adidas Just Dropped A Poor Mans Version Of The NMD


There’s no denying that the adidas NMD series is one of the strongest offerings from any brand, but adidas is tinkering with the Boost and Primeknit offering for an everyman’s version known as the adidas X PLR.

The slip-on upper features numerous panels that can be directly traced back to the adidas NMD, from the heel to the synthetic overlay featuring three stripe branding. This “Core Black” colorway skips out on the Boost midsole for a simpler, more cost-effective mold while a breathable mesh upper adds ventilation without cutting back on the sleek silhouette inspired by the NMD. What do you think of the model? Check out more photos below and grab your pair today from select retailers like Titolo.

The new hit signature shoe for James harden goes into stealth mode with this new “Black Ops” colorway for the adidas Harden Vol. 1.

adidas-nmd-og-re-release-pushed-back-1

It was around this time one year ago that adidas decided to introduce the world to the adidas NMD. The first colorway that released was this Black, White, Red and Blue version you see above.

An anonymous source has let it be known that the OG colorway will still be releasing, but not this month. The latest info now states that the shoe will re-release on January 14th, which is only a month away so we won’t have to wait that much longer. Are you excited for this drop?

I can’t believe it’s been close to a year since these released. It would have been dope had they released these exactly on the 1 year anniversary. Regardless of when they do drop, I’m pretty sure fan are pumped to get another shot at these.

Miami Art Basel occurred last weekend and to celebrate the international art affair, soccer lifestyle blog, Kicks to the Pitch, joined forces with adidas soccer for another event that united art and soccer fans alike with the COPA BASEL: THE FACE-OFF.

Essentially celebrating all things Copa, the event showcased new products while also highlighting the Copa 17 Red Limit boot from adidas Soccer plus a weekend full of art, customization and charity.

With additional support by EA Sports and Jason Markk, COPA BAEL kicked off last Saturday, December 3, 2016 at The Tango Space. The invite-only experience featured music by Just Blaze and Safe Stadick, drinks provided by Heineken and a two-team soccer face-off led by footwear artisans Shoe Surgeon leading SRGN FC and Jester leading Red Ribbon Recon FC.

Both artisans created custom soccer boots with adidas? most popular silhouettes for their teams consisting of music producer Just Blaze, former NFL star wide receiver Chad “OchoCinco” Johnson, creative artists Naturel and amuse126, sneaker designer John Geiger, fitness model Tamra Dae, photographer Shayna Batya and more.

Jester created a mash-up of the Copa Mundial soccer cleat x AlphaBounce, while Shoe Surgeon revealed the Copa Mundial x D. Rose.

A Meet & Greet Media Day, where fans and media had an opportunity to come and chat with both teams, took place on Sunday, December 4th. This event was open to anyone able to find special invitation soccer balls that were spread throughout Miami during Art Basel Week.

Those who found it also received a free, limited edition COPA BASEL soccer jersey in exchange for unworn adidas soccer boots or sneakers, with proceeds going to Soles4Souls, a non-profit global social enterprise committed to fighting poverty through the collection and distribution of shoes and clothing.

What a surprise (not really), a new colorway of the adidas NMD XR1. Joining the recent Tan/Linen colorway that we took a look at earlier this week, this new NMD XR1 also uses a hue that is very popular during this time of the year.

Blue Hues Take Care Of This adidas Originals Xplr

Adidas Originals Xplr 1 Adidas Originals Xplr 2 adidas-originals-xplr-dark-blue-1

The adidas Originals Xplr will soon arrive stateside in a brand new colorway. This time around the shoe opts for a clean Blue tonal upper sitting on top of a White sole. If you’re not too familiar with this model, it boasts similar traits we’re used to seeing on today’s sleek runner-type silhouettes.

The adidas Originals Xplr comes with an upper constructed out of synthetic leather overlays accompanying the mesh build upper. Additional synthetic leather is found on both the heel and tongue tag. The shoe’s toggle-assisted lacing system is without a doubt the most unique feature on the shoe. The all-Blue upper is then placed on top of a White foam sole to create some nice overall contrast. Out now, find these at international retailers and expect them to drop stateside in the near future.

I dig it. It’s simple and versatile and the colorway is one of my favorites. I’m just curious to see how it does in the comfort department.

adidas And Kris Bryant Just Announced A Multiyear Partnership Extension

MVP_KrisBryant_signs_adidas_partnership_extension MVP_KrisBryant_adidas_NA_President_MarkKing_2 MVP_KrisBryant_adidas_NA_President_MarkKing_1

MLB NL MVP Kris Bryant and adidas just announced a multiyear partnership extension. This announcement means that Bryant will continue to play a leading role in brand marketing campaigns as well as with collaborations on future baseball cleats and accessories.

“It’s a phenomenal time to be partnered with adidas with all the energy and momentum that the brand has right now,” said Bryant. “adidas embraced me as part of the family from the start. It’s been a great collaboration and we share a vision for creating the future.”

With Bryant being only 24 years old and already considered one of the best player in the world, adidas has something special in store with him, that why the extension appeared to be a no-brainer.

“Kris Bryant is an incredible player,” said Mark King, adidas Group North America president. “What I love about him is just how humble and appreciative he is to be playing the game of baseball. In so many ways, he’s just a regular kid who loves talking about little league games and hitting homeruns off his dad. There are a lot of people with talent out there, but they don’t hit 26 homeruns as a rookie, become MVP and lead their team to a World Series win after a more than 100-year drought. Kris is creating history right before our eyes and what sets him apart is his love of the game and mindset. Yes, there’s pressure he feels, but for him it’s fun and enjoyable and he believes he can accomplish great things. His expectation is far greater than anything anyone else can put on him and he’s only at the beginning of his career. We’re so proud to call Kris part of our family. He is the future of baseball.”

Although Bryant is still a young player in the MLB, he’s been doing his thing for years now. In just four consecutive years, Bryant became the first player in history to win College Player of the Year, Minor League Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year and National League MVP in successive seasons.

“At 23, Kris Bryant is an MVP and World Champion,” said Scott Boras, Bryant’s agent. “It was a privilege to work with adidas to create a historic agreement between two partners in excellence.”
