The adidas Crazy 1 ‘Regal Purple’ Is Out Now!

News on this release was first published October 14, 2022.

Update January 18, 2023: Since surfacing last year, the adidas Crazy 1 ‘Regal Purple’ is now available to shop direct from adidas! Hit the link below to cop.

One of the most polarising sneakers in recent years, the adidas Crazy 1 (formerly known as ‘The Kobe’) was originally modelled on the Audi TT Roadster.

Reportedly a major factor in triggering issues between Kobe Bryant and adidas, the vehement feedback on the Crazy 1 (and Kobe’s adi catalogue more broadly) appears to have softened in recent years, with fashion’s inevitable 20-year cycle no doubt driving nostalgia.

Originally released in 2000, the latest colourway of the adidas Crazy 1 to arrive is the eye-catching ‘Regal Purple’ rendition. Composed in ‘Regal Purple’, ‘Core Black’ and ‘Pewter’, the model features all the hallmarks of the OG silhouette, including injected EVA midsoles, half-shell toe and TORSION system.

The Crazy 1 first retroed in 2006 – also the time when the model was officially renamed.
