Adidas unveils ‘Crazy Light’ basketball shoe

MANILA—There’s no defying the rule of Physics: the lighter you are, the faster you become.

Adidas recently launched the new adiZero Crazy Light, the lightest kicks in basketball weighing at just 9.8 ounces, at the Moro Lorenzo Sports Complex of the Ateneo de Manila University.

The adiZero Crazy Light, first put to test in the hardwood by NBA MVP Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls, features revolutionary advancements built for the ultimate hoops experience.

The country’s best players in both the college ranks and the pros gathered and gave the shoes a quick feel through makeshift NBA All-star like activities.

JC Intal, Enrico Villanueva and Willy Wilson of the crowd-darling Barangay Ginebra were also present along with Mike Silungan of UP and Alex Nuyles of Adamson among a handful of other big-name cagers.
