Good morning/afternoon/evening Guys! Thanks for being here with us as we go over the adidas Crazy 1. Enjoy, hit that thumbs up button, and if you haven't yet check out our WearTesters Discord Community at weartesters.com/join . O! And have a good one!
These were my first pair of Kobe’s back in high school. I really loved them! I still remember the commercial with Kobe riding a motorcycle. They lasted really long time for pure outdoor games and I think the synthetic upper does hold better than leather upper - the shoe still looked clean and newish even after the outsole was worn out.
These are dope for nostalgia. Kobe dropped Adidas because of how much he hated the Kobe 2 design. I remember friends copped these at an outlet and I was totally jealous I missed out! Great review!
These are the shoes most synonymous with Kobe from my point of view given how unique it is from a purely design perspective (also because a lot of his Nike shoes, while they're beasts on the court, look fairly similar) I've always liked the way they look - almost got them as a kid but never pulled the trigger. This time around I really want to get a pair for nostalgia purposes...not something you can wear casually everyday.
I absolutely ADORE these my favorite Adidas Kobe I had these & the Kobe 2 both in this colorway when I was in 4th & 5th grade along with the Answer 4&5 🤍 🖤
I had the first color way of these back in high school. My mom gave me $200 to buy myself a Christmas gift and I spent all of it on these.😭 this was about 2001-2002 so yeah expensive. I loved those shoes to death. RIP Mamma and Mamba 😢
I played in these in high school in 2003 beat the hell out of them and final cut hard and top half separated from the bottom half. But they lasted long and I played street ball in them also. I bought the Blue ice pair few years back and have them in my channel background. I can’t wait to try these again! Boost would have been so sick on these
Love those shoes. At the time 2001, Adidas box was with profile of Kobe face, loos so good. Creasing looks bad after some time, but still great memories winning that 1st title. RIP Mamba 🙏🏻
probably still holds up as the most futuristic /contemporary shoe box of all time. witht the translucent plastic dwawer sleave over the box..nostalgic as hell
These where ahead of their time fr.. these look like they couldve came out today.. I hated these as a kid but as in adult and a real sneaker head these are ridiculously 🔥🔥🔥
I used to love the look of those back in the day when they first released……and definitely was in the camp of thinking it was adidas attempt at the foamposite. Didn’t realize how boxy they are look-wise. I used to think they were a lot sleeker but guess I’m wrong ….they look like shoes made in Minecraft. I totally forgot about the converse helium shoe!!!! Those were a trip!!!
lots of fun memories with these. Bought it my senior year in high school, had the best practice ever (didn't translate to game play though), and it was stolen from me. I am always of the camp who loves the adidas audi collab so good to see these coming back. The originals started out real snug but played nicely after breaking in. cant wait to wear these again. And if i remember correctly Kobe wore these throughout his 1sr 3 peat during the playoffs with some PE colorways that got released with the last retro.
I got 2 original pairs of them when I was in university, white-yellow and grey, long long time. I mostly played on outdoor. I can't say they are good or bad because I still young and got a fresh legs. But they were so cool that time. I never saw anybody ware them, only me. And that was awesome 😎
This is a shoe that has the potential to be the next Air Jordan 2: unloved for ages, but then a bit of a re-release/tribute, a few decent colourways, something in the zeitgeist is favourable and suddenly it's THE thing to have.
I had the 1s loved em' I still have the 2s wore them once out to dinner really tight never wore them again still in the box in my closet. The Graphite gray release. Love the channel 👍
I was actually working at the Adidas Factory in SC, when these came out. They were hyped, and we shipped them non stop. I like them a lot. Yeezy Vibes for sure
Audi TT roadster and convertible- no cruiser. I bought the all black Kobe 1’s when I was in Tech school in the Air Force in 2000. Was moving and left them in someone’s trunk and never ever got to wear them. I think I was the only person that liked them back then 😂- Cheers Chris and Jody
I copped the Nike BB4's at the same time my boy copped these exact Kobes lol we took hoopin so seriously. We won provincials (Canadian State) and looking back it's funny thinking it was because of the kicks cuz godamn those BB4s were heavy lmao. These Kobes are sweet to play in.
Never really liked these enough to cop, but I know a couple of people who loved these. Hey, different strokes for different folks! Even though I never copped a pair, it is cool to see em come back, for nostalgia reasons, Plus, Kobe actually made these things look good! Thanks for another entertaining video from Weartesters!
I loved the Kobe 2's I wore them my senior year on the basketball team. I did hate that I couldn't replace the laces after I wore them out. Otherwise I would have keep them.
This was my 2nd kobe shoes after my kb8 iii when I graduated high school. I played in these on cement courts back in the Philippines and the more you played in them the more they get and feel better.
my brother had a pair of these when we were kids, man i thought they were clunky back in the day but now its just fire!! btw do you think you'll ever do a video on a pair of Patrick Ewing shoes? i snagged a pair of their Rogue shoes and they are pretty comfortable, same for the regular Fila Men's MB just a classic that is so comfortable!
I still have the previous retro of these. They were uncomfortable as hell to me. Mainly because they hug your foot way too snug, but I still wore them into the ground. My production date says 11/2013. Fond memories. Always felt like I was wearing storm trooper shoes. The rear of mine is actually actually silver instead of yellow but it does have the adidas embroidered on the tongue.
I remember getting the baby blue powder pair back in 2015 and all I have to say is these kicks feel like walking pillows, really missed balling in these very comfortable and such a classic shoe.
Just purchase this for my son. It is one of my dream shoes back in the days and cant afford it tbh so i purchase it. Hope it performs well in the court
Mine came in last week I won them in End..I was soo siked! 80s baby and happy these returned! .my crazy 97 purple comes in today (end). My soul is happy to have these shoes now that we couldn't afford as a kid
I like this sillhouette from Kobe's Adidas signature model. However what I don't like about these is it can get crease easily on the sides of midfoot. That's my only gripe on this sneaker. I also didn't like the IIs either. But for some reason I am hoping that it will be retroed also soon. To get introduced to younger generation. Because it has also a story and part of Kobe's sneaker history.
so much nostalgia..i remember going to 4 different malls here in the bayarea..end getting them in milpitas great mall still have have to this day and the last retro..these are on the way as well…
I was excited when the Kobe 2s came out thinking low cut shoe = lighter, but when I held them in store they were some of the heaviest shoes ever! Like you said, no idea how Kobe played in them!
Kobe loved these so much he also wore this on their next 2 championship runs. Or maybe the 2s weren't comfy so he went back to the first ones during the 02 playoffs.
I wore the original shoes they were comfortable, the cushion was soft and bouncy. back then adidas shoes were very comfortable. even there tennis shoes. And i play with them little bit. They looked good so i didnt play with them too much. Mine were blue
I love these kicks? Growing up in the 90s, I can still remember how I felt when I saw them back then. I had to take a second look. Kinda "what are thoooose" moments. Some might not like the design (even the next version) but I like them. However, wearing them on court is another matter. I can wear these for bball but not the second one. I think that is too heavy for me. 😅
I had the white Kobe when they released. I think it was 2000. They were super comfortable. I would definitely cop them. The do remind me of the Yeezy 700 V3. 🔥🔥🔥
I scored a yellow pair from a used shoe shop and growing up while knowing my true true (foot) size, i wore a two size bigger and proud that I actually own this! 🤣 story of my life
An all time favorite of mine!!! Had the OG in both white and black colorways, awesome shoes, then got the Crazy 1 retro a few years ago and they're not as great as the OG. Kobe actually won his first three chips wearing them, the third one in Lakers home and away colorways (both white and black pairs with details in purple and gold) after ditching the Kobe Two for the playoffs.
FUN FACT: Kobe wore the Adidas TheKobe for all 3 Finals during their 2000-2002 3peat. ...debut them for the 1st time in the 2000 playoffs/ finals. wore them in the finals for 2001( the season they actually came out) then switched back to them just for the 2002 finals after wearing the kobetwo all season.
I had the black ones in middle school when they came out. And the silver ones when they released again. Used to love to play in them, now think they're bulky. I always wanted the white one though so I might get these
I had the OG version in the Titanium/Silver colorway. They were heavy bricks and were not comfy. Super hot and constructive too. They did not get heavy wear with me. More of a collector’s item imo
The first time I skipped a flagship Jordan was the 15 and in their place I copped these. I really want these for nostalgic reasons but man you can’t get that many colors wrong with the heel accent and most noticeably the toe cap! Might have to pass.. was really looking forward to these too 😭
I agree with my man. If someone labeled these Yzy futures this would be popping just for the association. Put a 300 price tag and all the hypebeasts will flock.
I never had the original adidas Kobe 1s, but I did have the 2s, and tbh, aside from the creasing, the shoes were very comfortable and had great traction and support. Other than eBay (or certain resale sites), does anyone know if there is another site where those could be purchased from?

I have a black pair from the last release and they are super stiff!! I still love them for the nostalgia because I grew up watching Jordan and Kobe!!

I worked at FootAction USA back when these first released 20+/- years ago and I remember the selling point was how the shoe was designed by Audi

I had the silver Kobe 2s to play in my freshman basketball season I honestly used to really enjoy playing in them.
Great review as always! Chanel is my go to for reviews. Appreciate the technical breakdowns and honest opinions. Been watching for awhile now.
I had these as a kid although my mother (RIP) thought they were heavy and didn't let me wear them all the time these were my favorite sneakers .

In Spartanburg?
Yup, Sparkle City ✨️
@@James-jl6jp I remember going there as a child. Is it still open
I'm not sure. I've lived in Dallas the last 10 years
Audi TT roadster and convertible- no cruiser. I bought the all black Kobe 1’s when I was in Tech school in the Air Force in 2000. Was moving and left them in someone’s trunk and never ever got to wear them. I think I was the only person that liked them back then 😂- Cheers Chris and Jody

One of the best sneakers IMO Glad I have a pair of the originals

Kobe’s Best Shoe from Adidas🔥
Been waiting for these to come back for a min
I recently ordered a pair if these stormtroopers can't wait. I always wanted them when I was a teenager I'm excited to get them now
I loved the Kobe 2's I wore them my senior year on the basketball team. I did hate that I couldn't replace the laces after I wore them out. Otherwise I would have keep them.
You are definitely the Best when it comes to reviewing shoes…..thank you
This was my 2nd kobe shoes after my kb8 iii when I graduated high school. I played in these on cement courts back in the Philippines and the more you played in them the more they get and feel better.

the flat iron is back, very nostalgic!
I like this Crazy Kobe 1, not because of its performance but it brings alot good Kobe memory.
Totally ordered the invincible shirt after your last video. You should get them as a sponsor! Also great content as always.
I had these back in the day when they first came out and I loved them.
These are my favorite Kobe’s 🔥
As a kid I owned almost avery shoe Kobe had with adidas, including these and still think these look fly. So nostalgic
my very first pair of signature basketball shirts growing up when I was kid. these are a must!!!
I still have the previous retro of these. They were uncomfortable as hell to me. Mainly because they hug your foot way too snug, but I still wore them into the ground. My production date says 11/2013. Fond memories. Always felt like I was wearing storm trooper shoes. The rear of mine is actually actually silver instead of yellow but it does have the adidas embroidered on the tongue.
I actually really like it! I wish these could come to the stores in South Africa
This one of those sneakers that’s brings nostalgia to none-sneakerheads! E.g. my brother as he was a huge Kobe fan in his high school days
No matter about the complaints people will have about these they will sell out , any Kobe’s that drop Adidas or Nike will be copped
Thank you for another great in depth review. The best to do it!
I got clowned on growing up wearing these. I never cared because I knew Kobe was better than anyone you named lol.
Front grill is, you are correct - white. One more thing, insole is with the Kobe profile. Love those shoes.
I remember getting the baby blue powder pair back in 2015 and all I have to say is these kicks feel like walking pillows, really missed balling in these very comfortable and such a classic shoe.
I remember these Kobes fitting perfectly when I tried them on. Was to broke to cop back then!
Just purchase this for my son. It is one of my dream shoes back in the days and cant afford it tbh so i purchase it. Hope it performs well in the court
I have the Sunshine and silver colorway and I love them! Will definitely try to grab these if I can.
Mine came in last week I won them in End..I was soo siked! 80s baby and happy these returned! .my crazy 97 purple comes in today (end). My soul is happy to have these shoes now that we couldn't afford as a kid

I use to call these moon shoes and space shoes when Kobe wore these. That all yellow colorway was legendary lol.
so much nostalgia..i remember going to 4 different malls here in the bayarea..end getting them in milpitas great mall still have have to this day and the last retro..these are on the way as well…
I just noticed that gray front looked like it paid homage to the superstars/pro model..btw these were always 🔥🔥🔥

Kobe loved these so much he also wore this on their next 2 championship runs.
Or maybe the 2s weren't comfy so he went back to the first ones during the 02 playoffs.
He was unhappy at adidas and bought out his own contract. He may have worn these because he wasn’t liking the The Kobe 2.
Love the shirt! Love that show.
I wore the original shoes they were comfortable, the cushion was soft and bouncy.
back then adidas shoes were very comfortable.
even there tennis shoes.
And i play with them little bit.
They looked good so i didnt play with them too much.
Mine were blue
The day he passed, I was wearing the eddie jones quick 6 and switched to these when I heard the news.
Look at crocs the Yeezy slides big bulky wide these Kobe’s are back in style. With todays fashion must cop for me 🔥
I hope I can grab a pair of these. It’s an interesting shoe. I want to grab a pair, coz of kobe. 😅
Awesome review as always! 🔥
Agree that these designs caught up to itself, it looks like a hypebeast shoe that would come out now, in a good way imo
I wear a size 14 and I tried on a size 13 in these and they fit perfectly, I found them for 29.99 at Ross, so it was a instant cop for me
I still remember your review on the previous retro in the park, Mr. Nightwing
I had the OG's in black I loved them, I wish adidas retro that colorway; they were really comfy and light, they were great
I love these kicks? Growing up in the 90s, I can still remember how I felt when I saw them back then. I had to take a second look. Kinda "what are thoooose" moments. Some might not like the design (even the next version) but I like them. However, wearing them on court is another matter. I can wear these for bball but not the second one.

Once you see that bump on the left side you can't unsee it🤦🏾♂️ it's all I noticed the whole second half of the video. Haha.
I had the white Kobe when they released. I think it was 2000. They were super comfortable. I would definitely cop them. The do remind me of the Yeezy 700 V3. 🔥🔥🔥
I hope that they remaster the adidas Kobe 2. I love them moon rover shoes
May 10, 2024 245pm i just bought these in yellow. These are damn near a perfect chunky skate shoe for actual skating 👍🏾
The all black ones will they also release this year? When? Thanks great review!
Those shirts are dope! I can’t wait for the next sesson
I remember when John wall and Dame dropped there city edition versions they were both 🔥 especially John walls cherry blossoms one🔥🔥🙏🏽🙏🏽
My wife just got me the black pair that came out on the 15 and its just pure nostalgia
I had a pair of those when I was young. Loved kobe and that shoe
Part of me likes ‘‘em and wants a pair🤔. Got a pair of Alexander Wang Adidas that are similar
I scored a yellow pair from a used shoe shop and growing up while knowing my true true (foot) size, i wore a two size bigger and proud that I actually own this! 🤣 story of my life
Something about this shoe. Not the best looking but I love it
I def have the last retro in VNDS. Somehow the first retro from like 06-07 feels more comfortable.
An all time favorite of mine!!! Had the OG in both white and black colorways, awesome shoes, then got the Crazy 1 retro a few years ago and they're not as great as the OG.

I had played in those when I was kid. I had got 2 left shoes and got these day before my basketball game and had to go back that same night
FUN FACT: Kobe wore the Adidas TheKobe for all 3 Finals during their 2000-2002 3peat.
...debut them for the 1st time in the 2000 playoffs/ finals. wore them in the finals for 2001( the season they actually came out) then switched back to them just for the 2002 finals after wearing the kobetwo all season.
From behind the tongue and outline of the shoe make the Trefoil design! Just noticed that!
I had the black ones in middle school when they came out. And the silver ones when they released again. Used to love to play in them, now think they're bulky.
I always wanted the white one though so I might get these
Kobe got busy in these! And springed his ankle in these...
where did you get them from and thank you, amaizing video
I had the OG version in the Titanium/Silver colorway. They were heavy bricks and were not comfy. Super hot and constructive too. They did not get heavy wear with me. More of a collector’s item imo
*constrictive
wasn't a big kobe fan but these was his best shoe in my opinion
The first time I skipped a flagship Jordan was the 15 and in their place I copped these. I really want these for nostalgic reasons but man you can’t get that many colors wrong with the heel accent and most noticeably the toe cap! Might have to pass.. was really looking forward to these too 😭
I agree with my man. If someone labeled these Yzy futures this would be popping just for the association. Put a 300 price tag and all the hypebeasts will flock.
I honestly love those shoes.!!!!
The feet you wear line of Kobe or the crazy 8 is a line I actually enjoy
Love your vídeos!! IT is actually a TT coupe not a TT crusier that maybe clarified the PT crusier confusión !!! LOL
Damn i cant believe i missed this one. I loved the mesh version but this was a close 2nd
I never had the original adidas Kobe 1s, but I did have the 2s, and tbh, aside from the creasing, the shoes were very comfortable and had great traction and support. Other than eBay (or certain resale sites), does anyone know if there is another site where those could be purchased from?
