Nope...but he sure did put a fire up under their behinds..You have to admit if it wasn't for him they would still be having a basic style...Kayne experiments with designs
I love my pair they do fit really snug but on feet they look huge, and it’s also weird because the toe had no give but you get no heel slip either… love throwing these on with my sweats
The KOBE wasn’t the first signature shoe for Kobe Bryant. He wore the 1998 FYW which was renamed the KB8 which was quickly followed by the 1998 EQT KB8 II, and the 1999 EQT KB8 III. The KOBE ONE was his first shoe after EQT disbanded. There is another story about why Kobe left 3 Stripes. adidas began focusing on sports other than basketball. Kobe was unhappy with his role in the company. I can understand that - All the work the brand is doing today retains the design language from EQT and KOBE. Imagine the madness the would have developed had Kobe been given the more prominent role he desired. The shroud on the Crazy Infinity is a carry over from the KOBE, and it actually has a purpose. Kobe always struggled with laces. The shroud was developed to minimize the problem. Anyway, no one cared about these futurist bball shoes until Kobe passed and the YZY design team lifted heavily from the archives. This shoe spins off the other insane bball shoe of the era… the Mad Handle. T-Mac and Kobe really pushed the design language with their requirements. ✌🏽💙👟
They're not for me but they are very interesting. I think they'd look pretty dope with a Y-3 aesthetic or a "demon-mode" fit that you'd see on r/streetwear lmao btw can't wait to see the video for that very limited Wales Bonner Samba in the background 👀👀👀
Kobe Bryant had 4 signature shoes with Adidas. The kb1, kb2. The kobe 1 and the kobe 2 and there was a kobe 3 that looks very similar to the crazy infinity but Kobe hated them and signed with nike after that. I know this because i was waiting for the Kobe iii because Kobe was my idol back in the 90s and 2000s. But the shoes never came out. Once the nike zoom kobe 1s came out i bought them instantly
interesting shoe for sure...even with my Adi Foam (which are HUGE) i can only rock them a certain way (and not often)..but Always dope to see innovation and styles
Some research will help to understand that is call Mad Infinity because is the evolution of the adidas Mad Handle, same as the Crazy Infinity is the evolution of adidas Crazy 1. Unfortunately you only know adidas “Kobes”
@@JoshDominic when an adidas retro basketball shoe is given a modern update to its design it's given the "IIINFINITY" name. Crazy 1 > Crazy IIINFINITY, Mad Handle > Mad IIINFINITY
I mean, the hole by the insert is for flexion. i don't get how you're a sneaker head or reviewer and not knkw that. You can actually see it flexing while you postion your feet in a tip toe action, and it sprung from there. 😂 my lord.
They look awful but if there a performance sneaker and they have advantages playing basket ball, that’s what they were designed for. But I wouldn’t buy them, I don’t think I would even wear them if I got them free unless I was paid to
Take the adidas logo off and replace it with balenciaga, these would be $950
Facts.
Looks like cow heels😂
Kinda love what Adidas have been doing lately
Taking all of kanyes designs
@@deezupzeohdown957 sure 👍
@@deezupzeohdown957 you think kanye did all those yeezy designs by himself? look up where the 500s sole came from before you make dumb statements ☠

Shoe has Mad in the name because it's a combo of the kobe 2 and Mad Handle shoe that tmac wore before his sig
Good to see someone who knows his sneaker history! Also, when people say Kobe only had 2 signature models with Adidas...smh
Nahhhh ion think that’s why
Baggy sweats or old style swishy track pañts would nice with these especially if they were cinched
Facts. Oversized clothing would be 🔥 with this.
Oversized/stacked would go hard tbh
Adidas AE 1 crushing every Adidas shoe at the moment!! Don't follow the wave, be the wave!!
This is definitely inspired by adidas mad hoopz in the early 00's. Had it in high school and had the same exact colorway as this one.
Love what adidas is doing it's so different
Definitely love them and what adidas is doing I have the adidas crazy 1 crazy 8 crazy 97 Tmac 3 and getting these and the AE 1 also the harden Vol 8
Just ordered them off the adidas website can’t wait to have these on hand
I love my pair they do fit really snug but on feet they look huge, and it’s also weird because the toe had no give but you get no heel slip either… love throwing these on with my sweats
Which color way do you have?
if these ever go on sale i think ima need them
Facts. I’ll drop 80-100 on these
Thanks man, i think for the sizing it has a similar situation as Crazy IIInfinity cuz they both have a similar toe-down shape
I think these are dope and some of the other styles adidas have mad lately, it gives a more futuristic designer look for a more affordable price
Yoo - thnks for reviewing this shoe Josh. I have the exact feet type as u and was looking for a perfect feet sizing guide for this pair. Cheers
Yea man these are super tight go half up

Haven’t heard of these at all. Good looks on picking shoes some of us may not be aware of 🤞

These are hard! I hope they have them in a size 15
I hope so for you
These go hard 🔥 I had to cop a pair
They fit true to size or …?
@@scootlbjif you have a wide foot and prefer a roomy fit , maybe half a size up
Shoe is based off the Mad Handle, not the Kobe.
In the end, I bought it, it is so chill and special, Adidas is doing special, unlike Nike 😂😂😂
Btw comment from Hong Kong 😅
The next model they promoted was the Nova iiinfinity
interesting shoe for sure...even with my Adi Foam (which are HUGE) i can only rock them a certain way (and not often)..but Always dope to see innovation and styles
These innovative for sure
Adidas been crazy this year damn,but still prefer the infinity III
These so 🔥

Every article I read about this shoe didn’t mention this but thx for the info

I think they’re fire. I’m getting Yeezy vibes. 😀
These could go very hard with the right fit
These shoes are hard very underrated if Yeezys name was on these….IM BUYING A PAIR THIS WEEK
I kinda hate them but like them too😂
These look like an iron but I still love it😍🔥
The future of Adidas Basketball is here…
m a d i n f i n i t y …
oh god💀
(sneakers are crazy actually :) )
I want these❤
Tuff 🔥
Yessir
Bro these would go hard w so many fits
They look like the space boots kobes 2
These are wild ! They could be called yeezy 700 v4 :D a bit of v3 DNA imo
T-Mac mad handle shoe
Those are what Optimus Prime wears on his days off.
🔥🔥👌❤
Yeezy 700?! Style
are those toucans??
They look like something an astronaut would wear. That's all I got.
Your outfit was fine. You needed a oversized top to balance the outfit. The proportions of the shoe is large. Your attention goes to the shoes.
Ug Lee
Well, this shoes do looks mad😂like some cow heels
Yeezy Balenciaga vibes
WHAT ARE THOSE?!?!?
I mean, the hole by the insert is for flexion. i don't get how you're a sneaker head or reviewer and not knkw that. You can actually see it flexing while you postion your feet in a tip toe action, and it sprung from there. 😂 my lord.
Style these with sweats and shorts only….
looks like youre wearing baguettes on your feet
I don’t care how comfortable these are.
Any shoe that ugly isn’t going anywhere near my feet.
ok..
😅😂
Look like small snow mobiles.
😂😂😂
Naw the fit ddnt look good because you lacked confidence fr fr
Adidas mad chubby
The most ridiculous shoes I ever seen
They look awful but if there a performance sneaker and they have advantages playing basket ball, that’s what they were designed for.
But I wouldn’t buy them, I don’t think I would even wear them if I got them free unless I was paid to
they look like a dog's face
For when you have been endowed with hoofs instead of feet
