There has been a lot of excitement in the sneaker world surrounding the resurgence of the signature sneaker line of Kobe Bryant. Unfortunately, the vast majority of fans have been unable to purchase the limited edition kicks.

However, before Bryant took on the moniker of the "Black Mamba" during the latter half of his career, he spent his formative years with adidas. In a short amount of time, Bryant and the German company created basketball shoes that have proven to stand the test of time.

Of course, Bryant left adidas in 2003. But his retro sneakers live on in new and original colorways. Luckily for online shoppers, three colorways of the adidas Crazy 1 are available at a discount on the adidas website. Below is everything fans must know about the old-school hoop shoes.

A detailed look at Kobe Bryant's adidas sneakers.

The adidas Crazy 1 was originally called the adidas "The Kobe" upon its launch in 2000. After Bryant left the company, the shoe was rebranded and re-rereleased periodically over the past two decades. 

Despite being almost a quarter-century old, the shoes still look futuristic. Even better, the Los Angeles Lakers colorways currently available online fit the model perfectly. For those wondering, the shoes are still playable. The adidas Crazy 1 is designed for dynamic movement with a Torsion System and a hardwood-gripping rubber outsole. 

There will be a lot more of Bryant's retro sneakers released over the coming year, but it is not every day fans get a chance to buy a pair of the iconic basketball shoes at a discount. Follow FanNationKicks.com for all your footwear news.
