In addition to its Tech Earth finish, the popular adidas NMD will also be offered in Tech Ink, as part of its extensive Fall 2016 lineup.

Flaunting a blueish hue across its woven and synthetic upper, tonal suede accents are applied on the heel for a premium touch, while slight yellow accents are evidenced with the pull tabs for a nice complementing touch. Matching EVA inserts further detail the aesthetic, as it all rests atop a white midsole unit and black outsole.

You can purchase this pair at select adidas retailers starting this Saturday, October 1st for $140.

The sneaker is a crowd favorite and this colorway is another solid option. I like the addition of suede detailing on the heel.

In December of 2015, the sneaker game changed completely. adidas unveiled the new NMD line of footwear, which later developed into one of the brand’s strongest legs to stand on. Now, it’s a foundationary piece for a potentially a whole new category, much like what the Roshe was to Nike when it was introduced back in 2012. The first-ever release of the adidas NMD is seen here, with the standout red and blue “bumpers” atop a white Boost sole and featuring a solid black Primeknit upper. It’s hard to call this shoe an icon of sneaker history, but it’s most certainly one of the most important sneakers of the last few years as it represents perhaps the strongest weapon in adidas’ arsenal. Today, the OG NMD runs up to $1,000, but here’s good news for those still in the hunt: The shoes are releasing again this December.

Right now, a release date for Thursday, December 15th has been confirmed by a retailer. That is nearly one year after the original release of this adidas NMD, and one thing that is undeniably true about the sneaker community is that it’ll buy the same shoe over and over again. Stay tuned for more updates, but be sure to mark your calendars for December 15th.

Earlier this month it was confirmed that the BAPE x adidas NMD collaboration was a real thing and it would be releasing in November of 2016. Today we’re treated to detailed images of both colorways from this highly anticipated pack.

Featuring two different colorway of the adidas NMD (which has been arguably the most popular sneaker of 2016), BAPE has taken their signature camouflage print and placed it atop the NMD. The first pair comes in the traditional green/brown/tan makeup while the second pair features a combination of purple/blue/burgundy across the upper. Both pairs are then finished off with white three stripes branding and a white Boost midsole.

Look for the BAPE x adidas NMD Pack to release on November 26th for $150 each. Make sure to click and bookmark our BAPE x adidas NMD launch page for the latest images, release information, and other important updates.

There’s no doubting the adidas NMD’s position as one of the best sneakers of 2016. Add Pharrell into the mix and you have one of the most coveted shoes of the year, as we saw with the initial “Human Race” release back in August. Tomorrow, adidas will drop five more colorways from the “Hu” Collection, with each pair featuring a different embroidered logo of messaging. It’s rumored that of this quintet, the black colorway is the least limited, while the green pair with the triangular logo is the most limited. Regardless of quantity, you’d be lucky to snag any one of the five. The reservations are all closed on the adidas Confirmed App, but adidas will drop these at select stores worldwide and on adidas.com. Good luck!

What do you get when UNITED ARROWS gets their way with a pair of the adidas Gazelle? A pretty sophisticated looking pair of sneakers. Japanese fashion label UNITED ARROWS does just that as they’re proud to introduce the UNITED ARROWS x adidas Gazelle.

UNITED ARROWS gives the adidas Gazelle a very subtle and minimalist aesthetic staring off with the upper done in a clean Grey suede construction that also happens to include the Three Stripes branding on the side panels. Giving the shoe some nice contrast are the hits of White noted on the tongue and heel. Below you will find an off-White sole unit to help give the shoe a bit of a classic touch. Available now at UNITED ARROWS, pick up a pair of your own for approximately $148

Author’s Take

I like the use of White on the tongue and heel since it does provide some nice contrast. In my opinion though, it would have looked better had they opted to go with a solid White sole.

Are any of you out there familiar with the adidas Dragon? If you’re not then we don’t blame you because adidas hasn’t shown much love to the silhouette lately.

The runner from the 1970s has now returned and one of the first colorways to release this year is this Royal Blue pair that we see above. This pair is dominated by a royal blue suede upper with complementing white hits on the three stripes branding, tongue tag, heel tab, and the midsole. A black rubber outsole caps off the look on this adidas Dragon that will be available at select adidas accounts this Fall. Will you cop or drop?

This is my first time getting a look at the adidas Dragon. It’s not bad, it actually reminds me of other adidas silhouettes like the Samba and Gazelle.

Not only are we expected to see a new Tan colorway of the adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged with an orange Boost midsole, but here’s a first look at a bunch of other colorways that will hopefully be arriving at retailers sooner rather than later.

Every pair of the Ultra Boost Uncaged that we see above comes equipped with the traditional Primeknit upper in a variety of colorways that include orange/white, black/white, grey, black, and navy. A few of them have even been outfitted with colored Boost midsoles, something that adidas hasn’t given us too much of yet.

Check out the early looks above and check for these colorways of the Ultra Boost Uncaged to begin releasing in late 2016/early 2017.

Author’s Take

I’m still not too convinced on the look of the Ultra Boost Uncaged. I like the original Ultra Boost better cause of the cage. Maybe if I see them in person and try them on I’ll have a change of heart.

The adidas Y-3 line is proud to introduce to you their newest addition to the family. Known as the adidas Y-3 X-Ray Zip Low Boost, here is our first look at the inaugural colorway of the model coming in Core Black.

The adidas Y-3 X-Ray Zip Low Boost is constructed out of a neoprene upper accompanied by a layered motif ans a textured interior to give the model a multidimensional look and feel. Notable features on the shoe include the zipper enclosure, the Three Stripes branding on the elastic heel strap and of course, the all-White Boost midsole placed below. As of right now the shoe can be found at international retailers for around $380, expect to see these stateside in the near future. Thoughts?

Author’s Take

I like the sleek look of the shoe. I think I can get used to the zipper enclosure, I just hate the fact that it’s priced at $380. Hell, it could be even more once they arrive in the states.

Are you a fan of the adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged? If you answered yes, that’s great because a handful of new colorways are on the way, including the adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged Tan you see above. Let’s get a first look at this pair.

This adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged comes with a Primeknit upper done in a Tan colorway. The laces and heel counted also come in a tonal Tan motif to give the upper a nice streamlined look. Below you will find a Boost midsole done in an Orange colorway to give the shoe some nice pop and contrast. Rumored to be releasing during the Spring of 2017, stay tuned as more info begins to leak.

Author’s Take

I don’t mind the color of the upper, but I’ll pass on the Orange Boost. It would look so much better had it come in White, but on the other hand, this new color on the Boost gives us something we’ve never seen before.

Now that the adidas NMD has established itself as one of the most recognizable, coveted, and relevant sneaker models today, the brand is beginning to align itself with the best shops and labels around the globe. We’ve already seen the works of mastermind Japan and Offspring, but there’s no questioning that the duet by A Bathing Ape aka BAPE is what we’re all waiting patiently for.

Today, we receive a detailed look at both silhouettes courtesy of stripecenter. Both versions make use of the iconic Bape camouflage print in two colorways, with white taped stripes on the upper and matching NMD “bumpers” on the midsole. Both feature white Boost cushioning, and no, you won’t find any Primeknit on here.

The BAPE x adidas NMD R1 is scheduled for a release on Saturday, November 26th, 2016. Both pairs are set to retail for $150 USD and should be available worldwide. Stay tuned for more updates.

Fifteen years ago, adidas Originals opened its doors in Berlin for the first time. Over that decade-and-a-half span, that shop had been providing its locals with all the adidas heat gets a special tribute in the form of the EQT Guidance ’93 built with light tan suede, red accents, and plenty of Berlin-specific detailing that any of the locals would cherish.

The ladies will have a new color option of the adidas ZX Flux to pick up for the Fall.

Utilizing their breathable Primeknit on the upper, this ZX Flux comes in Halo Pink all throughout the Primeknit material with additional pink hits on the heel cage, laces, and tongue tag.

Let us know down below and look for it at select adidas retailers this Fall.

Primeknit makes the ZX Flux look better, but I don’t like this colorway. I’d be open to other colorways though.

London’s own Offspring continues to celebrate their 20th anniversary as one of the premier sneaker boutiques in Britain with a brand new collaboration with adidas Originals. The adidas NMD serves as the perfect blueprint to build the new collaboration upon, as Offspring references key fashion trends from 1996 – the same year that they first opened their doors – with the Offspring adidas NMD collaboration.

The Offspring adidas NMD R1 references the desert boot trend that was booming back in 1996 through a premium beige nubuck construction. The shop even adds laser cut details, a first for the coveted adidas NMD R1 silhouette, and further creates a dedication to luxury aesthetics through a leather outsole patch and dual branding. The insole features the original Neal Street store exterior in a simple black and white sketch for a beautiful hidden detail.

The Offspring adidas NMD will be available this Friday, September 30th at all Offspring retail locations and online. Check out more detailed shots below and stay tuned for more updates right here on Sneaker News.
