Kobe and adidas first collaborated on the adidas Crazy IIInfinity "Silver Metallic," but Kobe departed adidas in 2002 to join Nike. The futuristic zip fastening, a nod to the legendary Kobe 3, is the most noticeable element. Additionally, the shoe's center has a 'Silver Metallic' rubber outsole, with a black textile top. The adidas Crazy IIInfinity's heel and the side of the shoe, where the outsole overlaps, both have repeating 3-Stripes.
