Adidas’ patented Boost technology they unveiled last summer is already buffering 2015 NBA Rookie of the Year, Andrew Wiggins. Today, Adidas revealed the Andrew Wiggins Crazylight Boost 2015 “Away” PE.
The Crazylight Boost 2015 Away silhouette has a modified Primeknit upper that features deep blue maple leaves, the leaf of Canada, Wiggins’ native land. The upper features a synthetic leather collar and his initials “AW” on tongue resplendent in maple leaves as well.
The Crazylight Boost 2015 is the first basketball shoe with Primeknit upper for comfort and augmented ventilation, so your feet aren’t getting musty. It also features 13 percent more #BOOST for peak energy return.
It’s been a big day for Adidas, and another Wiggins-Inspired Crazylight Boost sneaker is sure to increase their exposure, especially if he follows up his rookie season with the T’Wolves by improving even more.
He wasn’t worth the $180 million prognosticators were throwing around before he played in Lawrence for a year, but when they still decided to offer him a rookie record — somewhere in the vicinity of $2 million a year — shoe deal anyway, it paid off when he won ROY honors in his inaugural season.
Now, they can add his name to their premier Crazylight Boost line, after poaching James Harden from Nike. As a maraschino cherry on top, Derrick Rose made it through the entire 2014-15 season and playoffs for the first time since he won the MVP in 2011.
But what do you think of the kicks?
The Crazylight Boost 2015 Andrew Wiggins road edition is available for $130 at Foot Locker and Adidas.com.
