Sneaker Watch // adidas Basketball - Crazy 8 Reloaded

March 3rd 2013 | 88 comments

words // Brandon Richard

Taking a look back at the last week of adidas Basketball in the NBA, you'll notice that the classic Crazy 8 is back in a big way. After quietly being re-released in February, the model was rocked on the hardwood by several 3-Stripe athletes, including four-time Rookie of the Month Damian Lillard. Dame laced up the popular University Red colorway when the Blazers hosted the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday. Other Crazy 8 wearers included Chicago's Jimmy Butler, New York's Iman Shumpert and Phoenix's Wesley Matthews.

Speaking of comebacks, Derrick Rose continues to make progress in his rehabilitation. Not only is Chicago's floor general running through regular practices, but he was seen throwing down dunks in his Rose 3.5 signature shoe on several occasions this past week. Will we see Rose back in the Bulls' lineup before the season ends?

Even though Derrick is still out of action, the Rose 3.5 is seeing plenty of action on the court. The Memphis Grizzlies' adidas athletes put in runs wearing the "Triple Blue" colorway, while Lillard, Devin Harris, Matt Barnes and Harrison Barnes have opted for other styles.

What other adidas hoop shoes made it to the floor this past week? Find out in today's NBA Sneaker Watch.

The Adidas Rose 3.5 "Triple Blue" and "The Spark" are sick, and the Adidas Crazy 8s are starting to grow on me
