Honoring the time when a young Kobe Bryant took home the 1997 Slam Dunk title during the contest’s finals, adidas reveals a couple of colors in the same shoe that was sported on court that night by the Lakers rookie star. After dunking his way into the finals and then topping things off with a wild between-the-legs jam to end it all, Kobe stole the show while wearing a Lakers colored version in the EQT Elevation. Freshly rebranded as the adidas Crazy 97 for 2013 and back in the same purple/black/white colorway worn by Kobe that night, the classic kick returns in original form, along with a second red/black/blue 76ers inspired color combo honoring Bryant’s birthplace of Philadelphia. Bring it back to the Black Mamba’s first year as a Laker in these two adidas tribute styles, both available right now at Footlocker.
