In a couple of weeks we’ll be seeing the next adidas NMD XR1 arrive at retailers as the Core Black pair that you see above will be making its debut.

Already having released in a handful of colorways last month, the NMD XR1 returns for the month of September in a sleek Core Black colorway that features hits of Footwear White on the micro-rib knitted woven upper. A Black Boost midsole with black EVA inserts adds to the almost monochromatic look.

Check out the latest on-feet images above and look for this release at select adidas Originals retailers on September 17th. Retail price will be $140.

So far I’m not a fan of the NMD XR1, I prefer the original NMD instead. These are a pass for me.

adidas revealed the adidas Crazy Explosive not too long ago. A few months have passed since they unveiled the model, now it appears as if the low top version on the shoe will soon get officially unveiled as well. Today we get our first (un)official look at the adidas Crazy Explosive Low.

Looking to make a statement right out the gate, the shoe comes in a Purple upper accompanied by the icy Blue outsole noted below. If you take a closer look, you will see that the icy Blue outsole actually encloses a Boost cushioning system. Additional features include the unique lacing system, the slip-on construction and the adidas branding placed on the tongue and lateral side of the heel. No word yet on when these will drop, but let us know what you think so far.

I can dig it. The sole it dope, especially since it comes with Boost. The color makes a statement as well. I’m looking forward to this release.

The world of sneakerheads and video games collide once more in the latest trailer for NBA 2K17. Entitled “Kicks Matter”, the video focuses on the latest kicks that will be featured in the game along with some sneakers that have been on our wishlist for a long time.

Remember when basketball video games had sneakers that were simply mirror images of each other so you got one correct shoe and the other side had “Nike” backwards or inverted? 2K Sports has taken great lengths to make that doesn’t happen anymore. They have stepped it up with their 3D scanning so little details like the quilted finish on the Air Jordan 2 Just Don and the Flyknit material on the Nike KD 9 are apparent even from afar.

Old favorites like the Air Jordan 1 Bred are making a return, but maybe the most newsworthy sneaker to pop up in the trailer is the adidas Yeezy Boost 350. It’s an all-too brief moment in the trailer, but look for somebody like Nick Young to be wearing them in the game. You know, if the Lakers let Swaggy play this season…

NBA 2K17 drops later this month on September 20 with the Early Tip-Off Edition landing on the 16th.

While we wait for adidas to give James Harden his own signature sneaker, they continue to release special PE colorway of the Crazylight Boost 2016.

The latest pair takes inspiration from Harden’s college alma mater, Arizona State University. James’ path to the NBA took shape at ASU, where he created a style all his own as a lights out three-point shooter with Eurostep drives to the rim.

“Arizona State helped mold me into the man I am today and this is my chance to show love, respect and how much they mean to me,” James explained. “I’ve been up there practicing this summer and it’s one big family. You find certain things in life, and you get attached to them. It’s no different with ASU.”

The adidas Crazylight Boost 2016 ASU features a light gray jacquard upper, maroon detailing and Harden’s No. 13 badge accented in gold on the tongue. Other details include full-length BOOST cushioning, a TPU forefoot roll cage and re-engineered fast traction to amplify control at all angles of play.

You can purchase the adidas Crazylight Boost 2016 ASU at Foot Locker and adidas.com now for $130.

Author’s Take

There’s been a couple of colorways of the Crazylight Boost 2016 that have caught my eye, but this is my favorite one so far. The combination of grey and maroon is dope!

This upcoming collaboration between Concepts and adidas is right around the corner. Actually, it drops tomorrow. Consisting of two different pairs, today we take an on-feet look at the Concepts x adidas Ultra Boost EQT Support 93/16. Said to pay homage to New York City and Boston (cities where Concepts resides), both pairs have their own flare that represent their respective city quite well.

The Boston pair on the collab will feature a premium suede upper offset by the Rose Gold detailing noted on the ribbon Three Striped branding which are also connected to the matching eyelets. The shoe will also come with Ultra Boost outsole, Continental Rubber traction and Concepts branding on the lace dubraes and tongue. The shoe will retail for $170 and will be available online Saturday, September 3rd at 12PM EST at cncpts.com and in-store at Concepts NYC at 10AM EST.

The New York pair will feature a upper with a premium suede construction accompanied by the leather accents found throughout. It will also be Boost equipped and come with Continental Rubber traction. Coming in predominantly Black, the tonal look is broken up by the hits of White placed on the toe and medial side of the shoe. Concepts branding appears on the tongue and dubraes, while adidas EQT branding can be seen on the heels. This pair will retail for $170 and will also be available online Saturday, September 3rd at 12PM EST at cncpts.com and in-store at Concepts NYC at 10AM EST.

It has pretty hard to pick up a pair of the adidas Alpha Bounce when it first made its debut. Over time, adidas has made more and more colorways, thus making it easier to snag a pair. Now for the first time ever, adidas has come out with a monochromatic version of the shoe. Today we take a look at the adidas Alpha Bounce Triple Black.

Coming in an all-Black aesthetic, the Alpha Bounce is only minimally contrasted by the small accents of Silver and Granite strategically placed all over the shoe. The inner part of the heel pull tab also comes in Red, but that’s about it when it comes to contrast. Said to be releasing September 10th for $100, how many you are hyped for this release?

Author’s Take

I’ve yet to try on a pair. I’ve heard that it’s not as comfortable as the Ultra Boost (obviously), but the shoe makes up for it in the looks department. This Triple Black is sure to garner plenty of attention.

It’s almost impossible to count or name the different amount/versions of Stan Smiths that have come out in the past few years. While we’re all patiently waiting for the Boost equipped Stan Smith to drop next year, adidas goes aheads and surprised us with yet another iteration of the classic model, this time constructing the shoe in woven fashion. Let’s get our first look at the brand new adidas Originals Stan Smith Woven.

Debuting in the classic White and Green colorway, the woven upper comes in all-White fashion. Providing minimal contrast is the Green noted on the leather heel and tongue branding. Additional features include White laces, perforation hits on the side panels, and a cork-like construction on the insoles. Are you diggin’ the woven look? If so, you can now pick up a pair at select retailers for $85.

In mt opinion, the more options the better. The woven look is cool, but I’d prefer to get the Primeknit version. With that being said, I can’t wait for the Boost version coming out next year.

A new colorway of the adidas Tubular Radial has just released and it’s one that fans of the silhouette will want to scoop up to rock for the upcoming Fall season.

This new Tubular Radial comes covered in Light Grey on the entire upper which is made out of a combination of suede and neoprene. Down below we have a Vintage White tube-inspired EVA midsole with textured ripple details for a tough and rugged look. Finishing things off are hits of black on the branding on the tongue and the laces.

Get a pair now from select adidas retailers for a price tag of $110.

I’ve always liked this Tubular radial because it’s a low-top and this is one of the nicest colorways that I’ve seen. Looks like I’m finally going to have to try these on in person.

adidas Originals continues to release some of the most experimental silhouettes in the lifestyle category, and if you’re doubting that sentiment then looking no further than the adidas Originals SEEULATER. Women’s brand HYKE recently highlighted the model in an upcoming Fall/Winter 2016 editorial which showcased three new tonal colorways slated to release in the near future.

The adidas SEEULATER takes inspiration from a boot of the same name that released back in the 90s by the three stripes. They’ve teamed up with Japanese lifestyle label White Mountaineering to add a woven Primeknit upper to the head-turning silhouette. It’s unclear if that same construction is utilized in the three new colorways showcased here, but the rugged outsole tooling and lockdown straps remain. What do you think of the adidas SEEULATER? Be sure to check out more photos below and know that the White Mountaineering x adidas Originals SEEULATER will be available on September 9th.

This new Undefeated x adidas Consortium Busenitz consists as the latest collaboration between both labels this season.

Simply redefining the German sportswear label’s popular skateboarding silhouette — Dennis Busenitz?s signature shoe — the model emits military vibe and features a premium makeup of leather and suede, alongside ripstop nylon — all of which are rendered in a stylish hue of beige/tan. Luxe flair is further evident with gold accents utilized for its co-branding, which is prominent on the tongue tab and insoles.

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for an official release date and more details.

I like the simplistic design of the silhouette. In this colorway and makeup, it’s an even more stylish alternative. I haven’t bought this style yet, but I’m considering for this pair.

Following a preview of upcoming colorways, the Pharrell x adidas NMD Human Race line continues to grow, as the man himself recently gave us a sneak peak of a new light blue colorway.

As seen on this official Instagram account, the sleek silhouette is essentially similar to the inaugural yellow pair. This particular variation, however, is simply draped with a light blue-based upper, with the defining text of ?HUMAN? across the left shoe and ?RACE? on the right in contrasting black.

In addition, the unique lacing cage component and EVA inserts on its midsole are also shaded in black to perfectly complement its palette. Finished off with a full-length boost sole unit in white, expect to find this pair at select adidas retailers very soon.

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for further updates.

Since it’s introduction, I’ve been a fan. I missed out on the yellow pair, but, I’m looking forward to this colorway even more.

The newly-introduced adidas Ace 16+ PureControl Ultra Boost was recently offered in its inaugural colorways of black and volt.

Now, the soccer boot/sneaker hybrid was just released in a new vapor blue finish. Instantly selling out overseas upon its availability, this silhouette has certainly been quite difficult to attain due to its limited production. Rumors have suggested that 500 pairs of this colorway was only produced.

Defined by its breathable primeknit upper and boost sole unit, the laceless design is also detailed with an extended collar and enlarged three stripe branding gracing the side panels.

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for the arrival of this pair nationwide.

I missed out on the previous pairs and this colorway is another appealing option. I really like the sleek design of the silhouette.

The ever so popular adidas Ultra Boost continues to receive new enhancements throughout the season, as this forthcoming pair is built specifically for the colder months ahead.

Consisting of an ATR rendition, or essentially All-Terrain, the silhouette is upgraded with a much sturdier and durable construction, in addition to receiving a water-resistant layer to help keep your feet dry against the elements.

Furthermore, the model flaunts a slight taped-off build for a sleeker profile, while its signature caging system, heel counter and white boost midsole unit are retained to maintain its recognizable design language.

Showcased in two colorways, look for this style to debut at select adidas retailers sometime later this Fall 2016.

I’ll be an advocate for this silhouette no matter what. The new build seems solid and these colorways are appealing options. You can wear this style all-year.
