adidas unveils Andrew Wiggins PEs Crazylight Boost 2.5

adidas recently unveiled special player's exclusive colorways of the Crazylight Boost 2.5 in recognition of the Minnesota Timberwolves' Andrew Wiggins' steady rise to superstardom. The 20-year-old on-court play and family history were the inspiration behind the new designs, as per the adidas press release.


North Star
Using the Timberwolves' colorways and the state motto - L'Etoile du Nord or The Star of the North, the shoe is constructed with a metallic heel counter and silver detailing. It also features a black and blue Primeknit upper with seamless integration of mesh tooling and deep blue accents throughout.

Marita


Next is the "Marita" which is named after Wiggins' mother Marita Payne-Wiggins, and her success as an Olympic sprinter who helped Canada win two silver medals in the 4x100 and 4x400-meter relays in the 1984 Summer Games. They feature a silver to red gradient upper, blending Primeknit threads with forefoot mesh to deliver added breathability on the hardwood. Silver accents along the midsole, heel cap, collar lining and laces are paired with a red and white outsole for a true Canadian tribute. Gold hits to the upper’s foil treated seam and AW logo cap off the hometown exclusive.

The "North Star" and “Marita” colorways are available for Php7995 at select adidas stores and other local sports outlets.
