Jeremy Lin Brings Laker Colors Back to the adidas Crazy 8

Soon, the Crazy 8 will return to Los Angeles, but on the feet of another Laker.

Though rebranded, the adidas Crazy 8 will forever be known as the original signature shoe for Kobe Bryant. The former KB8 released in 1997 and has been regularly available at retail since its first retro in 2007. Soon, the Crazy 8 will return to Los Angeles, but on the feet of another Laker.

Below is our first look at Jeremy Lin's Laker-themed Crazy 8 PE. As you may recall, a 'Rockets' colorway surfaced back in August, but we were told by adidas that the release had been changed. Instead, Lin will lace up this LA flavor, which features purple and gold accents on a white backdrop. Personalization comes in the form of Lin's signature along the ankle and a logo on the tongue.

UPDATE 11/24: The Lin Crazy 8 is available now for $110 at Finishline.
