The adidas EQT Support ADV Triple Black Looks Amazing On-Feet
By SoleInsider
Now that you’ve had several days to sit on it, what are your thoughts on the adidas EQT Support ADV? The latest Three Stripes model made its debut last week and for the most part, everyone seems to be really diggin’ it. One of the colorways that dropped at select retailers is the Triple Black colorway you see above.
The adidas EQT Support ADV Triple Black takes the stealth route as the Black hue takes care of the shoe from head to toe. What really makes this shoe so special is the perfect blend of classic and modern features. The shoe comes equipped with a mesh upper which makes the shoe breathable and lightweight. Joining the mesh construction is the translucent heel cage that ends up sitting on top of a redesigned midsole that helps give the shoe it’s modern aesthetic. The shoe is already available in the states, but international retailers will begin to receive them on July 1st. Retailing for $140, did you manage to pick up a pair?
Look For The adidas Originals Stan Smith Monochrome Primeknit Pack Next Month
By SoleInsider
In addition to the OG Primeknit Pack, adidas will be releasing another trio of Stan Smiths that also utilizes Primeknit uppers.
Known as the adidas Originals Stan Smith Monochrome Primeknit Pack, this collection strays away from the white Primeknit uppers and instead goes with some color on the upper. The tonal color options include pink, teal, and navy. Not only is the Primeknit upper done in tonal hues, but the laces, inner liner, midsole, tongue and heel tab have all been covered in the same color.
Look for the adidas Originals Stan Smith Monochrome Primeknit Pack at select adidas retailers beginning on July 15th for $110 each. Which pair will you be looking to cop?

The colored Primeknit uppers on these Stan Smiths look pretty clean. I’m kinda feeling the navy pair.

One Year Later: The adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Turtle Dove Transcends
By SoleInsider
On June 27, 2015, the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Turtle Dove launched. In the time since, the following people have asked me if I can get adidas to hook them up with a pair, probably because they think “sneaker blogging” is synonymous with “sneaker connect” or something like that:
My cousin who loves Kim Kardashian and thinks Kanye is cute
My aunt who only sees Kanye on Keeping Up With The Kardashians
Countless friends who have significant others that “love tennis shoes”
My dad (he just wants to troll)
My mom (she tried on my pair and loved it)
People on Twitter and Instagram who know me as KicksOnFire EIC
D-List celebrities
People who work for other brands
I’ve had people ask me for Yeezys of all kinds for years. It’s not all that surprising to get an email, DM or text every few days from somebody I haven’t heard from in a while asking when either the next pair is dropping or if I can get them on a seeding list despite not having any sort of influence or notoriety. In some small way, it’s cool that other people think you’re in the kind of position that allows them the chance to get Yeezys – even if that’s far from the truth – but one thing I’m sure of is that this was not the case when Kanye was at Nike.
The adidas Yeezy 350 Boost is different from Nike Air Yeezys and even the adidas Yeezy 750 Boost. Yes, their arrivals were hyped to the moon and any sneakerhead would love to own them either to have for bragging rights or to resell down the line. The random non-sneakerhead might ask about the Nike Yeezys or the 750, but it was more of a passing curiosity than actual interest. But it wasn’t just sneakerheads pining for a pair of the 350 Turtle Doves and every pair since, it was the blue ocean.
The Nike Air Yeezys had a fashion tilt to them to be sure, but they were unabashedly a Nike product and that comes with all the “athlete” connotations that go with it. The adidas Yeezy 750 might be popular as hell, but they’re not the most versatile shoes in anybody’s collection. Those products were targeted to very specific audiences who ate up whatever limited pairs that were available. They weren’t for everybody.
The joke is that adidas Yeezy Boost 350 are adidas Roshes, but therein lies the appeal. They might be afterthoughts now, but the Nike Roshe Run/One was a breakout hit for the swoosh because of their simple look, comfortable feel and budget-conscious price. If you can find them, the inviting Primeknit upper, the loose fit and the comfortable Boost cushioning made the Yeezy Boost 350 was “cool” in a way the Roshe never was. They’re certainly not “dad shoes” like what the Under Armour Curry Two Chef became. The Turtle Dove was perfect for the summer (releasing them in June probably wasn’t a coincidence), but they could also be worn in the fall, summer and spring (the other 350 colorways like the Pirate Black and Moonrock were equally versatile). The lack of obvious adidas or Yeezy branding also contributed to the shoe’s appeal especially to those who loathe the habit of repping brands. A sneakerhead might not think twice about wearing Nike or adidas from head to toe and looking like a giant billboard, but most people aren’t like that.
Sadly, not everybody can get a pair of Yeezy 350s, but everybody can pull off wearing a pair of Yeezy 350s. And those that couldn’t buy the 350s ended buying Ultra Boosts, NMDs and even the recent AlphaBOUNCE Motion Capture colorway that had more than one person asking me if those were the “new Yeezys”. The Yeezy 350 transcended and made people pay notice to other things adidas had to offer that were similar and arguably better. Maybe the Ultra Boost and the NMD were going to be crossover hits regardless of whether or not Kanye wore them, but the combo of Primeknit and Boost was popularized by the Yeezy 350 did more to attract than detract.
Kanye gifting Yeezys to some old guy…
The future of the Yeezy Boost 350 is brighter than anything else Kanye and adidas has coming down the line. At some point, they have to become general release kicks like most Jordan retros and sit on stores for anybody who wants to buy them. It’s bound to happen as long as Kanye doesn’t go full Kanye and burns bridges like he did at Nike. As we all know, Kanye wants to be the guy that shocks and awes like he when he dropped the visuals music video (I’m old, dammit, it’s music video) for “Famous” but he also wants to get to Ralph level and all that entails, including outlet stores at Ontario Mills. One way to do that is make his most transcendent shoe available to everybody. Because you know, it’s nice to want things…
adidas Pays Tribute To The Gazelle With A Remember the Future Campaign featuring Kate Moss
By SoleInsider
First introduced in the 1960s, adidas is celebrating the re-launch of its iconic Gazelle silhouette with a global collaboration featuring artist, Doug Abraham, better known as @bessnyc4, as well as iconic British supermodel — Kate Moss.
Using a vintage photograph from 1993 of Moss wearing the sneaker, Abraham?s new era creative medium reinvents a new visual commentary which encompasses the re-appropriation of fashion, while the sneaker’s timeless look exemplifies its legacy.
?Collective memory provides us with the inspiration to create our future?, says Nic Galway, VP of Global Design, adidas Originals. ?With the re-launch of Gazelle, we looked to the original cultural references that defined the authenticity of the style. Kate Moss has always had a connection to the adidas Originals brand and her affection for Gazelle during the ?90s is a testament to the ways the silhouette has been adopted into style and pop culture.?
Additional detailed imagery of the newly adidas Y-3 Noci 0003 is showcased, as it’s the latest creation from Yohji Yamamoto and the German sportswear label’s premier Y-3 line.
Based on a concept of a rugged space hiker, the silhouette is defined by its extended ankle support and futuristic sensibilities. Breathable air mesh combined with soft leather comprises its construction, while foot protection is given through moulded TPU welds in the heel and toe area. Furthermore, closure options with a minimal lacing and zip fastening system offers superb lockdown and support.
All resting atop a futuristic take of the sole unit in contrasting white with red accents, you can find this pair at select adidas Y-3 stockists now for a price tag of $420.

The adidas NMD R1 Primeknit Will Feature More Patterns Soon
By SoleInsider
Arguably the most coveted sneaker of 2016 will get a swift upgrade based on this preview image of upcoming drops for Fall/Winter 2016. The adidas NMD R1 Primeknit, which has been predominantly released in tonal and stitch camo colorways, will take on different patterns of Primeknit uppers with different colored NMD blocks on the midsole. So far, the only confirmed adidas NMD R1 PK releases are the all-white “OG” flip for mid July and the NMD restock, so these previewed colorways could be what you should expect next. Stay tuned for updates.
The Nike Air Yeezys had a fashion tilt to them to be sure, but they were unabashedly a Nike product and that comes with all the “athlete” connotations that go with it. The adidas Yeezy 750 might be popular as hell, but they’re not the most versatile shoes in anybody’s collection.
