I remember when I was in HS and my obsession was to dunk a basketball on a 10 foot rim. By age 15-16 I could touch the rim but couldn't dunk. Starting at 16, I bought any vertical jumping program I found appealing in Slam Magazine. I got the Jumpsoles. The workout logs by Bill Heid. And by my Junior year, I could dunk and did dunk a pickle ball. Not a regulation sized basketball but still proud I got my palm above the rim. What does this have to do with the Adidas Crazy 8s? I accomplished that pickle ball feat while wearing those shoes. I felt so 😤😤😤😤 that day. I am 44 years old today but believe it or not. I am trying to jump as high as possible. Just like in HS.
I remember getting those fall of Junior year of HS (1997-98 school year). They cost $100 plus tax back in 97. Later in november, I went out for basketball tryouts and failed to make the varsity. I was relegated to the C/JV teams and I was the most fresh upper classman in those lower tier teams.
The logo is FEET YOU WEAR. still got OG pair of these with the 8 branding on them. Copped this pair just to have both, i know my og pair is eventually gonna start coming apart.
Your video scored me the crazy 8s!! I've been wanting retro crazy 8s for years. Didn't know they were dropping! As soon as I read your title, I paused the video and shot over to foot locker and finish line. Both their sites was all messed up so I happily paid more at Champs to get them. I wish they had the goofy foot guy on them.
The face on the tongue is the logo of the "Feet Your Wear" technology which was not owned by Adidas. The thing that irritates me about that logo is that the original Crazy 8 (original name: Adidas KB8) had the number 8 at that spot.
I've been waiting 27 years for Adidas to release these shoes again 😂 i bought them today 👌👌 these shoes bring so many great memories, i had the originals in 98 , I bought them used from my friend and I loved them, great looking shoes and very comfortable 👌
Happy birthday I promise your day went identical to mines yesterday was my birthday as well while I was asleep I grabbed my phone an saw the Krazy 8s release date got changed from 8/26 to 8/15 an the rest was history these had to come home
@jasonramit4736 I’m Sure the quality on the older pairs is pretty good though right? The quality on the 2023 pair is not bad either but it’s something about those older models that’s just damn good!
I think if you’re playing ball in them then maybe a half size up. I know some people have gone half a size up in general. If you can I’d say try them on first before making a final decision.
@trishulvijayanand1440 I know everyone’s feet are different but I went true to size. Definitely lifestyle wear for me. No plans on playing ball in them.
I got mine true to size and they feel fine but I know some are going up half a size. If you can I’d say try them on first to see how it feels on your foot.
@@junfrick79 yea went to the mall and tried them on...tts was a little short in length but they fit ...but yea half size up for causal...I don't play ball so I got no opinion there lol
