In addition to adidas' two lightest footwear in two other sports, football (adiZero 5-star cleat) and soccer (F50 adiZero cleat), comes the 'lightest basketball shoe ever', the adidas adiZero Crazy Light. How light is this shoe? The shoe is 9.8 ounces which is 2 ounces lighter than the Nike Zoom Kobe V and Nike Zoom Kobe VI.
“No other basketball shoe compares to the new adiZero Crazy Light and it’s a shoe that will revolutionize the game,” said Lawrence Norman, adidas Vice President of Global Basketball.
“The ultra lightweight design is built for players who want to be faster, jump higher and perform better on the court.." [NK]
Derrick Rose and other adidas brand members will debut this shoe in the 2011 NBA Playoffs.
“Lighter footwear makes you faster and speed dominates on the basketball court," said Derrick Rose, two-time NBA All-Star of the top-seeded Chicago Bulls. “The adiZero Crazy Light is the lightest basketball shoe I’ve ever worn and it will no doubt make me faster on the court for our playoff run.” adidas adiZero Crazy Light will be released on June 3rd in four colorways for $130.
