Our First Look At The Boost Equipped adidas Originals EQT Support 93/17
By SoleInsider
What you see above is or first look at the adidas Originals EQT Support 93/17. What exactly is this new hybrid EQT model? Well, it happens to rock a similar look as EQT ADV 91/16 with one major difference, it comes with a Boost equipped sole!
Based off of the Original EQT Support 93 model, the adidas Originals EQT Support 93/17 is constructed out of a woven knit upper done in a pixelated noise pattern. Adding a luxe feel to the shoe are the premium nubuck panels and webbing-tape 3-stripes. Embroidery details and a contrasting heel unit adding add dimension to the new adidas silhouette. Tech-wise, the shoe comes with an OrthoLite® sockliner, a TPU support panel and of course, the full-length BOOST midsole unit. No release date yet but expect these to drop late this month or early January.
I love the design of the shoe. Very minimal and simple but still very noteworthy. I’m not crazy about this colorway but I’m pretty sure I’ll be getting a new colorway somewhere down the line.
adidas Partnership With Pusha T Continues To Pay Off
By SoleInsider
Today, Pusha T’s third chapter of adidas EQT released in stores today – a grey-scaled hybrid of primeknit, python skin, and Ultra Boost. For the third straight installment, the shoes were an instant sell-out (as anticipated), marking yet another successful drop for the German sportswear label and the G.O.O.D. Music president. Beyond the shoes, Pusha owns a unique vantage point as his affiliation with the brand, in terms of shoe releases, has come before, during, and after the eighteen-month uprising, so his firsthand experience in working with a company that has seen it all in such a short period of time offers us unprecedented insight into a logo that everyone is dying to rock.
Official Images Of The adidas NMD R1 Primeknit Tri-Color Pack
By SoleInsider
A whole bunch of NMDs released today, unfortunately, the ones you see above were not on the list. Known as the adidas NMD R1 Primeknit Tri-Color Pack, and still without a release date, today we get a closer look at the pack via the shoe’s official images.
The adidas NMD R1 Primeknit Tri-Color Pack comes in your choice of a Dark Grey or Light Grey Primeknit upper. Although the colors of the base is noteworthy, what really helps these stand out from the pack is the fact that the Three Stripes branding comes in a new color blocking motif. Three stripes, three different colors. The Dark Grey comes with Red, White and Blue stripes, while the Light Grey pair comes with Red, Black and Royal stripes. It also comes with international ?The Brand With The Three Stripes? wordmark on the heel tab, Black plastic heel tabs, Black or Wite pods and White Boost midsoles. No word yet on when these will drop but we’re pretty sure they will do so sooner rather than later.

Author’s Take
I’m not too fond of the tri-colored stripes, the rest of the shoe on both colorways are on point!
Earlier this year, Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure hooked up his top salespeople with pairs free of Yeezys as a way to show his appreciation and gratitude for all the hard work his employees were producing. It looks like it worked! Productivity appeared to go up when Yeezys were on the line, which is why he’s giving away free Yeezys again!
He recently took to his Twitter to let the world know he would be bringing the the reward incentive just in time for the holidays. He sent a company-wide email to inform all of his employees about the reward: ?We will identify an elite group of top-performing sales reps during the month of December. The ones who deliver the greatest number of gross activations will win a pair of Yeezys.?
Check out the tweet above where he announces the contest and his love for the sneaker people go crazy over. If you’re reading this and also a salesperson for Spring, now’s the time to get to work!
Originally seen during the early 2000s, the adidas Climacool 1 has been revived this year in a variety of new and OG colorways.
Highlighted in another classic iteration, this time flaunting a mixture of clear grey/silver metallic — the running shoe is defined by its breathable upper comprised of mesh, which provides the wearer with a temperate feeling during warm, humid days.
Tonal synthetics on the side panels via its three stripe motif and forefoot provide additional reinforcement, as it?s all supplemented atop a crisp white midsole unit and black rubber outsole.
You can purchase this pair at select adidas retailers overseas first, while a stateside release is imminent.
I barely remembered this silhouette. Most likely because I was a Nikehead. (Still am but now that I?m older, I?m more open to other brands). Anyway, I?m a fan of runners in general and it?s nice to see this model revived once again.
Dipped in classic black, the silhouette is essentially an upgraded version of its predecessor, which features a revamped primeknit upper that incorporates a new striped patterned overlay that envelops its entirety. Additionally, the distinctive boost midsole unit is slightly thicker for additional comfort, which now includes one large EVA insert in contrasting pink on the inner lateral section instead.
Retailing for $160, you can purchase this new style at select adidas retailers worldwide starting today, December 3rd.
The vibrant mint green/grey colorway is essentially inspired by the Statue of Liberty and expect to see more exclusive one-of-a-kind designs to be produced soon.
If you’re near the area, stop by the new flagship location at 565 Fifth Ave. and create your own pair.
The adidas NMD R1 has no doubt been the hottest sneaker of 2016, but it’s apparent that adidas Originals aren’t resting on their laurels for even a minute, as the shoe’s sequel is already about to launch. The NMD R2 debuts tomorrow at retail, arriving first in two Primeknit constructions covered in a bold striped motif. You’ll also notice one major design change in the R2: no “bumper” inserts on the Boost midsole on the lateral side, with only a rear bumper on the medial side. But don’t worry if you’re a fan of the first NMD, because they don’t appear to be leaving production any time soon.
Take your pick, the NMD R2 is featured in the olive/black colorway you see here, as well as a black and charcoal edition, both hitting select adidas Originals retailers tomorrow, December 3rd.
Is Pusha Ts adidas Ultra Boost EQT Being Pushed Back Until January
By SoleInsider
This weekend was supposed to bring another installment from Pusha T and adidas Originals, but that might not be the case for Europe anymore due to some reported problems with the delivery of the coveted collaboration to a number of stores. According to Instagrammer Hichem.OG, the Pusha T adidas Ultra Boost EQT release has been canceled and will now be available sometime come January 2017.
The Pusha T adidas Ultra Boost EQT will be the first Primeknit collaboration between King Push and adidas Originals, with the greyscale aesthetic utilizing contrasting fish scale panels on the forefoot and a full-length Boost midsole to add an ultra comfortable ride. That doesn’t mean that the adidas Equipment references are going away anytime soon though, as the ribbon three stripe branding returns as well as the unique lace dubraes featuring ‘King Push’ so there’s no doubt that the G.O.O.D. Music President had his hand in creating this luxurious offering.
Check out more detailed shots of the coming Pusha T adidas Ultra Boost EQT below and we’ll keep you updated on a new release date right here on Sneaker News.
This weekend is full of highly anticipated and exciting releases with one of those being the next collaboration between Pusha T and adidas Originals.
Dubbed the adidas EQT Boost King Push, this new project between the musician and the three stripes takes two of adidas’ most popular innovations, Primeknit and Boost, and places them together on the same shoe. The sneaker comes with a full Primeknit upper in gray, carpe overlays across the heel tab and toe, reflective three stripes branding and a white BOOST midsole.
You can grab you pair beginning tomorrow, December 3rd at select adidas retailers for $200.
This Black Pair Of The adidas EQT ADV 91-16 Will Begin Releasing Tomorrow
By SoleInsider
As most of you know, the adidas EQT ADV 91-16 Art Basel is not available for purchase, you can only “win” the limited and exclusive sneaker. In other words, the general public will have a hard time picking up a pair. As a consolation prize, I suggest you take a look at this new upcoming colorway dropping this weekend, the adidas EQT ADV 91-16 Black.
Just like the Art Basel version, this one also opts for a tonal aesthetic as a Black hue takes care of 98% of the shoe from head to toe. It appears to be made out of a taped mesh and neoprene combination. The ribbon Three Stripes branding appears on the paneling, while the transparent polymer eyelet & heel clip helps gives the shoe its unique look. Minimal hits of White appear on the Black adidas Torsion bar midsole by way of the Three Stripes branding. The shoe will begin releasing on December 3rd at select retailers worldwide.
adidas Samba Spezial Gets A Nice Pop By Way Of The Lime Green Hits
By SoleInsider
Looking to add some bold colors to your wardrobe this holiday season? Take a look at the latest colorway donning the upper of the adidas Samba Spezial.
The adidas Samba Spezial begins with a tonal Black leather and suede upper. The tonal and subtle look of the shoe is broken up by the hits of Lime Green noted on the heel tab and Three Stripes branding. In addition to the Lime Green accents, it also comes with some Gold branding and Blue accents in areas such as the tongue and paneling. Lastly, an off-White sole unit cleans things up a bit and adds some additional contrast. Priced at $130, you can now find these today at select adidas retailers.
The adidas Crossknit Boost Is Ready To Hit The Green
By SoleInsider
adidas has a good thing going on when it comes to their Boost tech. Which is why I don’t blame them when they look to utilize their modern tech on any kind of sneaker for any kind of activity. The latest adidas model to rock happens to be a gold model. Here’s a first look at the adidas Crossknit Boost.
The adidas Crossknit Boost comes equipped with a Circleknit upper created specifically for golf footwear. It woven upper excels in breathability and comfort. Additional features on the shoe include the internal Three Stripes reinforcement, heel counter, a TPU welded toe, and the extended saddle sling for added stability and protection. The star of the shoe is without a doubt the full-length Boost midsole providing maximum cushioning and energy. Already available in 4 different colorways, pick these up from select retailers for $160.
Look for the adidas Crossknit Boost available now in four colorways directly on adidasgolf.com. The retail price tag is set at $160 USD.
I’ve never played gold, but if I did I know I’d like to wear a shoe with Boost. Standing all that time would require for me to have some comfy shoes. I know these would deliver.
Buy, Pass, Wait: adidas Harden Vol. 1, Space Jam Jordans, adidas NMD R2
By SoleInsider
The first weekend of December brings with plenty of kicks for sneakerheads to check out, but which ones are the worthy day 1 purchases and the ones that maybe you should give it a few weeks before copping? The KoF Staff reconvenes once again for the latest edition of Buy, Pass, Wait to help you out this holiday season.
adidas Harden Vol. 1 Pioneer
adidas
Juan Martinez, Editor-In-Chief: (GOT ‘EM) I’m surprised we got the shoe so far out that the Hardens already feels like a part of the regular rotation and yet most people are just now getting to experience them for the first time. For the price, the look and the value you get (a brand’s lead signature shoe), this is a must-have. It might not be the colorway I would have gone with had I had to pay for my pair (I love me some Gila Monster), but I wouldn’t be shocked if I owned a handful of Vol. 1s by the time the season is over.
Renz Ofiaza, News: (PASS) I do like the lifestyle-inclined aesthetic of the silhouette but it’s an easy pass for me. The black/gold colorway is more appealing though.
Juan Carrillo, News: (WAIT) Statistically, Harden is having a hell of a season. With the adidas Harden Vol. 1 recently making its debut, perhaps his success on the courts translates to some success on his first signature shoe. After the shoe getting clowned on during the “first look” stages, I feel like people are finally coming along to appreciating the shoe, including me. adidas is doing their thing when it comes to basketball sneakers, so I assume this model will fare well, performance wise. I dig it, but I’m in no rush to get a pair right now.
Andres Carrillo, News: (PASS) I’ll admit the more I see the Harden Vol. 1 the more it’s growing on me. The black & gold pair that released last week gave the shoe an entirely different look. I don’t like this Pioneer colorway enough to buy it, but maybe down the road I may consider buying a different pair.
EIC Juan: (PASS) Oh Jordan Brand, the genius of rebranding these Space Jams is on a Monstars level. I know you couldn’t name these the “Fly Like An” Eagle 9s but this really should have been the name of the shoes from the beginning. Some people will stick to whatever OG nicknames they had for the shoes originally (I call them “OG 9s”), but as more kids just know Michael Jordan from the movie, that too will pass. Brilliant!
Renz: (WAIT) It’s a classic pair but, I’m not really that inclined on purchasing it instantly. I don’t really care about the name change either.
News Juan: (PASS) The Air Jordan 9 is one of my least favorite models from the Air Jordan signature line. Having Jordan Brand rename this colorway the Space Jam may finesse some people into getting a pair, but not me. If I was a betting man, I’d say that these get reduced in price in no more than 3 weeks.
Andres: (PASS) I’m not a fan of the Air Jordan 9, but if I were this is a colorway I would pick up in an instant. There’s just something about the OGs. I’ll wait for THE REAL Space Jams next week.
Air Jordan XXX1 Space Jam
EIC Juan: (GOT ‘EM) I sound like a skipping track on your workout playlist, but if only that Jumpman wasn’t there…
Renz: (WAIT) The Space Jam theme looks really solid on the model and it’s one of the better iterations of the silhouette for sure. I’d consider at a lower price point.
News Juan: (WAIT) Here’s a fun fact, I actually prefer this Space Jam over the one everybody else wants. Yeah, call me crazy, I know. I actually like the 31 model and I think it looks great as a casual shoe. After writing countless articles of the Space Jam 11s and going over hundreds of pictures of the same shoe, I’m kind of over them and they’re not even here yet, can you blame me? Once the 31s go down in price I may end up getting a pair.
Andres: (WAIT) Jordan Brand does another great job with this colorway of the Air Jordan 31. But just like almost every other pair that has released, I think if I wait enough I can get it for a cheaper price.
King Push x adidas EQT BOOST
adidas
EIC Juan: (BUY) Pusha T and his team at adidas does it again but this time instead of calling it a day with an all-grey everything take on the EQT, they add some more twists like Primeknit and Booost.
Renz: (PASS) I like the silhouette in general but, I’m not too keen on application of snakeskin detailing. It kind of looks tasteless, although the colorway is pretty solid.
News Juan: (BUY) Very nice. I love what adidas is doing with their EQT model. Adding Primeknit and/or Boost on EQT models is a great way to rejuvenate the line. This is by far one of the best adidas collabs I’ve seen all year. Good luck getting a pair, we’re all going to need it.
Andres: (PASS) Great job by adidas to add a Primeknit upper and a Boost midsole to this latest Pusha T collaboration, but I’m just not really feeling the overall design.
adidas NMD R2
EIC Juan: (BUY) To me, the NMD has already been evolving with City Socks and the various collabs that seeing something called R2 just means that it’s time for a total reboot like a new version of iOS. I’m curious to see how that plays out, but the R2 is a great jumping off point.
Renz: (BUY) The reconfigured upper with the new pattern is nice look and the style itself is a crowd pleaser. I’m looking forward to more colorways too.
News Juan: (BUY) I like it more than the R1 for the simple reason that the pods on the midsoles are gone. I’ve heard that although they do provide stabilization, they reduce the comfort that Boost provides. Being that I’d be using these casually and not for performance, I don’t mind trading in stability for added comfort.
Andres: (PASS) When I first saw NMD R2 I didn’t really like it, but after seeing better pictures of the shoe it looks better every time. Does that mean I would buy a pair? I’d have to see them in person first. These first two colorways are a pass for me though.
Melody Ehsani x Reebok Question
@melodyehsani
EIC Juan: (GOT ‘EM) I don’t know if I would have bought a pair of these had I not flown out to Charlotte to meet with Melony and the Iverson family to get a first-hand look at the stories behind the shoe, but I’m glad that I did get that chance. My appreciation for the process behind the making and marketing of a sneaker just grew exponentially. I know it doesn’t always hit and I’ll be interested how the community feels about these, but it’s something all fans should get a chance to check out at some point.
Renz: (WAIT) It’s a pretty solid execution. Maybe I’m just biased towards the colorway, but the sneaker itself is one of faves from the brand.
News Juan: (BUY) By far one of the best looking Reebok Questions I’ve seen in quite some time. Not only is the colorway dope, but the quality, detailing and craftsmanship is top notch. Melody did her thing with this pair.
Andres: (PASS) Love the inspiration behind this Question Mid. I think if I had my own shoe I would create a colorway inspired by the special women in my life as well. However, I don’t really like the colors on the shoe. I’m a fan of vachetta tan leather, but the way it was used on this Question Mid just doesn’t appeal to me.
Solefy x Air Jordan 16
@solefly
EIC Juan: (BUY) I used to collect trading cards, so the idea of throwing down money for a shot at a Michael Jordan autograph is not something I’m unfamiliar with. Hell, with 1,500 pairs available and my guess is he signed no less than 10 pairs, those are better odds than some of the stuff Upper Deck has dropped through the years.
Renz: (BUY) Not looking to wear but since it’s pretty limited, I’d consider buying for resale purposes. Hehe.
News Juan: (PASS) Collaboration, limited, exclusive or not, I’m not of a fan of the 16s. This will be an easy pass for me. The $275 price tag makes it easier to pass on as well.
Andres: (PASS) It was already going to be hard to pick up this shoe since there’s only 1,500 pairs, but now that people know that random pairs will come with Michael’s autograph on them will create even more hype. Personally I think it’s a clean shoe, but it’s not something I would see myself wearing.
The successor to the original model that debuted earlier this year with the adidas NMD R2 is set to make its official debut tomorrow.
Featured in olive, the silhouette is essentially an upgraded version of its predecessor. Simply evoking style and modern tech, the brand?s signature primeknit upper has been revamped with a new striped patterned overlay that envelops its entirety. In addition, the distinctive boost midsole unit has been refined, which now only features one large EVA insert on the inner lateral section.
Retailing for $160, you can purchase this new style at select adidas retailers worldwide starting December 3rd.
The silhouette is an instant crowd pleaser and this variation looks a lot more sleeker. The new construction is solid and this colorway is pretty versatile/stylish.
