Kobe Bryant’s second signature sneaker in the adidas KB8 II debuted during the shortened 1998-99 lockout season. The “Feet You Wear” technology once again returned for this style, which helped adapt your feet to move naturally within the shoes. The eye-catching wavy pattern on the upper was designed for added support at the top of your feet.
Years after Kobe left the three stripes for swooshes, adidas retroed the KB8 II, renaming it the adidas Crazy 2.
