Let me start off by saying that just because you're wearing a certain high-end brand of performance footwear would result in an injury. Athletes from Nike, Converse, Adidas, Reebok, Under Armour, etc. have all been injured wearing the latest technology. It's pretty stupid to say otherwise especially if you're referring to the oldest and most established brand in the world. Of course there are better products that would prevent you from getting certain injuries and at the same time there are certain injuries that cannot be prevented no matter what you do. [/rant]

Now, Adidas has already launched its most technologically advanced sneaker to date; the Adidas Crazy Quick. This shoe carries on the fan favorite technology found on the original 90's Feet You Wear movement and takes it to new heights. The revolutionary sneaker uses zonal pods in the midsole designed to mimic your natural foot movement while protecting it from the rigors of a basketball game. I guess the newest part of the shoe that the will surprise you is the use of TechFit as the upper. It has been used in training shoes before but never on a basketball shoe. This basically gets the idea from the Kobe 8 that used engineered mesh only this time, the entire shoe is covered. Pretty weird but after trying it on, I have to say that it does the job of securing your foot while keeping you comfortable and blister free. I've tried tons of basketball shoes from Adidas but I think this one could be their best yet.

 "From making explosive cuts into the lane, grabbing a loose ball or being a lock-down defender, quick is the key to elevating to the next level,” said Crazyquick designer Robbie Fuller, adidas advanced footwear category designer. “We designed the Crazyquick with all basketball players in mind. Every player needs to be quick on the court and this shoe helps deliver that benefit"
 The CrazyQuick is available now in all Adidas concept stores for only 7,995. I suggest you keep an eye out for the limited release of the "Iridescent" Crazy Quick pictured below:
