Last offered in all-red, the newly-introduced adidas Tubular Invader is now offered in a subdued finish of onix for its latest iteration this season.

Comprised of smooth suede across its sleek upper, miniature perforations are also applied on the toe box to ensure sufficient ventilation, while the recognizable three-stripe branding adorns its side panels. Further defined by its signature rubber band on the heel, the model is topped off with a matching full-length rubber sole unit.

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

I like the simplicity of the profile. You can?t go wrong with the colorway either. I?m not too crazy about it, but it?s a nice design.

Are you ready for your NMD re-up? The adidas NMD is still months away from celebrating its first birthday and already the shoe has garnered classic status from the sneakerhead community and the general public at large. As times and tastes change, who knew that a sleek silhouette that’s designed for everyday use with a minimalist tone and obscene comfort would become such a hit with everybody? While there is still room for the loud and colorful and whatever Kanye West has up his sleeve, chances are you’re going to see 10 people wearing a pair of NMDs of any flavor before you run into somebody wearing a pair of Yeezys. And that’s just for now, that ratio might soon grow in adidas Original’s favor if NMD Day Part 2 is anywhere near the success of the original

Back in March, adidas NMD Day Part 1 featured nearly 20 different configurations that sold out as fast as they came in. In the preceding months, we have seen a few restocks and new colorways drop here and there, but August 18 is shaping up as another big day in the three stripes calendar with no less than 19 NMDs (with more possibly coming if you’re counting…) slated to drop in the US. From new R1s with textile and reflective uppers to additional XR1 releases, there’s going to be something for all the NMD fans out there, not to mention those who have been waiting for jump on the train for a while now.

adidas Originals has unleashed NMD Madness for the month of August. We’re well familiar with the upcoming release slate of 19 NMD pairs headed to select stateside retailers on August 18th, but what about those of you dwelling overseas? We have some good news, as select colorways of both the adidas NMD R1 and the adidas NMD XR1 will arrive at European outlets on August 26th.

The adidas NMD has been the perfect silhouette for summer thanks to a combination of a breathable, lightweight (and sometimes woven) upper and the patented Boost cushioning system that’s helped revitalize both the trefoil brand’s running and lifestyle imprints. Today we get a look at five original NMD releases, each ditching the Primeknit for a breathable mesh textile complete with subdued colorways of grey, black and white. A Triple White will even be available later this month for those of you looking to carry over the popular Ultra Boost aesthetic.

The NMD XR1 is a bit more complicated in construction thanks to an added cage overlay complete with a mesh side panel. A Primeknit woven upper adds a sock-like fit in the latest women’s exclusive “Glitch Pack” featuring a digitized camouflage in grey or navy.

Be sure to check out the full rundown of 19 adidas NMD pairs releasing on August 18th and if you happen to live in Europe, know that more colorways are coming your way on August 26th.

For those of you that mess with the adidas ZX Flux line, you probably know that the adidas ZX Flux ADV Verve is the latest model that lineage has to offer. Not many colorways of the shoe have released thus far, but I’m willing to be that the Shock Pink pair you see above is without a doubt a pair that will leave you with a lasting impression.

This women’s model comes with a simple yet modern design that has has a little “performance” look to them. The upper is made out of mesh and it’s fused together with synthetic hits. Below you will find a soft foam sole for comfort. The shoe’s most notable feature is the fact that it comes dressed in an all Neon Pink colorway from head to toe. Available internationally, it’s only a matter of time before these arrive stateside.

I don’t really care about he reflective hits, I’m actually more intrigued by the Black/White color scheme used on the mesh. It looks pretty good on the shoe.
