While the brand-new Crazy 8 Low elucidates adidas’ efforts to keep the select models in the Three Stripes Kobe Bryant line fresh, the bulk of their work in recent times has spun it into the future. Take the adidas MAD IIINFINITY, a next-century spinoff of the Crazy 1 unveiled towards the top of the year. As the futuristic silo becomes a more common sight in the adidas catalog, it’s taking on an icy all-white colorway.

A functional inversion of the very first outfit the shoe took on, blending “Core White” & “Dash Grey” across the profile. For those unfamiliar with the silhouette, the influence of Bryant’s chunky Kobe 1 is obvious, but TMac’s line also is a touchstone, lending the overlapping side panels and TPU shank. Importantly, though the design here is a fusion of Three Stripes basketball, heavy interior padding and a TPU shank ensure that the MAAD IIINFINITY is also fit for everyday, lifestyle purposes.
The adidas MAD IIINFINITY “Core White” is available now via adidas.com, retailing at $180. Direct links are included just ahead under “Where To Buy,” scroll further for official looks.
