Following the adidas Yeezy Foam Runner MX “Cream Clay”, the adidas Yeezy Foam Runner MX returns this year in a bold “Carbon” theme. Overall, this molded and futuristic looking croc-like runner is essentially defined by its unique construction with revealing slits that provide ventilation across its entirety. Tones of purple, black, and volt simply adorn the silhouette’s entirety in brushed strokes, which notably looks like if it was painted on the model. Finally, a distinctly shaped outsole that offers sufficient traction rounds out the design.

Another new colorway of the retro adidas Adimatic is set to drop soon with the arrival of the Purple Tint pair seen below. Every detail on this 2022 retro is authentic, from the zigzag midsole and supple leather to the unmistakably wide 3-Stripes. Giving it that modern touch, the shoe is made in part with recycled content generated from production waste, e.g. cutting scraps, and post-consumer household waste to avoid the larger environmental impact of producing virgin content. This pair gets covered in Purple Tint suede all over the upper with Crystal White detailing on the branding throughout. White midsoles and semi-translucent gum rubber outsoles finish off the look on this adidas Adimatic that can be copped at select retailers soon for $110.

Simply staying true to its original 2015 aesthetic, the low-top sports the familiar Turtle Dove and Blue Grey Primeknit upper that bears the distinct knitted pattern across, while a white TPU ribbed sole that encases the full-length Boost cushioned sole solidifies the profile. Finally, heel tabs with red accents round out the popular style.

When the majority of us think about Kobe Bryant sneakers, we tend to link the late NBA superstar with Nike. This makes perfect sense since Kobe Bryant (estate) and Nike will soon be closing in on their 20-year anniversary. That being said, Kobe Bryant’s sneaker origin story did not begin with Nike. Rather, it began with adidas. For that reason alone, this is what makes these upcoming adidas sneaker releases so significant.

The adidas Crazy 97 EQT ((formerly known as the Elevation EQT) became a household name when Kobe Bryant laced them up on his way to winning the 1997 Slam Dunk contest, becoming the youngest dunk champion at the age of 18. Although not “officially” a Kobe Bryant signature sneaker, the Crazy 97 was considered the first kicks Kobe ever got from adidas.

The adidas Crazy 1 (formerly known as the adidas Kobe) made its debut back in 2000. A rerelease happened in 2006 while the latest retro took place during the mid-2010s. These Crazy 1 is also the sneaker Kobe wore during his his first of five NBA championships. Without a doubt one of Kobe’s most unique looking sneakers, the Crazy 1 is highlighted by its molded upper that was designed to look like the Audi TT Roadster. Other design include a double foam collar, half-shell toe, injected EVA midsole and a Torsion system. Always labeled as a controversial sneaker due to its looks, there’s no denying that the tone of this upcoming retro is much different than past offerings for the simple fact that Kobe is no longer with us. For that reason, this release will be much more memorable and emotional than all of its predecessors.

Although the Kobe Bryant and Nike partnership has recently been rekindled, adidas would still like to commemorate the legend that is Kobe Bryant by bringing back some of his most notable early models that he wore during his tenure with the Three Stripes.

The adidas Crazy 97 EQT will be returning in the classic Purple, Black and White colorway that Kobe wore during the 1997 Slam Dunk contest, as well as in a brand new Silver, Black, and White “All-Star” colorway nodding to the colors of 1997?s All-Star Weekend. Also making a return is the adidas Crazy 1 in the OG White and Black “Stormtrooper” colorway. Looking to grab a pair or three? All three pairs will be dropping overseas on July 22nd at select premium retailers which includes the good people over at BSTN (yes, they ship adidas product to the U.S.)

In Jordan Brand news, the Air Jordan 4 WMNS Canyon Purple is expected to debut next month.

While the 2022 NBA All-Star festivities in Cleveland already took place, the adidas Crazy 97 EQT All-Star 1997 is finally debuting at select retailers overseas as this exclusive pair commemorates the 25th anniversary of the momentous event. If you’re unfamiliar with this style, the silhouette was previously dubbed as the EQT Elevation, the very first model that Kobe Bryant wore during his NBA rookie season back in 1996-97. With the sneaker staying true to its OG aesthetic via the signature Three Stripe marking on its sides, alongside zig-zag detailing on the midsole, the overall makeup consists of black, white, and silver throughout. Finally, pops of orange and blue accents as an acknowledgment to the colors of the 1997 All-Star Weekend rounds out the profile nicely.
