The adidas Crazy 2 “USA” will return in June 2025. Originally known as the Kobe 2 “USA,” the shoes were a tribute to those affected by the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
adidas Basketball will dig into the archives to bring back a classic Kobe, the adidas Kobe 2, now known as the Crazy 2. The pair returning is the “USA” iteration, which has received a lot of talk amongst the sneaker community. Kobe Bryant wore this pair on October 30, 2001, during the Los Angeles Lakers’ season opener against the Trail Blazers. The pair was a tribute to those affected by the 9/11 terrorist attacks. For fans of the pair, the “USA” Crazy 2 will return in Summer 2026.
Fans of Kobe Bryant’s signature line have a love/hate relationship with the model. Some like the pair, while others say it’s one of his worst. Ultimately, this was the final model Bryant released with adidas. He would wind up paying millions of dollars to get out of his contract with the three stripes brand. Eventually, after his sneaker free agency, he would sign with Nike.
Although it wasn’t successful upon its initial debut, the adidas Crazy 2 is a different story now. Recently, the brand revived the silhouette and reintroduced original colorways, selling out in most options. Since Bryant is signed to Nike, adidas had to remove any branding related to Kobe. Even so, people still recognize this pair as his.
