I remember having a pair of Rod Lavers before I even knew who Rod Laver was. I’m not a fan of the shoe but it’s cool to see it return in an OG colorway with new materials.

The women’s adidas Originals Stan Smith receives another update this Spring/Summer 2016, as it’s rendered in a clean colorway of footwear white/ice mint.

Essentially maintaining its iconic and simplistic profile, the tennis sneaker’s upper bears a unique leather composition with embossed texture details throughout to exude more flair. Additionally, the component is rendered in ice mint, which emits a slightly greenish hue in various lightning.

Pristine white accents grace the heel tab, eyelets, inner lining and laces, while it’s finished off with a crisp, white rubber sole unit.

The adidas Ultra Boost continues to be one of the trefoil brand’s strongest offerings thanks to its crossover appeal in both the performance and lifestyle categories. The combination of Primeknit and Boost technology has been a winning formula that we expect adidas to stick with for the foreseeable future, but what’s next up for the Ultra Boost? While the Ultra Boost ST and Uncaged varieties have kept fans interested, there’s nothing like reverting back to the original and upping the ante with an awesome colorway. Look no further than this summer’s upcoming adidas Ultra Boost “Glow In The Dark”. The green glow feature was a not-so-hidden gem on the latest Yeezy 750 Boost release and know has found its way onto Primeknit. In normal light, the Ultra Boost showcases a tonal grey and clean white quality with just a hint of electric green threads. The shoe then transforms in the dark to show off that brilliant trait. What do you think? Stay tuned for a release date later this summer and we’ll keep you updated on more of adidas’ latest right here on Sneaker News.

I like the silhouette’s simple design and these colorways are pretty appealing. These should garner some attention. Both are solid offerings.

Since the creation of the Crazylight series, adidas Hoops has been stretching the limits of “lightweight” by creating high-performance basketball shoes that somehow weigh far less than what the competition is putting out there. Last year, the bridge between Crazylight and Boost cushioning was built, laying the groundwork for the Crazylight Boost 2016, which features the most Boost cushioning in any basketball shoe they’ve ever produced. Along with the heel-to-toe full-length Boost sole, the Crazylight Boost 2016 also features a stylish woven upper and herringbone traction to meet the needs of players like James Harden, Kyle Lowry, and Jeremy Lin. The Crazylight Boost 2016 will release on July 2nd in a red camo and white camo colorway for $120.

Other than the recent release of the adidas Yeezy Boost 750 Grey Gum, this forthcoming rendition of the Ultra Boost inherits glow-in-the-dark capabilities as well.

In normal lighting, the popular silhouette flaunts a color block grey/green finish across its primeknit upper, while tonal white accents are utilized for its signature lacing cage system and full-length sole unit.

The glowing element essentially covers the knitted upper to give the sneaker a dynamic look in the dark.

Looks promising. Not the best looking shoe when it comes to appearance, but the Boost and jacquard combination is a nice 1-2 combo.

Two distinct features that have recently appeared on the adidas Originals Superstar have now teamed up to give the model yet another brand new look on the classic adidas model.

The women’s Superstar comes in a predominantly all-Black nubuck upper. The same hue is placed on the laces, branding and lining. Creating some sharp contrast is the metal construction placed on the shell toe. Not only does the shell toe come in metal fashion, but adidas also gives it an iridescent look to give the shoe more of a bolder aesthetics. Said to already be available internationally, we will let you know when these drop in the states.

Women’s version of not, I don’t know if I’d wear these. The metal toe/iridescent look is a bit too much on the shoe and doesn’t appear to mesh well with the rest of the shoe.

If it’s an adidas silhouette complete with full-length Boost cushioning on the bottom, there’s going to be some interest. So goes the current trend in sneakers, where the technology holding down adidas Originals and performance models is one in the same. The adidas Pure Boost X is one of the latest silhouettes featuring performance tech with an aesthetic inspired by Yohji Yamamoto’s upscale adidas Y-3 line. This “Power Red” pair skips the simplicity for a dynamic graphic-heavy upper with photo-realistic flower petals found throughout. Get with us after the click for a full view of the latest adidas Boost offering and know that Rock City Kicks has this women’s exclusive in stock today for $120 USD.

Always the most prominent feature of the iconic adidas Superstar, there will definitely be no missing the shell toe on this latest “Metal Toe” version. The premium women’s edition of the Superstar features an all-black nubuck upper that gets some serious contrast for the shell toe, constructed with a vibrant iridescent metal for a bold and stylish look that makes the classic silhouette look anything but traditional. Lady Superstar fans can find the iridescent-toed colorway arriving at European shops now, and soon here in the US.

Aside from the adidas Originals 350 coming in the Black and White colorway, adidas will also be releasing a White and Navy Blue colorway. Looking to get a new adidas casual sneaker other than the Superstar and Stan Smith? This is definitely a shoe worth taking a look at.

The adidas 350 comes dressed in a premium leather upper done in an all-White colorway. The White upper comes with perforations on the toe to give it added breathability as well as it’s own look and feel. Gold trefoil branding appears on the heel and side panels, while the Navy Blue accented color can be seen on the Three Stripes and heel tab. A tonal textured tongue adds yet another dimension to the sleek looking shoe. Lastly, a White midsole and Gum herringbone outsole round out the look of the shoe. Releasing internationally, pick up this pair beginning June 16th.

Of the two pairs, this is the one that I like the most. If these were to drop in the states, I’d highly consider picking up a pair. I really like everything about this shoe.

The adidas Originals 350 is a lifestyle creation that’s set to release next week. One of the colorways set to drop is the Black and White colorway you see above.

Opting to go for a classic look and feel. Familiar adidas Originals features appear on the shoe such as the classic trefoil aesthetics and the Gold foil branding. This particular colorway has the shoe come in a Black perforated leather upper accented by the White hits placed on the Three Stripes and heel tab. An off-White midsole and a gum herringbone outsole is placed below. If you take a look at the tongue you will notice that it comes with a textured feel to help differentiate it from the rest of the upper. Slated to release on June 16th (internationally), let us know if you plan on picking up a pair.

To be quite honest, I actually prefer these over the Yeezy Boost 350. What?
