Adidas will be bringing back the adidas Climacool 1 this weekend after its original release in the early 2000s.

The adidas Climacool 1 comes equipped with a full Climacool breathable mesh construction, TPU overlays on the toe and quarter provide structural support, complemented by a perforated sockliner and outsole tooling for 360-degree breathability. As you can see above, the Climacool will be returning in four different tonal colorways that include red, black, green and white.

Are you excited about this release? If you are, you can pick up a pair at select adidas Originals retailers beginning on April 2nd.

Author’s Take

The technology and materials used on the Climacool 1 make it look like a very comfortable shoe. I’ve never tried on a pair but I can definitely tell that a few silhouettes of today have taken some design inspiration from the CC1.

Despite staying relatively injury free this season, it hasn’t been that great of a season for Derrick Rose. Getting left off the all-star team; the Bulls possibly missing the playoffs; it hasn’t been an ideal comeback season for the former NBA MVP. However, Derrick has been showing signs of brilliance since the all-star break, with some analysts saying he’s playing his best ball since 2011. Will his sneaker for next season?the adidas D Rose 7, which we get a first look at here today?help him continue his return to NBA dominance? Here’s hoping that what looks like could be his best signature shoe yet will be matched next year by his best season yet. Enjoy this first look at the D Rose 7, and stay tuned for further details.

Just when I thought we were done talking about black, white and gold tonight, here comes “another one”, as DJ Khaled would say.

Sporting a shiny gold metallic gold heel counter, this adidas Ultra Boost sample once again breathes a fresh new look to an instantly classic silhouette. It’s amazing what a few changes like that will do to a sneaker that we already feel is one of the best to come out of the three stripes in a very long time.

But of course, there’s a catch to all of this and that’s in the form of the black Primeknit upper. It could just be a less than stellar image quality, but the upper appears to use the same wavy pattern as other general release Ultra Boosts and judging from past releases, that’s not a good sign.

Now it could just be us jumping the gun on this and it’s actually a pure black Primeknit upper, so stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for more information on this release.

Juan Martinez, Editor-In-Chief: Take my money already, adidas. The gold heel is a great new wrinkle to the Ultra Boost, although I hope it’s a solid counter that won’t scratch or fade right away after multiple wears. I need those to stay shiny for well, forever. Hope that’s not too much to ask.

The adidas Ultra Boost continues to evolve and the beloved model tried on new color, patterns and motifs. This time around the shoe tries on a gradient-pattern on the upper by utilizing two colors to give it that effect.

The Ultra Boost has a Primeknit upper done up in a gradient pattern that pairs black and Solar Red together to give the it desired look. Additional hits of red can be seen on the laces as well as on the trim placed on the black heel counter. Completing the look is the white Boost midsole and red outsole. No release date yet, but feel free to let us know what you think about this new look on the Ultra Boost.

I like the gradient look on the upper, and I also like the color used on the outsole. Once again, adidas manages to give the Ultra Boost a brand new look and feel. Great work.

Is it just me, or has the Ultra Boost taken a back seat to the adidas NMD these last couple of months? Whether that is true or not, there’s not doubt that people will be paying closer attention to the model as its about to collaborate with Porsche Design. Today we get an official look at the Porsche Design x adidas Ultra Boost.

Collaborations between Porsche Design and adidas is nothing new, but this is the first time that it has been done on the beloved Ultra Boost. Looking to implement their own clean and slick design on to the aesthetic of the shoe, the Porsche Design x adidas Ultra Boost manages to upgrade its look while still maintaining its function. New features on the shoe include the larger cage on the side panels that definitely give the shoe a sleeker and modern look. In addition, Porsche Design branding can be seen on the tongue and heel support. The all-black upper us accompanied by the all-white Boost midsole and black outsole combination. Like what you see? Expect for these to release sometime during the Spring.

The new caging system in interesting. The shoe is clean. I would definitely like to own a pair of these.

The adidas Yeezy Boost 550 is slated to be the newest model set to come out of the adidas x Yeezy line. Although much talk and rumors have been centered around the shoe and when it could possibly release, nothing has been confirmed when it comes to what the shoe actually looks like or when it will release.

With that being said, we’ve seen plenty of pictures over the last few months that show a model rumored to be the 550 that closely resembles the Yeezy Boost 350. We even say French Montana rock a pair not too long ago. Could the shoe you see above be the rumored adidas Yeezy Boost 550? The shoe does share some of the same characteristics as the 350, with minor alterations such as the higher cut/tongue and the slightly altered sole unit. If these are in fact the 550s, are you looking forward to this potential release? Let us know in the comment below.

Author’s Take

In my opinion, if these are the 550s, they look to similar to the 350s. Regardless, you know very well that they’re still going to fly off the shelves.

Make no mistake about it, as far as 2016 goes, adidas NMD is without a doubt the hottest shoe model in the game. No other sneaker has come close to garner as much attention as the NMD has, which is why the adidas Originals NMD Experience in Los Angeles was such a big deal.

A couple days ago, adidas Originals celebrated the finale of the NMD_LA experience, which was a week long city takeover by three Los Angeles ambassadors who highlighted their favorite spots all around the city. Los Angeles Laker, Nick Young, renowned photographer, Atibe Jefferson and innovative chef,Roy Choi all helped guide the takeover in which gave people an opportunity to score a limited edition NMD_LA Experience kit featuring a pair of the sold-out shoes. The program concluded with a private concert headlined by Grammy nominated artist Miguel and featured DJ sets by Kilo Kush and Shlohmo.

adidas Originals Director of Brand Communications, Brandon Beaty had this to say about the synergy between the local ambassadors and the brand;

?Our Los Angeles crew featuring Roy Choi, Atiba Jefferson, Nick Young and Miguel all bring a different flavor of creativity, style and authenticity that overlaps perfectly with our brand. Los Angeles is the perfect place to extend the NMD conversation and by allowing these ambassadors to share their idea of city exploration, we can bring the NMD story to life in a very unique and local way –  that?s what our brand and this shoe is all about. This is only the beginning and we?re looking forward to the sharing and shaping the future with everyone.?

The finale event took placed in an unmarked warehouse in the Chinatown neighborhood of Downtown, Los Angeles. During the evenr, guests viewed wall size mape of the Los Angeles exploration tour mapped out by the three ambassadors ans were encouraged to share their event images on social media. Check out the images of the even above and let us know if you attended.

The new adidas NMD doesn’t only exist in low-top form, adidas has created a Chukka boot version of the lifestyle runner to give the shoe turned boot a more sophisticated look.

Already having released in the Red Suede and Black Suede colorways, the adidas NMD Chukka will now be releasing in a pristine white colorway. This time around the upper is composed of Primeknit material. The BOOST midsole has been done in white while grey EVA inserts have been added for contrast along with a black heel tab and rubber outsole.

Take a look at the official images above and look for the adidas NMD Chukka Vintage White to release at select adidas retailers in the near future.

It’s cool to see the Chukka NMD utilize a Primeknit upper but I just don’t like the white colorway. Hopefully they release more colorways in the future.

Both of the colorways from the Geometric Camo Pack are pretty fresh that it’s hard to decide to which one I like better. The subtle camo print on the upper is a nice look.

Porsche Design got a chance to create their own installment of the adidas Ultra Boost, as the infamous sports car company revitalized the upper with unique black overlays that’s as far a departure from the usual Primeknit as possible. Unique waffle-iron like patterns hit throughout in a forward motion while nearly all three stripe branding is ditched for the ‘Porsche Design Sport’ callout. What do you think of Porshe’s take on Boost? Check out more detailed shots below and know that this pair will be available for purchase this Spring 2016 season.

The adidas NMD has been a dominant force in adidas Originals’ lineup throughout 2016, and this weekend the three stripes continues to bring the heat with two more monochromatic, understated Boost x Primeknit offerings. The adidas NMD_R1 “White” is sure to be one of the best releases of the weekend for its white on white approach as a combination mesh woven construction rests atop one of the most comfortable cushion systems in the industry. And if you’re worried that you’d get that crisp pair a bit too dirty too fast, adidas is also offering an all black upper (unfortunately, there’s none of that new black Boost available for this pair just yet). Check out a brief look below and let us know if you plan on picking up either NMD offering.

Following a recent yellow finish, the Raf Simons x adidas Originals Stan Smith returns in yet another colorway this season.

Doused in metallic copper, the sneaker’s leather upper emits a polished sheen to exude its clean profile, as well as its lavish design. Further continued on the tongue, smooth brown leather is utilized for the inner lining, while brown laces are also applied to complement the overall palette.

All supplemented atop a classic gum rubber sole unit to create an aesthetically pleasing style, the model is finished off with the Belgian fashion designer’s “R” gracing the side panels in perforations, alongside more branding on the tongue labels in contrasting white.

You can purchase this pair at select adidas retailers now for $400.

That price tag is a no for me, but this colorway is too nice. You can’t go wrong with the silhouette as well. This is an investment, but it also has resale value.
