The gap between today’s performance models and yesterday’s classics is bridged with the new adidas “93 Pack.” The pack revisits Antoine Walker’s Real Deal from 1997 and Tracy McGrady’s TMAC 1 signature shoe, while also highlighting two of today’s top performers in the Crazy Light 2 and Crazy Fast.
All shoes are styled in Joy Blue with black, orange and yellow accents. 90s-inspired graffiti prints, splatter and speckles give each shoe a throwback look.
The Real Deal is a part of adidas’ famed “Feet You Wear” range that was based on natural motion, while the TMAC 1 represents the brand’s aerodynamic speed initiative from the early 2000s. Speed is the name of the game with the Crazy Fast and the Crazy Light 2 is the lightest basketball shoe ever.
Fresh for the warmer weather, these “93 Pack” styles are available here now.

In celebration of Chinese New Year, adidas Basketball introduces a new footwear collection paying homage to the “Year of the Snake.” The three-shoe pack includes the Rose 3.5, Tracy McGrady’s TMAC 1 and the adizero Crazy Light 2.
The “Year of the Snake” Rose 3.5 features a black synthetic SprintWeb upper with a textured scale pattern to represent a snake’s detailed skin. SprintFrame is done in chrome and metallic gold hits help the shoe stand out on the court.
With Tracy McGrady currently playing for the CBA’s Qingdao Eagles, the TMAC 1 is an appropriate selection for the collection. The “Year of the Snake” TMAC 1 has a metallic upper and perforated toebox for an eye-catching look.
Lastly, the lightweight adizero Crazy Light 2 sports a scaled upper and shades of gold and turquoise. SprintWeb and SprintFrame enhance performance.
All three of these celebratory adidas basketball shoes are available now.
