With Nike putting in work, pushing the Kobe IV, Adidas, the NBA’s officially licensed apparel and sneaker partner has quietly dropped the Adidas Instinct Hi Los Angeles Lakers colorway.

The Instinct is an old school Adidas basketball shoe, this time, done up in a dark grey color, with the purple and gold Lakers colors mixed in nicely. The laces read “42 pts 15 reb 7 ast” which dates back to game 6 of the 1980 NBA Finals where Magic Johnson led the Lakers by playing guard, forward, and the center position, due to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar spraining his ankle in the previous game. Magic became the only player in NBA history to be named as NBA Finals MVP in his rookie season.

Lakers fans can pick up these commemorative kicks up for $100 at Adidas Originals stores and on their website.
