The rocky relationship between Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard as Laker teammates resulted in the big man leaving Los Angeles for greener pastures in Houston. Since Howard's departure, he and his former running mate haven't exactly patched things up, and even got into a heated argument during a game last October. But Howard has another split looming — this one with his sneaker brand adidas, who may be trolling "Superman" on his way out.

Seen here in detail is Howard's very own colorway of the adidas Crazy 8, formerly Bryant's first signature shoe the KB8. The shoe plays on Howard's nickname with a Man-of-Steel inspired palette, along with a Superman logo-style patch on the tongue.

By the looks of the photos, this Crazy 8 will only be releasing in kids' sizes, though an actual date is unknown at the moment. And if he really is on his way to PEAK, this may end up being the last ever adidas Howard shoe.
