With John Wall’s contract with adidas having ended this year it seems unlikely that the two will agree to another deal since he wore a few Jordan retros during the second half of the NBA season.

That means that adidas is probably stuck with a lot of adidas J Wall 2s that they designed and will never release. One of those colorways may be the pair that you see above which features an off-white upper with colorful graffiti-like detailing on the side panels and midsole. Capping things off is an icy blue translucent outsole, silver detailing on the heel and tongue branding, and BOOST cushioning on the heel.

This is definitely one of the nicer J Wall 2 colorways that I’ve seen. The fact that it has BOOST cushioning makes them even better. Not sure if adidas will release these but I think they should.

Check out this adidas NMD custom we came across. Dubbed the Aqua Dripped, the shoe as created by Duane Gavins Jr. Gavins gave the shoe a “wet” look as the upper comes in a bright blue look with drip detailing to give the shoe a wet/dripped look. Offsetting the look of the shoe is the pink slime placed on the toebox. ‘Dizz’ is placed on the heels of the shoes to complete the main features on the custom.Thoughts on this adidas NMD custom?

There’s no doubt that the adidas Y-3 Qasa is one of the most recognized models from the Y-3 line, but now we’re getting ready to see the beloved model converted into a sandal. Introducing the adidas Y-3 Qasa Sandal.

It’s easy to recognize the sandal as the Y-3 Qasa since the sole of the shoe remains true to form. The upper of the sandal is made out of the same elastic bands you fins on the Y-3 Qasa sneaker, the only difference is that the elastic straps are the ONLY thing you will find on the sandal. Just like on the sneaker, Y-3 branding is placed on the heel. Out now, pick up your very own pair for the retail price of $350.

The sandal is nice. It definitely still has that Y-3 feel to them. I just don’t understand why they’r retailing for $350. For that reason alone I won’t look at these twice.

Don’t worry, this upcoming release of the adidas Tubular Nova isn’t actually made out of cardboard, it’s just the name of the tan hue used on the stylish silhouette. The materials are actually anything but cardboard when it comes to quality, as the shoe features a durable canvas base with suede overlays for the tonal light brown upper, which gets paired with the signature ribbed Tubular sole in white. With the shoe box being the only thing associated with these sneakers that’s actually cardboard, this latest adidas Tubular Nova is arriving at select overseas retailers now, and should be available in the US soon.

Yesterday it was reported via Hypebeast that the next adidas Yeezy Boost sneaker was expected to release on June 6th which had many people wondering whether it would be the 350, 750 or maybe the new 550 silhouette.

A day later we have some new updates regarding this potential Yeezy Boost release. Highsnobiety has passed on a statement made by new Yeezy President Pete Fox regarding the upcoming Yeezy release and it reads as follows:

?As a first of several launch announcements planned for this year, the highly anticipated YEEZY footwear collection from Kanye West?s own signature line will be released globally on June 6, 2016 in select high-end fashion boutiques, specialty stores and online.?

Notice how the statement does not mention adidas anywhere. This probably means that we’ll be seeing something that was strictly made by Kanye similar to his boot line that was released last Fall. The statement also reads “from Kanye West’s own signature line.” So it looks like no adidas Yeezy Boost in the foreseeable future.

We’ll keep you updated with the latest here at Kicks On Fire.

The adidas Y-3 Qasa has been holding down the three stripe’s lifestyle department for quite some time now, so when we got word that adidas Y-3 was turning it into a sandal, we weren’t the least bit surprised. Other brands have gotten in on the slide game this summer, with the likes of the Reebok Instapump Fury getting the convertible treatment too. The Qasa has seen countless installments in the past and seems to be a silhouette always on the cutting edge of trends and changes in the sneaker world. Here the neoprene straps hold the sandal together while an exposed toe and heel are encapsulated by a structured rubberized sole. What do you think of the Qasa Sandal? Check out a better view below and know that select sizes are available from Footpatrol today.

What’s going on with the adidas Yeezy line? We’ve yet to see a Yeezy Boost release in 2016 and now we’re getting word that Kanye’s latest YEEZY footwear launch will be on June 6th – without the help of adidas’ production. Pete Fox, President of the YEEZY label released the following statement:

?As a first of several launch announcements planned for this year, the highly anticipated YEEZY footwear collection from Kanye West?s own signature line will be released globally on June 6, 2016 in select high-end fashion boutiques, specialty stores and online.?

The statement makes sure to be crystal clear that adidas won’t have any involvement with the upcoming YEEZY launch as it’s been independently produced just like the YEEZY Season 2 drop. So what does that say about the three stripes and Kanye’s partnership going forward? Check out a brief preview of the upcoming collaboration courtesy of Highsnobiety.com and stay tuned for more release announcements right here on Sneaker News.

The adidas Tubular Invader consists as the brand’s latest lifestyle silhouette this season, which is rendered a vibrant colorway of red/white.

Essentially covering the model’s suede upper, the collar and heel section of the silhouette is comprised of a textured reptilian-like leather overlay. More suede is evident on the tongue, while the model features a branded elastic band on the heel for additional flair.

Offset against a crisp white rubber sole unit and more red adorning the heel, the sneaker is finished off with perforations on the toe box and the label’s iconic three-stripe motif across its side panels.

You can purchase a pair at select adidas locations nationwide now for $110.

I like the simplicity of the profile. I can’t dislike this colorway either. I’m just biased towards it. The only thing I dislike is the textured detailing on the rear.

To follow-up on a recent black/white offering, the new adidas Originals Tubular Nova is rendered in another appealing colorway for Spring 2016, this time in beige.

Essentially covering the sneaker’s textile upper and distinctive suede overlays across its toe cap and intricately designed side panels which acts as the model’s lacing apparatus, the neutral tone is continued towards the rear and inner lining as well.

Additionally, the notable branded elastic band on its heel incorporates a slightly darker tone to complement the overall palette, while a crisp white tube-inspired sole unit finishes off the aesthetically pleasing profile.

You can purchase this pair at select adidas accounts overseas first, while a stateside release is imminent.

I’m pretty biased towards this color combo. I probably would purchase it every style. I haven’t bought this model yet, but I’m already tempted with this variation.

When it comes to adidas there’s no denying that the NMD is the most popular sneaker right now. Since we haven’t seen a Yeezy Boost release in quite some time adidas has been giving us more than enough colorways of the new NMD silhouette to keep us happy for the moment.

However, you have to be pretty quick with the trigger finger because most colorways of the NMD that release sell out pretty quickly. A new camo colorway has just hit retailers as you can see in the images above. A combination of black and different shades of grey cover the mesh upper on this pair of NMDs while a contrasting white BOOST midsole adds some contrast.

You can look for this pair of NMDs at select retailers now, but don’t sleep because they won’t last long.

Camo looks good on the NMD. This just might be a pair I add to my sneaker collection since I still don’t have a pair of NMDs.

Are you a fan of the Washington Redskins? Arizona State Sun Devils? Cleveland Cavaliers? If you answered yes to any of these teams then this would be the ideal colorway of the adidas Ultra Boost for you.

Draped in a burgundy/maroon and yellow/gold Primeknit upper, this adidas Ultra Boost has recently surfaced and has us hoping that we see a release date in the near future. In addition to the burgundy and gold upper we see 3M detailing land on the adidas branding on the tongue as well as a White BOOST midsole to provide some contrast. Last but not least there is a black rubber outsole for traction.

There is no release date at the moment but stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for any updates.

Burgundy is one of my favorite colors on sneakers so I’m automatically a fan of this pair. I’m not too sure about combining it with gold/yellow though, I would have preferred to see a different color.

Following its official reveal last week, more detailed images of the Pharrell Williams x adidas Pink Beach collection are provided, particularly the new Lace Up and Slip On silhouettes.

In terms of its design and colorway, the models exude a more refined iteration of the iconic Stan Smith. Both featuring a durable textile upper with stretch patched-tape enhancements to promote flexibility, the simplistic designs are reinforced with a moulded nubuck heels in contrasting green to solidify the profile.

All resting atop a matching white rubber sole unit, the pairs are finished off with a color graphic on the insoles and custom logos on the heel tabs.

You can find the sneakers at select adidas accounts in the U.K. starting May 5th, while a stateside release is imminent.

I’m always a fan of this collab. The execution is nice and simple. Both pairs are pretty solid, but I’ll have to side with the laced variation more.

The adidas NMD goes from one stylized camo design to another with this latest version of the ultra-hot lifestyle sneaker. From the Primeknit “camo” version now to this interpretation of camouflage in a blocky, geometric pattern constructed in mesh, the NMD can probably release in just about any kind of camo imaginable and it will still sell out. Case in point, this version in black and grey with a red inner lining is already sold out from Renarts where we got these images, but be on the look out for them at other sneaker shops right now.
