In this week’s edition of Buy, Pass, Wait, the staff wonders have they’re all going to score a pair of the Air Jordan 12 OVO White while also debating the merits of the new swath of NMD releases and whether or not the Air Jordan 12 Wool might be getting a little buried this weekend.

Air Jordan 12 OVO White

Juan Martinez, Editor-In-Chief: (BUY) So yeah, I don’t have the Wings 12 and chances are I’ll probably take an L for this release as well, but I’ll keep hope alive until I see Nike tells me, “sorry.” I’m a sucker like that.

Renz Ofiaza, News: (BUY TO RESELL) Aiming to buy and resell for profit. Since it’s a notable collab, it already gets the attention it deserves. I like the pristine makeup, but, I prefer the OVO Black a bit more.

Juan Carrillo, News: (BUY) I wouldn’t consider myself a Drake fan, but these 12s are definitely one of the nicest colorways the model has come out with this year. That White and Gold combination is perfect. Drake fan or not, I’d love to have these in my closet. Wish me luck, we’re all going to need it.

Andres Carrillo, News: (BUY) I’ve never won a Nike SNKRS drawing, but I hope this will be my first. This is easily the best OVO x Air Jordan release that I’ve seen.

Air Jordan 12 Wool

EIC Juan: (PASS) Too many black-based Air Jordan 12s this year so I’m ready for the fall anyways between The Master and Black Nylon, not to mention last year’s PSNY collab. If I lived on the east coast these would be cool to wear but in Southern California they look off.

Renz: (BUY) Since its introduction, I like how the utilization of wool was implemented. The colorway is pretty versatile and it’s a nice execution of functionality and style as well.

News Juan: (WAIT) I like the shoe, I just don’t see myself wearing it a whole lot. The wool construction is a nice change of look on the shoe, but like I said, I really don’t know when I’d find time to wear these. If these somehow end up on the clearance rack, I’d be willing to pick them up for under $140. If they sell out, I won’t be losing sleep over them.

Andres: (PASS) I like the how the wool upper looks on the Air Jordan 12, I just don’t see myself wearing these too often if I were to buy them. Nice shoe, but not for the price.

adidas Busenitz Pure Boost 10th Anniversary

EIC Juan: (WAIT) Black, white and gold are a winning combination but because these have zero hype behind them, I can just sit back and wait for the price to drop.

Renz: (PASS) I like the simplistic profile in general and it look even better with the boost-enhanced sole. I like the colorway, but, it’s not a sneaker I’m too crazy about.

News Juan: (WAIT) Really nice Black and Gold sneaker. The Red pair that dropped earlier this year ended up in the clearance rack, I hope this pair does the same. being that it’s a 10 year anniversary edition, I don’t see that happening.

Andres: (WAIT) I’ve had my eyes on a couple of colorways of the Busenitz Pure Boost in the past, and this black/gold pair is the best one yet. If these were to fall to under $100 I’d consider buying a pair.

Nike LeBron 10 Soldier Camo

EIC Juan: (PASS) Never been a camo guy and this won’t change my mind. I still find it hilarious this is the model everybody will remember LeBron wearing to win a championship and not his actual signatures.

Renz: (PASS) I’m off with the camouflage theme right now but it looks great on this model. Years ago I would’ve considered, especially if I was playing bball often.

News Juan: (PASS) Not a big fan of the model. I also heard it was a workout to simply put on the damn shoe, and with my wide feet that’s definitely going to be a problem. The camo print is cool, but it could have been executed better.

Andres: (PASS) The camo upper looks solid on the LeBron Zoom Soldier 10, but I think this shoe is meant to only be worn on the court. I wouldn’t spend this much money on a shoe if I can’t wear it casually.

adidas NMD_C1 TR

EIC Juan: (PASS) I’m not sure who this was made for because if you’re looking for a trail shoe, you might want something with a little more support but if you’re looking for a casual NMD there’s several better-looking options but have the Chukka style that you might be looking for.

Renz: (PASS) I admire the Chukka-esque style and it’s versatile makeup for the fall/winter season. Although, I’d rather purchase the NMD Sock instead.

News Juan: (PASS) I don’t really like this trail version of the NMD. If I was really shopping for a trail shoe, I think I’d get one with much more support and structure, that’s just me though. Boost is cool, but you need much more than that for a trail shoe.

Andres: (PASS) Adidas has been releasing way too many colorways of the NMD. This could be a bad thing (look up Nike Roshe Run), so I would slow down a bit if I were them. The only colorway that I’m interested in right now is the restock of the OG Black Primeknit pair that is rumored to be returning in December.

Undefeated has kept busy this year with a lowrider-inspired Nike Air Huarache and one of the craziest ASICS Gel Lyte V collaborations we’ve ever seen, but now the legendary imprint is back with a new collaboration with adidas Consortium as part of the brand’s world tour festivities. The Undefeated adidas EQT Support ADV takes inspiration from the golden age of three stripe running models in a low-key black and white colorway that’s simple enough to rock everyday but will still bring some notoriety when on-feet thanks to a sleek sock-like neoprene upper, leather overlays for added support, and touches of reflective yarn for an added pop.

The Undefeated adidas EQT Support ADV also features a muted camouflage pattern on the heel construction while contrasting cream-colored three stripes hold down the side panels, flawlessly blending traditional adidas aesthetics with a more timely streetwear-inspired look. What do yout hink of the offering? Check out more photos of Undefeated’s adidas EQT Support ADV after the break and grab your pair next Saturday, October 8th at select retailers.

Similar to the adidas Yeezy Boost 750 Grey Gum that released this past June 2016, a light brown variation of the popular silhouette is suggested to debut next month.

Just like the aforementioned pair and previous iterations, the silhouette is defined by high-cut profile and suede upper rendered in the light brown hue. Additional details include perforations on the toe box, a mid-foot strap, zippers along the ankle and a complementing gum rubber outsole. It’s undetermined if it’ll glow in the dark as well.

Retailing for $350, the model is suggested to arrive at select adidas retailers worldwide starting October 15th.

Stay tuned for more updates.

I’m not a big fan of the silhouette overall. Although, the colorway is pretty appealing and stylish. I’d rank this pair as the best looking iteration so far.

Adidas just released a new mid-top lifestyle runner and it’s flying off the shelves rather quickly.

Known as the adidas Cloudfoam Ultra Zen, this shoe features a soft cloudfoam ultra footbed with massaging nubs that give you an outrageously comfortable feel. The upper comes in a soft air mesh upper for maximum ventilation. We also have an injected EVA outsole that makes the lightweight and durable. This debut colorway comes in White, Black, and Scarlet and also has “ADIDAS” branding across the midfoot strap.

Look for the adidas Cloudfoam Ultra Zen at select adidas accounts this Fall for a very affordable price of $60.

Only $60?? It’s hard to beat that. I’m sure plenty of adidas fans will be picking up a price simply because of the low price point.

We already know a mid-top version of the adidas Ultra Boost is coming, and we’ve already received the ATR versions at retail. It appears that an amalgam of the two is coming – the adidas Ultra Boost ATR Street. Based on this image, the Ultra Boost upper is transformed via snug ankle cuff, while the signature three-stripes cage is actually a molded piece with Primeknit overlay. The heel stays put, while a full-length Boost cushioning with a beefier outsole lends to the ATR/Street appeal. There’s no word on a release date for this Ultra Boost remix, so peep the first look here and stay tuned.

The adidas SeeULater is looking to get back into the spotlight this Fall season. One way they look to accomplish that is by releasing these two OG colorways of the model. Let’s get a closer look at these upcoming October drops.

The adidas SeeULater is a hiking and trail model that derived from the adidas EQT line. It made its debut back in the early 90s and its looking to make a name for itself once more in 2016. This sneaker/boot hybrid comes with features such as the sock-like ankle support system, the rugged and durable outsole and the upper made out of a combination of materials such as the nylon and mesh body, the micro-perforated leather, and the tonal suede panels. Coming in the two colorways you see above, you’ll be able to get either of them beginning October 21st. Are you going with the Magenta pair of the Royal pair? Let us know in the comments below.

The adidas Originals 350 is sort of a forgotten model nowadays. Making its debut in Japan back in the 80’s, this is a model you really don’t see much of these days. Looking to change that is UK retailer size? as they plan on releasing two premium suede versions of the model.

Said to be inspired by European models, the Originals 350 has a very sleek and smooth look to them. While that may be the case, the shoe manages to keep its sporty aesthetic at the same time. Coming in two premium suede colorways, features on the shoe include the tonal suede upper, contrasting hits on the tongue label and Three Stripes and even more contrast by way of the sole. Dropping tomorrow, head on over to size? online store to scoop up a pair. Which pair of the size? x adidas Originals 350 are you picking up?

Author’s Take

Don’t know much about this model, but it looks clean in the colorway above. The only thing I’d change would be the color of the sole. Aside from that, it’s all good.

How many of you were actually able to pick up the first ever colorway of the adidas NMD that released in December of last year? Not many people, which is why some exciting news released today.

The original Black Primeknit colorway of the adidas NMD is strongly rumored to be returning in December of this year. With as much success as the NMD has had in 2016, it has easily become one of the most popular and highly sought after sneakers at the moment, especially the Primeknit versions. This OG colorway comes with a Black Primeknit upper, a full length White Boost midsole, and red and blue EVA inserts on the midsole.

The adidas NMD_R1 Primeknit OG is currently scheduled to return on December 15th for a retail price of $180. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for more.

I still don’t own a pair of NMDs but if there’s one pair that I would gladly like to own it’s this OG colorway. There’s nothing like a classic.

The shoe you see above is the adidas EQT Guidance Icke-T. It was created to celebrate the 15 year anniversary of the adidas Originals flagship store in Berling. The special edition model will come in a limited-edition colorway that pays homage to the city’s heritage with subtle and minimal details found throughout the shoe.

Notable features on the shoe include the reflective stripes, the soft nubuck leather done in several different cream hues, and the Red accents placed in areas such as the eyelets and heel. A cool feature on the shoe is Berlin?s coat of arms laser-engraved along the heel. Inside the sole you will find the popular Berlin slang term ?Wattn Ditte? (What?s That) and ?Icke-T Berlin.? The shoe will be dropping tomorrow exclusively at Berlin?s adidas Originals flagship location.

Cool 15-year anniversary sneaker. The cot of arms branding on the heel is a nice touch.

One of the nice NMDs that I’ve seen yet. The tan nubuck/mesh upper is very nice. I wouldn’t mind picking up this NMD but I know my chances are slim.

Nike may have had their All Conditions Gear classic hiking and trail silhouettes, but did you know that adidas EQT branched out in the same direction back in the early 90s with the adidas SEEULATER OG? The unique trail silhouette flawlessly blended sneaker technology with boot features like a rugged and durable outsole unit while a sock-like ankle support system was ahead of its time and can be found on most new lifestyle releases today. While we’ve seen new Primeknit renditions of the adidas SEEULATER and an upcoming collaboration with mita sneakers, today we have some good news: two OG colorways will be returning on October 21st featuring gaudy 90s thematics and premium constructions.

The adidas SEEULATER OG features touches of nylon and mesh throughout while premium micro-perforated leather holds down the heel construction. Touches of tonal suede panels add a nice finish on the side panels while shades of either magenta or royal blue create interesting backdrops for the cult classic trail model. Which pair are you feeling? Check out more of the adidas SEEULATER OG colorways below and grab your pair on October 21st from select retailers.

As we dive deeper into the Fall we continue to see more and more colorways of the adidas Gazelle.

Adidas has made it a focal point to bring back the retro silhouette this Summer/Fall and they have sure done that as we can see with all the colorways that have dropped. It should only be a matter of time until we see a collaborative Gazelle. This new pair that we see above comes dressed in a black nubuck upper along with ostrich leather detailing in blue on the three stripes branding. A reflective heel tab and a white rubber sole unit finish off this Gazelle

Grab your pair from select adidas Originals retailers this Fall.

This shoe could have looked even better if more ostrich detailing was added like on the heel and maybe the eyestay.

Introducing the adidas Cloudfoam Ultra Zen. While this head-turning new model may not look anywhere remotely close to Dylan Raasch’s iconic Nike Roshe Run, there are a few parallels between the two pairs that are noteworthy. Not only is this shoe incredibly affordable at $60 USD, but the simplicity of the design has an Eastern influence, taking aim at the concept of Zen through a sleek, cloud-like construction perfect for everyday use. adidas Originals continues to create noteworthy concepts throughout the Fall 2016 season, and the Cloudfoam Ultra Zen could be the brand’s next must-have model.

The adidas Cloudfoam Ultra Zen utilizes a roomy fit by the toe allowing you to spread your feet out and relax. A new revolutionary footbed features massaging nubs for a fit that not only adds comfort but helps relieve tension the more you wear this pair. The upper is constructed from an air mesh for extra ventilation while an injected EVA outsole unit is as lightweight as it is durable. Design cues from the adidas Y-3 line and past Tubular incarnations are readily apparent here with a neoprene forefoot sporting block letter ‘adidas’ branding.

What do you think of the upcoming Cloudfoam Ultra Zen? Check out more detailed photos below and grab your pair from select retailers like Sneaker Politics for just $60 USD.
