This weekend’s edition of Buy, Pass, Wait feels like the calm before the storm. Despite Nike bowing out of this year’s All-Star festivities, Jordan Brand will be there next weekend with a bevy of big releases and you can bet adidas Basketball will representing for their superstars as well. So to get us ready for the incoming slate of big February drops, we’ve got a new yet familiar look for the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2, the surprisingly pricy Air Jordan 5, Jordan Brand’s BHM offerings and much more.

adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Black Red

Juan Martinez, Editor-In-Chief: (BUY) Kanye has been relatively quiet by Kanye standards about Kanye things (especially Trump-related stuff although that seems to have blown over) Something about the contrast between the plain black Primeknit upper and the red Yeezy Supply branding works for me in a way that the Pirate Black did not. I still wish the branding was a little bit better and wasn’t reversed in some sort of attempt to be cool and hip, but I’ve been surprised by how much I like the 350 V2. Not enough to make a few phone calls to hopefully secure every pair, but enough that I might actually like them over the V1. Blasphemy, I know, but Belugas though…

Renz Ofiaza, News: (BUY) Try to at retail. I like this version more than than last year’s black/red combo and the return of the heel tab is a better look for me.

Juan Carrillo, News: (PASS) Too plain. Need some more variety in this model’s colorways. What is that, 4 straight Black colorways on the 350? Nah, man.

Andres Carrillo, News: (PASS) This is probably the worst colorway of the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 yet. An all-black upper with a tiny bit of red, really? The hype over these shoes is so crazy that the need for creativity is probably gone already. adidas and Kanye know that any colorway they put out will sell out instantly so it feels to me like they’re just getting lazy.

Air Jordan 5 Take Flight

EIC Juan: (PASS) I blame Nike for making me like military green sneakers all of a sudden and for $190, this would totally be a must cop. But for $400? Hell naw, dude…

Renz: (BUY) I’m against that price tag, although, the refined premium makeover, plus the overall colorway and materials are just a winner for me. I guess I’m biased, haha.

News Juan: (PASS) To be quite honest, I don’t even think I’d buy a pair if they were $190 opposed to $400. For some reason, I just don’t envision premium when I look at the shoe. It may look different in person, but still, $400 is too much for this Jordan 5. I doubt it sells out and I would not be surprised if they get marked down closer to $250 in a couple on months.

Andres: (PASS) I refuse to pay anything over $190 (the regular retail price) for a pair of Jordan 5s. Why is Jordan Brand charging $400 for these again? For the extra box and dust bag? Nah bruh, I’m good. Easy pass for me.

Nike LeBron 14 Chase Down

EIC Juan: (WAIT) After the colorways I created in NBA 2K17 honestly failed to come up with something super hot, I might grab this clean pair. I think people got their fill of the 14s when the limited Out Of Nowhere colorway dropped so this shouldn’t be that hard to see dropping in price in a few weeks.

Renz: (WAIT) Surely it’s an automatic classic years from now, especially in this timeless colorway. I’m not too tempted in trying to acquire it though.

Pacers Fan Juan:(PASS) Very simple and versatile colorway of the LeBron 14. I consider myself a fan of this LeBron model but just not right now since the gave my Pacers an L this past Wednesday. I’ll just wait for the Nike PG 1 to drop. Ha.

Andres: (PASS) Nike should have given a proper release to the “Out of Nowhere” colorway and people would have gotten more excited. The black upper with the grey/silver accents on this pair make the shoe look too plain. I think the LeBron 14 has potential, but this colorway doesn’t show that.

Jordan Brand BHM Collection

EIC Juan: (Jordan Trunner LX BHM) I have a special place in my heart for Trunner, especially the Trunner Bubble that had a recall, so I’m happy to see the line come back hopefully sans the recall.

Renz: (Air Jordan 1 BHM) Just because it’s a timeless model and the removable patches make it much more dynamic. Although, I’ll also consider the Trunner LX, since my older age palette is kicking in.

News Juan: (Air Jordan 1 BHM) Albeit, I don’t like the velcro branding, it’s still a good look when put together. I’d just be to paranoid wearing them only to find out that one of the velcro Swooshes fell off from the shoe and now I’m left with an all-black Jordan 1, which is something I definitely don’t want.

Andres: (Air Jordan 1 GS BHM) The combination of black and gold is (almost) always a winner and it definitely looks good on the Jordan 1. That men’s pair needs more gold. Overall I think the collection could have been better. There should have been another retro added here.

adidas Superstar Boost

EIC Juan: (WAIT) Look, I thought putting Flyknit on an Air Force 1 was a desperate call for attention until I tried them on and was blown away by how comfortable they were. Lightning can strike twice with Boost on the iconic Superstar silhouette, but I still need to try them on first before biting.

Renz: (WAIT) I’m sure the addition of the new tech makes the sneaker much more comfortable. The colorways coming out now are pretty solid, but, I’m looking forward to more iterations.

News Juan: (WAIT) It’s cool to see this model get the Boost treatment but I’d rather wait for a couple of reasons. 1. I don’t see these selling out instantly. 2. I’d rather wait for adidas to release a version that exposes all of the Boost. 3. I’d rather wait even more and wait until adidas drops a Superstar with both Boost and Primeknit. Once that releases, I’m all in.

Andres: (PASS) adidas Superstar + Boost technology sounds like a match made in heaven. However I don’t think that adidas executed the idea properly. The exposed Boost on the midsole throws everything off for me. It looks like someone took the shoe and cut a piece off the midsole and now you’re left walking around with a busted shoe. Hopefully adidas can fix it and conceal that Boost completely or find a way to make it look better. There’s still hope…I think.

Previously offered in a color block theme, the adidas D Lillard 3 — Damian Lillard’s third signature basketball sneaker — is treated in monochromatic finish for its latest rendition this year.

Essentially draped in black across its seamless FUSEDMESH upper designed with areas of support and stretch to help ensure a custom fit that adapts to every move, the sneaker’s open collar allows easy entry, while it’s further defined by a multiple lacing paneled construction for a more personalized look. Finally, subtle grey details located on the tongue and midsole unit finish off the overall profile.

Priced at $115, you can find this pair at select adidas retailers very soon.

A variety of unreleased Pharrell x adidas NMD HU colorways has been seen on Pharrell Williams in the past, and now, another exclusive pair is seen on the elite artist.

This time draped in tan, the sleek model is accentuated with blue laces, an orange lacing cage system and matching EVA inserts in the heel. Additionally, the sneaker’s defining component with its traditional text on the upper is replaced with what seems to be “WALK” and “BREATH”. Finally, a full-length white boost sole unit finishes off the profile.

A release date has not been announced, although, stay tuned to KicksOnFire for further updates.

Additionally, a shock pink version of the silhouette with Japanese text is expected to drop as well.

The small plastic heel counter also comes in Black, while a small bit of Purple stitching lands on the heel. Tonal laces, Black Three Stripes branding and a Black rubber outsole complete the look. If you’re looking to pick up a pair, you won’t have to wait much longer as they’re set to release on February 16th.

kolor once again links up with adidas to collaborate on yet another Boost model. And just like past release you can expect a lot of color on this collab known as the kolor x adidas Response Trail Boost.

Both pairs from the kolor x adidas Response Trail Boost collab come in dressed in Grey bases offset by the bold colors placed throughout. These colors include Aqua, Teal, Fuchsia Flash and Energy Orange. Putting the color on the neoprene lining definitely gives both versions a nice pop to them. Couple it with the Boost tech on the sole and this will sure be one of the most comfortable and flashy trail sneakers you will ever purchase. Both pairs are now up for grabs from select retailers for $220.

The NFL season is officially over, but that won’t stop adidas from creating and releasing new cleats. After the release of their new Uncaged Cheetah adizero 5-Star 40 cleats earlier this week, the three stripes returns with a PE cleat designed for Von Miller.

Seen above, the Uncaged Shark FREAK x KEVLAR cleats are inspired by Miller’s relentless style of play and unique blend of speed and power. This unique cleat comes with a high-definition, digitally printed sharkskin and shark tooth design on the lightweight, flexible SPRINTSKIN upper that features KEVLAR woven into it for elite performance and added durability. Additional details include an anatomical lacing system for a comfortable lockdown feel, and an all-new RAZORFRAME sole that features strategically placed SPRINTSTUDS and a new torsion system with forefoot carbonfiber.

If you’d like to add this intimidating pair of cleats to your football workouts then you can purchase your pair now at adidas.com, eastbay.com, and dickssportinggoods.com for $130.

What you see above is the Sneaker Politics x adidas Consortium Gazelle Primeknit. This new collab between the retailer and adidas also serves as a way to celebrate the grand opening of the new Sneaker Politics retailers located in (you guessed it) New Orleans.

Taking the festive route, the Sneaker Politics x adidas Consortium Gazelle Primeknit is inspired by none other that Mardi Gras. This is done by adding nice color accents to the Primeknit constructed upper. The colors and what the represent are as follows: Purple (for justice), Green (for faith), and Gold (for power) are all features on the woven cream-based upper. Adding a touch of lux is the premium suede noted throughout. Also worth mentioning is the Primeknit’s new fleece-backed construction which matches up very nicely with the gum sole unit. Other notable features on the shoe include the Gold lace tips, the laces that match with the colors on the upper and the nice and subtle dual branding on the tongue pull tabs. Want a pair? The Sneaker Politics x adidas Consortium Gazelle Primeknit will release at all three Louisiana locations as well as online at sneakerpolitics.com on Saturday, February 18th for the retail price of $140.

Up next for the adidas Gazelle is this brand new rendition that has the model’s upper draped in a clean Legend Ink colorway. Let’s get a closer look and see what else this colorway has to offer.

As stated above, the adidas Gazelle comes with a Legend Ink upper constructed out of a nice soft suede. The suede is then paired up with hits of leather found on the Three Stripes and heel done in a bold Energy Blue colorway. Cleaning things up a bit is the White placed on the sole unit and the Gold Gazelle branding on the panels. Trefoil branding on the tongue and heel and a pair of tonal laces complete the look. Get a good look at the shoe above and just know that you can now find them at select international retailers for $105.

If you’re after that new adidas Ultra Boost 3.0 with silver Boost and fall short, there’s a very formidable alternative. The Pure Boost is also dropping in its own colorway with metallic silver Boost foam on the midsole with a black and silver knit upper to match. Actually releasing on the same day as the second drop of the Ultra Boost 3.0 as well as the silver Ultra Boost Uncaged, the “Silver Pack” is looking way better than the initial version released during halftime of the Super Bowl that only contained the Ultra Boost and Ultra Boost cleat. Expect all three models (it looks like the cleats are staying exclusive to Super Bowl Sunday) at select adidas retailers and adidas.com on February 16th.

Following duck camo variations, the adidas Tubular Invader Strap is revealed in another new neutral theme, this time consisting of trace cargo.

While the silhouette evokes a budget variation of the popular Yeezy Boost 750 with its distinctive strap on the mid-foot, the sneaker dons a premium build with the defining tone essentially covering the majority of its suede upper.

In addition, the heel section and signature three stripe motif on its side panels are rendered in beige croc-skin to exude more luxe appeal, as well as perfectly complementing its aesthetic. Finally, a branded heel strap and full-length translucent rubber sole unit finishes off the design.

Select adidas retailers overseas have this pair available now, although, a stateside release is imminent.
