DESIGN STORY: The shoe is hot
Clear, simple and functional. That is the
result of the
Co-operation between adidas and Audi: " The Kobe ".
The characteristic adidas technology was transferred to the shoe and so became " The Kobe " an incomparable adidas product. In November
1999 Kobe led the color choice of the Design team and tried on the
first pair. At the end of April 2000 the last Design decisions
were made. The first shoe, which was created together by adidas and
Audi, was born.
Kobe is ecstatic of the new adidas: " the shoe is
absolutely hot. It is super easy and gives me a perfect stop. It is
smooth and soft. It is simply different. I love it and am crazy about it. "
