Why doesn't Adidas STOP PLAYING and retro these? They can release the Crazy 8's a million times but never want to drop Kobe's dunk contest shoe? I'd cop these in all 3 OG colorways and maybe even leave room for a red D-Rose version. C'mon Adidas!

I don't need the technology, just the look.

 Didn't the Crazy 8 have the same tech, and they scrapped it for the retro, which is why they aren't as comfortable as the OG's? 
 
@cocotaso1, @Cubby12345

It's right, Crazy 8(KB 8 ), Top Ten 2000, Real/Pro Deal, Crazy Quiks(KB8 III) - had originally FYW tech, still they were retroed. I have all of those 4 retros, they feel great.
I just pray Adidas retroes EQT Elevation one day. I'd buy 20 pairs I think

. They are the holy grail for me, the nicest shoes ever. They bring up great memories, when I used to play bb during college and a few classmates had these as well as other dope EQT line bb shoes.
If someone at Adidas sees maybe it should consider retroing the EQT Elevation, KB8 II, Top Ten 2010> Maybe some of the EQT outdoor line of the 95-2000 Like Adidas Arooga, Adidas Adventure Claw... which are still great.
I do not get why they continue to throw all those mediocre vintage inspired models from Adidas Originals line as well as garbage colorways of retro models that just sit on the shelves even during the sales. Is it so difficult to retro the models exposed above, even a quick-strike? There are people ready to pay a premium price for those.

There are lots of NT members that have large collections of sneakers and if we were to think most of them are probably worn casually. Personally almost all of my collection (around 40 pairs) is made up of retro models. I have some newer models(from last 5-6 years) but to be honest most of the late ones are looking too unspectacular to be worn casually(for ex Kobe 4,5,6,7 that otherwise are excellent performers).

why wouldnt they? they were allowed to retro the original kb8, and these have a different name. i have said it million times, that they should retro these. other than the KB8's these are the sickest shoes adidas has put out. even compared to the shoes Rose wears.

No question. All the "Feet You Wear" #!%% was mega popular in my neighborhood at the time.
 
they really need to retro these... i need atleast 2 pairs each colorway....

BONUS: my OG EQT elevations. just recently traded my vnds blk pair for a DS OG FLINTS. good thing i still got my other DS blk pair. AND NO, none are for sale.....
 
Question, I thought they still used the same Feet You Wear technology on all the Retro Adidas like Crazy 8's, they just don't call it Feet You Wear anymore?
 
the guy that designed FTW actually owns the name. he no longer works for adidas, so i guess the name is out of the question.
 
Just wanted to bump this thread for updates. Any info? We're almost a year from the last post and no retro yet!
