Last week we had the privilege of flying out to Las Vegas to attend the 2nd annual adidas Basketball LVL3 event. So what s LVL3? adidas defines adidas nmd it as the ultimate playground for the basketball creator. And that s exactly what it felt like when you took a step into the magnificent space.Located at The Chelsea Theater in the Cosmopolitan Hotel, adidas created a one-of-a-kind space that included a basketball court that allowed basketball players and fans alike the chance to lace up the new adidas hoops Crazy Explosive 17, practice their posterization skills at the 360-dunk cam, and improve their game through sessions with top skills trainers. There was also a MakerLab area where you were able to create a personalized t-shirt with your own name and number on it.

A few stars were also in attendance as we saw special adidas adicolor appearances from a few NBA guys that included James Harden, Damian Lillard, Derrick Rose, Andrew Wiggins, Jamal Murray, Marcus Smart, Thon Maker, Brandon Ingram, Kelly Oubre Jr, and Jaylen Brown.Day 1When I landed in Vegas I was picked up at the airport and taken to the Cosmopolitan Hotel where I checked in and took the elevator up to my room on the 41st floor. When I opened the door I was greeted to a few surprises on my bed which included some adidas athletic apparel, a Here To Create Kit (more on that later), and the adidas Harden LS Sweet Life which so just happened to release that very same day. There was no time to waste as an hour after I arrived I headed downstairs to the Chelsea Theater where all of the media invitees were greeted with our own pair of the adidas Crazy Explosive 2017 to weartest.

Everyone laced up the sneakers and we went on to run a few basketball drills with the direction of an instructor and then played a few pick-up games. Day 1 concluded with a pool party at The Wynn.Day 2On day 2 of LVL3 we had the opportunity to interview Alex Zerzan, Global Product Manager for adidas Basketball.
