In addition to the PDX Carpet colorway, another rendition of the adidas D Lillard 2 is presented, this time dubbed “Oakland.”

Essentially paying tribute to Damian Lillard?s hometown MLB baseball club — the Oakland Athletics — the sneaker is clearly shaded in the team’s signature colors.

Bright green covers the entire upper composition alongside piping on the midsole, while subtle yellow accents are intertwined along the component, while it’s more prominent on the inner lateral portion, branding on the tongue and heel.

All resting atop a clean white rubber sole unit, you can expect to find this model to arrive at select adidas accounts in the coming months ahead.

Stay tuned in to KicksOnFire for updates.

I’m a fan of the silhouette’s design. I’m not an A’s fan but this colorway is pretty appealing. It’s another solid offering and fans should be excited for the release.

Truth be told, the only thing that prevents me from mistaking this pair of kicks we’re featuring today for your typical adidas Pure Boost sneakers is the silver Busenitz name stitched onto the tongue and lateral side. And considering the high praise we’ve heaped upon the adidas Pure Boost around the KoF office since they first launched a few years back, I’d say that’s a compliment to the adidas Busenitz Pure Boost Grey sample that fell into our laps a few days ago.

Since we’re being honest here (although when are we not, right?), I would be lying if I professed to being an expert in skate shoe culture and having great knowledge of the impact Dennis Busenitz has had in the sport. But what I do know is that Boost technology has a played a huge role in the turnaround of the three stripes and one of my personal favorites to come out of that is the adidas Pure Boost. So to bring those two silhouettes together means that the Busenitz is raising the bar for adidas Skateboarding.

After being delivered in the most nondescript of ways, the latest colorway of the Busenitz Pure Boost is a mixture of Busenitz’s signature kicks, which is inspired by the classic adidas Copa Mundial soccer boot, and the aforementioned Pure Boost. It’s such a confluence of influences and tech that really anybody can wear these as a casual pair and know that it’s one of the best out there for comfort but it will be up to the skate community to determine if it’s something that is worth the price tag ($130) considering that the original Busenitz can be had for half that at many retailers.

This isn’t the first time a sneaker has grabbed inspiration from the famous print found on the carpet of the Portland International Airport, but this is definitely the first time the inspiration is used on the adidas D Lillard 2.

The adidas D Lillard 2 PDX Carpet has a more subtle look compared to other past models rocking the PDX Carpet look. The inspiration is found on the minty green translucent outsole, which appears to be the same color found on the PDX carpet. As far as the rest of the shoe goes, the upper comes in a Soft Grey and White colorway, with hits of red found on the branding and eyelets. Would you have liked to see more color used to better suit the inspiration, or is the shoe fine as is? Rumored to release sometime in August, let us know what you think in the comments below.

I’m sure people are going to say these are Yeezy inspired. I won’t but I also don’t see it as much of a PDX Carpet inspiration either.

This following version of the Stan Smith may come in a tonal offering, but it definitely has an exotic look and feel to them. With features that give the shoe a “subtle standout” feel, today we get a good look at the adidas Originals Stan Smith Silver Python.

Two features help make the Stan Smith stand out. One, it comes with an upper covered in a python skin texture to give the shoe its exotic look. Two, the python skin comes in a reflective silver motif that lights up when hit by light. A white sole unit and black hits on the heel tab and tongue branding complete the look of the shoe. If you’re looking for a classic model with a modern look, this is definitely a good option. Available internationally, expect these to arrive stateside in the near future.

It’s solid. I’m very picky with my Stan Smiths, but I think I prefer more of a subtle look on this model.

The adidas Stan Smith may be one of the most classic and traditional sneakers ever, but this latest makeover for the iconic tennis shoe is anything but. The silhouette gets two bold upgrades this spring. First, a python skin texture for the popular reptilian look. Second, that snakeskin texture gets done in from front to back in a reflective silver material. These definitely aren’t your grandpa’s Stan Smiths. You can find pairs arriving now at overseas adidas Originals retailers, and soon here in the US.

As the days go by, more and more new colorways of the brand new adidas Tubular Nova Primeknit model begin to surface. Today we came across a brand new colorway of the shoe and this pair appears to already be available. Let’s get a close and detailed look at the adidas Tubular Nova Primeknit Black / Grey.

Opting to take the tonal route, the shoe rocks a Primeknit upper coming in Black and Grey. The Primeknit construction is accompanied by the neoprene and suede paneling placed on the cage and heel counter. The two-toned look of the upper is contrasted by placing it on top of the all-white Tubular sole unit. Available now, pick up your very own pair at select retailers for $140.

Clean and simple colorway. I’m not big on the Tubular sole unit, which is one of the main reasons why it’s stopping me from paying retail for these.

Whenever the FedEx or UPS delivery truck shows up at the KoF office, it’s always a good day. Admittedly, some days are more exciting than others because there’s always the element of surprise to these packages, but usually the delivery crew is holding the box without exerting too much effort to hand it over to us. This past Thursday was a little bit different though…

About to open this box from adidas. Join in on the fun at https://t.co/fEmNVkmErP and watch the unboxing live pic.twitter.com/sqCB2KPZ8d

If you could see the struggle face on the FedEx driver, you knew that this box was going to be a hefty one. And I found out the hard way as I tried to hold both the box and my dog Swaggy, who has a penchant for running out the door whenever we get a delivery. Yes, I have a dog named Swaggy.

As it turns out, the big uh, foot locker was for the newly reissued adidas ClimaCool 1 and the box was a joint effort by the retailer and adidas Originals. Looks like the three stripes is doing all they can to get people aware and hyped for the lightweight runner. They’ve been able to string a series of hits together recently with their Flux and Tubular series, not to mention the EQT retros so why not try the cult classic?

If you were watching our Facebook Live unboxing, you’ll know that the tonal all-black colorway was not the most well-received of the bunch however. It will be interesting to see if the other colorways of the ClimaCool 1 will get a fair shake from the sneaker community.

The next stop in the adidas Consortium world tour this year is London, where the premium division of the Three Stripes collaborates with Footpatrol on the EQT Cushion 93. The London sneaker shop gives their very own look to the vintage runner featuring a mix of white, black, grey, and burgundy hues for a brand-new colorway that simultaneously looks like it could have been an OG colorway from 1993. The color palette was actually inspired by the vintage adidas London runner, and is constructed in nylon, mesh, pigskin suede, and synthetic nubuck. The excellent take on the silhouette drops tomorrow, April 23rd at Footpatrol and select adidas Consortium retailers worldwide.

Not too long ago we gave you a first look at the Raf Simons x adidas Originals Stan Smith Metallic Silver. If you were interested in picking up the shoe we have more images to show you today.

Dressed in a Metallic Silver upper, this Stan Smith takes things to a whole new level in comparison to its more casual white leather releases. The entire upper on this pair is covered in a glossy silver hue with the only hits of contrast coming on the branding on the tongue and heel as well as the rubber sole unit which are all done in white. A perforated ?R? logo has also been placed on the side panels for Raf Simons instead of the traditional three stripes branding.

Do you like this Metallic Silver colorway better than the Metallic Copper pair? Let us know which you prefer in the comments below and look for them to arrive at select adidas retailers in the near future.

This looks like something that the Tin Man would wear. Some colorways of the Stan Smith are cool but this isn’t one that I would consider buying.

Following an initial glimpse this past February 2016, the adidas Tubular Nova Primeknit in white/black is particularly highlighted.

Essentially the latest lifestyle rendition from the German sportswear label, the model is defined by its breathable knitted upper and sock-like collar to ensure a comfortable and lightweight fit.

The sneaker’s aesthetic is further detailed with its distinctive lace cage system which also bears an elastic band on the rear for additional reinforcement.

Finished off with its signature sole unit that offers enhanced cushioning, find this latest variation to arrive at adidas accounts nationwide very soon.

Liquid Metal donning sneakers had a moment in the sneaker industry two summers ago when Nike Sportswear was dressing seemingly everything in their archives with precious metal uppers for a premium aesthetic. Now it looks like adidas Originals is getting in on the action with the latest edition of their ongoing Raf Simons x adidas Stan Smith collaborations. This Metallic Silver upper is accented by the unique ‘R’ side panel perforations while Raf’s imprint can be seen subtly scribed on the heel. The luxurious pair even sports a matching leather lining for good measure. What do you think of the latest adidas Stan Smith release?

Since its introduction in Fall 2014, the adidas Originals Tubular Runner has been well-received, as more colorways of the silhouette continue to be offered throughout the season.

As part of its Spring 2016 range, the popular silhouette is rendered in a tonal grey finish. Composed of furry suede and textile accents, the sneaker is outfitted with its distinctive sole unit in a pristine white hue to cap off the clean palette as well as solidifying its composition.

Retailing for $110, you can purchase a pair at select adidas accounts nationwide now.

I’ve been a fan of the model since its initial release. I really like the design — it’s sleek and stylish. In this colorway, it’s another versatile offering.

Is it just me or does this new colorway of the adidas Tubular Radial remind you of a certain OG Roshe Run?

It may just be a strange coincidence (or probably not), but this new Tubular Radial may have taken inspiration from Nike for this release. The entire upper of this low-top Tubular is done in Black neoprene with leather detailing landing on the heel. What really catches your eye though is the hot pink Tubular midsole/outsole. Whether the Tubular Radial is better than the Roshe Run is completely up to you, but at least we have more options now.

Let us know what you think of this black/pink colorway of the adidas Tubular Radial and look for them at select adidas accounts in the near future.

I’ll admit that this is more pink than the “Siren Red” colorway of the Roshe Run, but I definitely see the resemblance. I already own the Roshes so these are a pass for me.

Jeremy Lin looks like he found a home in Charlotte. Although he and his team is currently down 2-0 versus Miami in the NBA playoffs, the team (and Jeremy) has improved greatly as the NBA season progressed. Could it be possible that we could soon see Linsanity 2.0? I guess only time will tell.

Formerly a part of the Nike family, Lin is now a part of team adidas. With the Three Stripes supporting and backing him up, they have decided to give him his own PE in the form of an adidas Crazylight Boost 2.5 Low. The adidas Crazylight Boost 2.5 Low Jeremy Lin PE comes in a black and silver colorway topped off with an argyle pattern placed on the midfoot region of the shoe. Additional features on the shoe include the webbed netting on the vamp and the carbon fiber on the toe. A silver heel counter with adidas branding breaks up the tonal look of the upper. Jeremy Lin?s ?JL7? logo is placed on the tongue, while more silver is located on the midsole and eyelets. Available internationally, keep it locked to find out if these find their way stateside.

The adidas Crazylight Boost 2.5 Low is a clean looking model, dressing it in black and silver makes the shoe look even better. Great PE for Jeremy Lin.
