Futuristic Silver Tonal Footwear

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The adidas Crazy 2 Sneaker Gets a Silver Metallic Colorway

— February 12, 2025 — Fashion
adidas introduces a new tonal iteration of the Crazy 2 sneaker model with the Silver Metallic colorway palette to join its roster. The model is set to launch officially for Spring 2025 in April. The final signature shoe between Kobe Bryant and adidas is now making its highly anticipated return. It made its first debut back in 2001 when the Kobe 2 was launched inspired by the Audi TT Roadster.

It was defined by a futuristic and streamlined design that stood out from the traditional basketball shoes. It has a bulky silhouette which contributes to Kobe's choice to leave adidas to Nike originally. The bold design of the Crazy 2 has a silver Metalic edition with a shiny synthetic leather upper and then detailed with sleek black accents.
