Introduced this past summer 2016, the adidas AlphaBounce is expected to receive a revamped upper for its next variation in 2017.

Showcased above is a preview of the AlphaBounce EM — a version of the running shoe that is constructed with engineered mesh, instead of the silhouette’s traditional FORGEDMESH build. The fused mesh upper rests atop the signature BOUNCE midsole unit which offers superb comfort and cushioning, as it?s comprised of EVA foam that has been engineered to feel soft and provide a responsive, elastic experience when running.

Rendered in black and tech earth, you can expect to find these pairs at adidas retailers sometime during Spring 2017 for $110 each.

I?m pretty biased towards runners and it?s no surprise that I like this silhouette. This variation looks solid and I’m looking forward to the earthy pair.

From afar, the adidas Originals Superstar you see above appears to be a normal Black and White version of the classic model. It’s only when you get closer to the shoe that you see that it comes with a little something extra. Dubbed the adidas Originals Superstar Grid, let’s get a closer look at this readily available shoe.

The adidas Originals Superstar Grid is done in a White leather upper, a White rubber shell toe, White laces and lining, and hits of Black noted on the Three Stripes panels and heel. What differentiates this version from past offerings is the fact that the entire White leather base comes covered in a grid-like pattern to help give the shoe a brand new look and feel. It’s still simple, it just now comes with a little extra. Priced at $80, pick these up today at select retailers.

It’s alright, but it’s not enough (change) to convince me in picking up a pair. Maybe if the grid lines came in a contrasting color it would be more of a noticeable change.

For those of you patiently waiting for more information on the adidas Ultra Boost 3.0 in Blue and Silver to drop, well, you’re going to have to keep waiting, but in the mean time here is a closer look at this new colorway set to make its debut on the 3rd version of the Ultra Boost.

The adidas Ultra Boost 3.0 comes dresses in a Primeknit upper done in a wool like construction. New features on the 3.0 include the slimmer caging system and a new pattern on the actual Primeknit. The aforementioned Blue and Silver take care of the upper, with Blue being the dominant color. The cage, laces and lining come in Blue, while the heel counter gives the shoe a nice pop by coming in Silver. Below you will find a White Boost sole and Black rubber sole to round out the look of the shoe. Stay tuned to find out when the model gets a release date.

I like the new look of the 3.0. The slimmer cage is cool and the new look of the Primeknit is also a nice touch. Big fan of the colorway too. Looks like I?m sold, adidas.

Last month adidas decided to modify and upgrade the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 by releasing a version 2 which many people say uses better materials and is also more comfortable.

Now we could possibly be seeing the Yeezy Boost 750 follow in the same footsteps. Up above is a first look at what is believed to be the adidas Yeezy Boost 750 V2. For the most part the V2 looks very similar to the original with minor changes coming courtesy of new stitching on the toe and a new midfoot strap.

What are your thoughts on this Yeezy Boost 750 V2?  Rumors have this sneaker dropping some time in late 2017. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for a possible release date.

Not really my style. I don’t think I can pull it off, especially living in So.Cal. It’s clean, but just not for me. That price tho!

Once Pusha T released his reptile-textured EQT runners, everyone knew how good the motif looked on the shoe?and now it’s back again. Already a great looking colorway in olive green and white, this latest version of the EQT Support ’93 gets even better thanks to the use of snakeskin textured leather paneling to go along with the suede and mesh. If you like what you see, be on the lookout for the “Olive Snakeskin” EQT Support to be slithering in to select adidas Originals retailers in the USA soon, and at European retailers like END right now.

The adidas Originals Stan Smith One Piece Strap. Whoa, that a mouthful, right?! Judging by the name of the shoe, we’re pretty sure you know what kind of features this version of the Stan Smith comes with, rgardless, let’s go over this upcomin drop which will debut in two different colorways.

The adidas Originals Stan Smith One Piece Strap is a version of the Stan Smith that not only gets a Three Stripe strap lacing system, but it also comes with a one-piece constructed upper. A tonal premium leather upper is accented by the lasered tongue, perforations on the panels acting as Three Stripes branding and the branding on the heel. Coming in your choice of Vapor Pink or Black, both pairs are contrasted by the off-White sole unit. Expect these to drop stateside in the near future.

I can work with the one-piece upper look, not so much with the straps which is usually a deal breaker for me.

Wheat colored sneakers are always in during the Fall season so we can always expect to see countless sneakers released dressed up in the popualr colorway.

Adidas has just covered their Topanga silhouette with a wheat upper as we take a look at this Craft Ochre colorway. Previously known as the adidas California, this colorway of the adidas Topanga features a suede upper in a dark orange/wheat hue along with tonal detailing on the three stripes branding, tongue, laces, and heel tab. A gum rubber midsole completes the look on this classic adidas silhouette.

Will you be picking up a pair this Fall? Let us know in the comments below.

That suede upper looks real nice and the colorway is great for the Fall. This is definitely a sleeper.

Previously seen in a black and white colorway, we now bring to you another colorway of the all-new adidas Cloudfoam Ultra Zen.

For one reason or another, adidas hasn’t given this new silhouette much attention or exposure which is strange considering its affordable price point and unique design. The latest adidas Cloudfoam Ultra Zen comes equipped with the same air mesh upper as before but this time in all-white. The only contrast comes on the black adidas branding that appears on the elastic midfoot strap.

If you’d like to pick up a pair,  you can hit up select adidas stockists now for availability. Retail price is $60.

I’m still not convinced on this shoe. I’d have to see it in person to make my final decision. It sort of reminds me of something that would come out of the Tubular line.

The adidas Y-3 Sport Autumn/Winter 2016 Collection is here and this time around they’ve created shoes that have a multi-functional look to them. The collection manages to fuse Yohji Yamamoto?s core design and style with adidas tech and athlete driven innovations that were especially created for the colder winter season.

Each piece manages to keep their stylish look but also implement a sporty feel to them. Above you will find the men’s adidas Y-3 Approach Reflect that we recently went over. The shoe comes with multiple technologies and elevated design principles. The knitted sock-like upper provides an fit that provided minimal bulk while the stretchy soft shell overlays and welded TPU details provide shape and support. Lastly, the Energy-returning, comfort enhancing BOOSTTM technology completes the main features on the shoe.

Also being shown is the adidas Y-3S TRAIL X (unisex) and the adidas Y-3S RUN X (womens). Want to get your hands on any of these pairs? The adidas Y-3 Sport Autumn/Winter 2016 Collection will be available October 18th select retailers worldwide and Y-3SPORT.com.

As one of the new styles for Fall/Winter 2016, the Raf Simons x adidas Originals Stan Smith Comfort is featured in two new colorways of — White/Dark Blue/Fox Brown and Grey/White/Pumpkin.

Simply embodying the iconic Stan Smith’s recognizable aesthetic, this variation of the low-top sneaker is defined by the addition of velcro straps to replace its traditional lacing system. The clean design is further detailed with the perforated “R” branding across its side panels, in addition to more branding on the tongue, heel tab and sole unit.

You can purchase either pair at select adidas retailers worldwide now for a price tag of $415 each.

The velcro enhancement isn’t a bad look, but the silhouette itself is already an appealing and timeless design. I really like the mixed color schemes though.

Many people are excited about Jordan Brand bringing back the Air Jordan 3 tomorrow, but not as excited as they are about the next Yeezy release.

Even though the chances of scoring a pair of Yeezys are very, very slim, lots of people are willing to go through all the trouble to try and grab a pair. Tomorrow we’ll be be seeing the next Yeezy Boost 750 drop with this Light Brown/Chocolate pair that we see above. This 750 features a Chocolate/Light Brown suede upper with tonal hits on the signature midfoot strap, laces, and inner liner. Additional details include perforations on the toebox, and a gum Yeezy Boost sole that glows in the dark just like the grey pair that dropped earlier this Summer.

Retail price will be the traditional $350. If you’ll be trying to grab a pair, good luck.

With the Fall season here this is a very clean colorway. I?m not a fan of Yeezys, but this is probably the best 750 colorway yet.
