Nothing is certain or official yet, but if this is the next adidas Crazy Explosive Primeknit we’re pretty hyped.
Is it just me or does that Primeknit look textured from the forefoot to the heel? The lacing system is similar to the first Crazy Explosive but with one additional lace loop. The entire silhouette has been thinned down, and this shoe is a great example of the minimalism adidas has been striving for.
From what we can tell, the collar and upper look to be all one Primeknit piece. Additionally, the same TPU-wrapped Boost tooling is present, albeit with some aesthetic changes.
Multiple leakers and rumors are saying the next CE should land for FW17, so be prepared this summer. We’ll update you as more information becomes available.
If this is the upcoming adidas Crazy Explosive refresh, what do you think? The first CE was a great success *Borat voice* so we’re excited for what the Three Stripes brand serves next. I also think these have the potential for lifestyle/streetwear appeal.

These look nice (Borat voice). Adidas is still on a roll. The primeknit looks really nice on these.
Primeknit looks LIT on these
Super dope!
And the traction pattern looks aggressive, future cop!
OK… These look TOUGH!
Agreed.
These look better than the first.
They look better, aesthetically, than the first ones, but I’m not a fan of sock-like ankles on any shoe. I think they’re ugly, and they don’t really do much for performance. Still, they seem like they’ll play similar to last year’s, so they should be great on court.
Doesn’t look like they fixed the problem that the first one had (the outsole).
The upper really look like the 2016 Hyperdunk Flyknits to me, except for a shorter ankle collar , and heel counter.
I think the fit will be even better due to the extra eyelets(!)These look dope, hope they’d drop soon so that they go On sale before the next school season. I’m not sure, but it looks like the outside might be semi-solid. I love the sleeker look of these
whoa, that uncaged UB sock collar, lovin’ it
These look so good!!! Very excited for these
Extra loop was the main demand and the tooling very much is welcome to stay virtually the same.
I’m not sure how I feel about sock uppers. Hate it on my UB uncaged, but then again that has a joke lacing system.
I love my black pk ce and play in them all the time. These look like they will be just as nice except for the ankle sock, it does nothing and i think they look trashy with crew socks. My only worries will be ankle support just based on the image.
The early leaks of the d rose 8 look better imo but we will have to wait and see what’s official obviously.
DAMN!
Oh cmon…..I rock with Adidas but this looks like the same exact thing as Nike’s elite hyperdunk……Not feeling it…I expect better than this from y’all, Adidas
Except every brand is now doing sock shoes so I don’t agree — oh, and Flyknit can’t even step to Primeknit lol
that and the flywire. I hated flywire. also the heel counter on the HD’s are freakin hideous.
good point. but personally, I find these better looking and made compared to the Nike HD.
it’s not going to be the same as the elite hyperdunk, because that piece of junk was basically a big piece of plastic with flyknit on top, i trust that this primeknit upper is going to come correct…also, BOOST
*high pitched girl scream when meeting Justin Bieber*
This is legit
That’s what I’m talking about! Downside we performance junkies will compete with fashion focused resellers. Hope i can cop before they’re game for resellers.
i doubt hypebeasts are going to fiend for these, unless kanye rocks them (like the time he rocked those white lillard 2 boosts, and they started flying off shelves all of a sudden)
I hope this is just one version/cut. I’m interested when they come with a mid and solid outsole.
