The adidas Crazy 8 is one of the iconic basketball silhouettes from the brand, and for the most part it's all thanks to Kobe Bryant. The first signature shoe for Kobe from the Three Stripes, the Crazy 8 gave players the aestetic they were looking for, along with the durability and support a modern day basketball shoe needed. Today, adidas is paying homage to two legends of the sport, as they debut the Crazy 8 "Mutumbo".

Kobe and Dikembe faced off in the 2001 NBA Finals, and now adidas is bringing them back together in a special way. The Crazy 8 "Mutumbo" draws from the Fear Your Wear colorway, but is done with some styling seen on Dikembe's signatures with adidas. The shoe features a black suede upper, and of course has Mutumbos number 55 embroidered along the ankle and his logo patch on the tongue, very much like in his own signatures. adidas also brought the funky Mutumbo print to the midsole, which sits atop a red and yellow rubber outsole.
