it but yeah it's garbage
I love the recent high top retro of these but the sizing is just so weird. I have normal width feet and even going a full size up the shoes just didn't fit right. Sad that sizing is also an issue on these low tops🥲
I haven't purchased an Adidas basketball shoe in years but this may end that streak. It's been so long that I don't remember whose shoe it was Gil or T-Mac.
QOTD: The year 3000, of course. Just to see how much Conan knew. These lows look more wearable than the mids, but they're still not for me. It's totally a preference: I like shoes that are white with a little black or black with a little white, but close to 50-50 just isn't my style. It seems like they executed the model well, though. Thanks for the review. Algorithm punched and see you soon!
Not so keen on the look of these as a low. As for the QOTD, I’m a history graduate so I can’t decide, too many interesting choices. Also, I also can’t imagine really wanting to go to all these moments in the past where you’d be at risk of dying from diseases, or whatever crises was ongoing at the time. With Chris’ answer about seeing Samurai and ninjas, if you haven’t watched Shogun, do, you see a Westerners experience of seeing all that stuff for the first time. It’s also one of the best shows to come out in a while
Question: would you rather be a billionaire and only rock dress shoes, or be an average Joe and rock all the illest sneakers every sneaker you wanted and then sum🤔
I will never understand why the best looking Kobe from adidas was the only one with no adiprene/adiprene+ cushion, just the stiffest EVA and that's all. I have the 2013 all star retros and at least those have a better insole, I missed on that white cw from the last edition.

@@TDUFFLES202 damn, what’s it like working for adidas? Also, any word on when the Kobe 2 retros are coming out? 👀
@ it can be both incredibly fun and rewarding, yet very stressful and difficult. Haha but just know those 2s are coming soon 😉

@@thisisjayeverydayyy jay who ask you anything boy 👦
I think that these are clean I would definitely get them
Bs

I love the hidden swoosh at the ankle 😉
I had the original release. Balled out in them. These lows are fire
Both are dope high and low

Chris reviews shoes
With a super fresh flow
finally!! I've been telling myself for years if they ever made a low of these I'd buy them instantly, guess i gotta be a man of my word lol
Hope they release here and I can try them on before deciding to buy a pair.
Awesome review as always. 🔥🔥
I’d go to the 70’s. Life was more fun and simple.
The hightop kb8 black/purple cw were my first adidas, i had them when i was 12 yo. Geeeez time flies so fast.
So was I, but they were my second bball sneaker
I picked up the ASU color way from the collegiate pack they released last month. Love this shoe in the low top form glad it’s final here
These lows remind me so much of the Adidas EQT FYW low trainers during that time too.
Finally Chris I had told you to review this shoes for weeks now since the navy Low came out
I doubled up on the black high tops. Honestly these lows peak my interest! Such a huge miss for Adidas when they originally dropped! I’m happy they are easily available in my area. Great video!
Yup been waiting for this review since the ink blue dropped 🎉
Classic re-done in the most beautiful way🔥🔥🔥
90s Baby... Yeah Boi🤞🤞🤞
I prefer the overall look/proportions of the highs, but those collegiate colorways look so good 👌
I'd go back to 1983, exactly a year before I was born and visit my mother.
The nostalgia! These look 🔥 ❤
I'd go back to the time when MJ was rooting for Adidas and convince Adidas to sign MJ.. love that 3stripe brand.
3:17 😂😂 I thought yall were about to be canceled like that scene from deadpool wolverine when deadpool meet Blade
I love them both, I love the Air uptempo lows too ❤
I truly loved the early adidas Kobe line
Thanks to your vid Chris & Jodie I was able to cop this pair right away😜
These look incredible!!
Love the content!
Just got me the high tops
In the olive color way for 40$ off adidas 🤘🏼
🔥 *I have to cop em*
Nostalgic sneaker. Love it.. I'd go forward in time just to see how the world is in the future, maybe flying cars are available there. ♥️
Love it.The color of the lining should be te same as the color of the stripes and the outside of the tongue.
I have the highs and love them. These low tops are pretty sick.
The low's, definitely look better. I hope the come out with more colorways

I like them. But i gotta see other colorways
uptempo low and crazy 8 low 🔥
i used to have 2 og pairs back in the day. i dont hoop much anymore so i cant justify buying these but they look awesome
looks good for a lows but will wait if adidas will release a cushion like the ones they currently release on their protros. 🙂
@@gilbert2821 u mean restomods
U mean restomods
But smart idea
@@TINYFROGYR7 thank you for that. i really forgot the term. 😂
The new EQLZ 360s looks like these. Love the retro look
I like these lows better than the originals, just like the air uptempo lows. I’m all aboard the low train.
i would want to jump back to the 60s and catch a Celtics vs Lakers game, finally see the legends like Jerry West and Bill Russell in their prime
Yes sir. I saw these but I need them in black and white.
I bought the Crazy 8 PVAMU pair. They represent my Alma Mater & the colors could represent the LAL.
These are so sick... but they did this back in the day with the Keyshawn EQT trainers... but i'm scooping up a pair of these anyway!!
Love the low
I waited years for the lows to come out and they never did. I gotta have these.
i would cop this 🔥
these are FIRE. would love if they dropped a white/forrest green color way
I like the lows better than the highs, but to each their own. Going to the future when they have realistic hologram technology. Might try after work, and hit 88mph on the way home. I hope my tires are balanced.
Already ordered the same colorway from Adidas. Looking forward til' Nov. 12 2024 👏
These are 🔥🔥🔥

I like that time travel question.
I love your reviews on the shoes ❤. When is the hoodie your wearing going to be available?
The lows r so clean
I would totally time travel to when the Great Pyramids were built. I HAVE to know how they did it

This look really cool , I hope they release them in mexico
I got a stupid deal on some white high tops . As an adidas fan I love all the FYW , BYW , and stuff with similar design language .
Nice looking socks 🔥🔥
What brand socks are they
I agreed if they r the all star color way would be sick
I have the mutombo colorway.. id love to have a low top version.. the clunkiness is a retro indeed
Need these in the All-Star CW
Well now the next video's intro should definitely be an 80s styled rap 😂😂
I need a pair!!!
I love the recent high top retro of these but the sizing is just so weird. I have normal width feet and even going a full size up the shoes just didn't fit right. Sad that sizing is also an issue on these low tops🥲
Im intrigued
they need to release the black og colorway in the lows

Early 90s lol I only get a few years but life was better 😂
Can they be hooped in, tho?
lowkey reminds me of fila spaghetti lows. p sick that they decided to make these
I got the Seattle colorway a few weeks ago I love them thangs but there is heel slippage but I don't care

Almost everything is more wearable as a low. These also look better as a low. That's rarer.
Have you noticed you got a typo in the socks url graphic yet?
I pray to get them at Ross for $50 in a few months
Good shoe!
w the top chopped off it reminds me of the Yeezy 500's
yall need to cover the nxxt gen ampd
Super dope
Would love to time travel and meet my grandfather.
hey brother, there's a typo in the Seriousplayeronly flyer appearing on minute 07:28 ( an extra "r" )
The second one he went to the future and saw his older self and his son who looks just like him
Question: would you rather be a billionaire and only rock dress shoes, or be an average Joe and rock all the illest sneakers every sneaker you wanted and then sum🤔
Billionaire please😂
we need these restomod
🚨🚨 Both the high top and lows in this colorway are both 50% on eBay thru the Adidas store. $48 for the low and $54.50 for the high. You're welcome 🥳
do you have a review of the Nike SB PS8?
You can tell your channel is getting more views because I had so many adds while watching this.
Where can I buy that hoodie with that Kobe 🤯🔥🔥
Coming soon to SinceApparel.com
If you were stuck on a deserted island for one week, what restaurant would you have on the island? (You won’t need to make your own)

Would love if you guys brought those episodes back.
Not enough views to keep it going.
@WearTesters thats really a shame. Yall did a really good job. I listen to tons of podcast and yalls was always in rotation
@@Itsnotmeitsyou2720 It's okay. Maybe we'll try again later on. We appreciate everyone that did support it.
