Damian Lillard is used to being looked over. It’s something that happened to him in High School, the NBA Draft, Team USA summer camps, and even this year’s All-Star Game. Dame wanted to remind everyone that he’s one of the game’s best young stars after the mid-season break by lighting up the league-best Warriors, blowing out the Western Conference juggernaut while becoming the quickest to record a 50 point game. It only took Dame 31 minutes and 6 seconds to log his career high against one of the NBA’s best defenses and the overall flurry definitely served as a reminder to how dangerous a weapon Lillard is on the court.

The rest of the talk is just noise. That’s the theme of the latest adidas D Lillard 2, nicknamed the “Static” for its black and white interwoven threads complete with bold contrast midsole speckling. ?I don?t need validation ? they?ve seen what I can do out there,? Dame said after the recent Warriors game. ?As a man, I?ve grown to rise above it all and block out the noise. I?ll keep pushing, keep working and soon enough they?ll wake up.? Don’t let the D Lillard 2 go under your radar. The pair is available February 27th for $105 from select retailers.

The latest variation of the popular Raf Simons x adidas Originals Stan Smith for Spring/Summer 2016 is revealed, as the model is defined by Lush Green.

Essentially a luxurious iteration of the iconic sneaker, yet maintaining its signature profile intact, the only noticeable difference consists of the letter “R” perforated into the side panels which represents the Belgian fashion designer, as well as replacing the traditional three-stripe branding instead.

Overall comprised of premium leather, White consists as its dominant hue, which also flows towards its rubber sole unit, tongue and laces. Complemented with light green accents on the heel tab and subtle branding on the rear, you can purchase a pair at select adidas accounts now for $455.

With that price tag, I’d rather purchase it in its original collaboration-free iteration. The silhouette is classic and appealing nonetheless, but there’s resale value for these anyway, haha.

The adidas Y-3 QR Run is introduced in two new colorways this season, which essentially utilizes black and white for superb versatility.

Comprised of technical mesh across its upper, the futuristic runner is detailed with a TPU toe cap for added stability, while leather accents line the heel counter and a neoprene inner liner ensures sufficient support and cushioning overall.

Additionally detailed with branding at the leather tab on the tongue as well as the eyelets, the sneakers are topped off with the brand’s renowned boost sole unit in white. You can purchase each pair at select adidas stores now for $410.

Aside from the steep price tag, the models are pretty appealing. Both in terms of its design and colorways. I’m biased.

Flaunting the eye-catching hue across its entirety overall, the sleek and stylish sneaker is composed of a mixture of neoprene and synthetics across its lacing component, as a midfoot strap provides more security, in addition to reinforcing the design.

You can purchase a pair at select adidas accounts now for a price tag of $110.

I’m a fan of this silhouette and in this colorway, it’s versatile for all genders. The only dislike for me is the reptile detail on the heel.

Is the all-red sneaker craze dead or is it still alive and well? What do you guys think? We’re not sure so let us know your thoughts down in the comments below.

Adidas thinks that it’s still alive and they show that by creating this new Space Red colorway of the adidas Originals ZX Flux. The lifestyle runner from the Three Stripes is covered in a red space print that features some galactic graphics on the textile upper in white that serve as the perfect contrast against the bright red upper. There’s not much else to the shoe since the whole thing is draped in red including the inner liner, laces, heel cage, and midsole/outsole.

Author’s Take

I think the all-red sneaker hype is slowly but surely dying out so it probably wasn’t the best idea for adidas to create this colorway of the ZX Flux. We’ll see if people decide to cop or pass on these.

Adding to the Chocoloate colorway sample/unreleased pair that we showed you earlier today, here’s another adidas Ultra Boost that has yet to hit retailers.

Covered in a white Primeknit throughout the majority of the upper, this unreleased colorway of the adidas Ultra Boost has then been hit with multicolor detailing on various parts of the upper including the toe, mudguard, and side panel underlays. This colorway was first seen last month as a possible 2016 release but no new information has surfaced yet on whether they’ll release or not. A red heel counter adds another pop of color to the shoe and caps things off along with a white BOOST midsole and white outsole.

Do you think this white/multicolor Ultra Boost will be arriving at retailers? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments below.

Looks a bit similar to the blue Chinese New Year colorway that released earlier this month but with more hits of multicolor. I think people would go crazy if these ever released.

A crowd favorite so far, the new adidas NMD is set to arrive in another colorway this season, following its most recent iteration in yellow camo.

This time sporting a classic tone of navy, the defining hue essentially covers the sneaker’s breathable mesh upper, tongue and laces. The subdued colorway is also applied on the brand’s signature three stripe motif across its side panels, pull tabs and rear portion of its sole unit.

All resting atop a clean white boost midsole, additional hits of white are applied on the heel tab, while subtle grey hits adorn the frontal portion of its midsole component. Stay tuned in to KicksOnFire for an official release date, which is scheduled sometime this Spring 2016.

Does this colorway of the adidas Ultra Boost look familiar to you? Don’t worry if it doesn’t because we’re a getting a first look at it ourselves today.

This new colorway features a white and grey Primeknit upper with chocolate detailing on the laces, side panel cages, and the leather tongue. The leather hit on the tongue is a new detail that hasn’t really been seen in the past that adds a nice touch of luxury to this otherwise casual runner. Finishing things off is a white BOOST midsole and black rubber outsole.

It’s still unclear whether this is just a sample colorway of the Ultra Boost or if we’ll be seeing a limited release in the future. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates and let us know your thoughts.

Nike owns multi-color knit, period. But adidas is taking the rainbow-blasted woven uppers and running with it (albeit in light spurts) because we’ve seen it hit the Chinese New Year colorway earlier this year, and it looks like the brand might have another one up its sleeve soon. This adidas Ultra Boost lacks the CNY logo on the tongue and instead features the classic adidas Performance logo, but the red heel-cap is an indication that these might be part of the annual celebration. The “multi-color” Primeknit is unique in that it is featured on the underlay, with white knit shrouding some sections of the toe for a unique take on this popular textile. We’ll let you know if these ever release, but in the mean-time, enjoy the photos ahead.

A special variation of the adidas Originals Tubular X that debuted during this past NBA All-Star weekend is given a closer look, as the the silhouette is essentially defined by its primeknit upper.

Flaunting black as the majority of its colorway, the understated tone is accentuated with touches of grey across the knitted composition. Additionally, it’s worth noting that these contrasting fibres inherit glow-in-the-dark elements to further create a dynamic profile in both daytime and nighttime conditions.

All adhered atop a two-tone rubber sole unit which also glows in the dark, particularly its frontal portion, the sneaker is finished off with matching rope style laces and branding on the side panels, as well as on the tongue tabs.
