How do you undermine the release of one of the most popular Air Jordans of all time? In 2016, the answer to that would have been “drop a Yeezy” on the same weekend. But thanks to a super limited release of a model that is starting to gain in popularity in the Air Jordan XX3, it looks like some sneakerheads might be distracted on their way to the Flu Game 12s. That’s good news for those who only want the Flu Games, but if you live overseas, you might see that your options are a little tougher, as two highly anticipated adidas NMDs are dropping (or have dropped depending on when you read this) as well.

Air Jordan 12 Flu Game

Juan Martinez, Editor-In-Chief: (GOT ‘EM) It deserves all the hype and praise it gets. Is it better than the OG and the subsequent retros? I don’t know and quite honestly, I don’t care at this point. It’s a pair I’ve wanted for a long time, the quality is where it needs to be and now I have it. Zero complaints.

Renz Ofiaza, News: (BUY) I briefly owned the 2009 pair, but I’ve been looking forward to its OG release. Hopefully stock won’t be that limited since full family sizes are offered as well.

Juan Carrillo, News: (BUY) It’s a toss up between these and the French Blues when it comes to which is the best colorway of the Air Jordan 12. Either way, this is considered one of the best Jordan drops of the year. I’ll take one please.

Andres Carrillo, News: (BUY) I picked up the Air Jordan 12 French Blue and I was extremely happy with those. These Flu Games look even better! Cant’ wait to pick these up.

adidas NMD White (Worldwide Everywhere Except The U.S.)

EIC Juan: (PASS) They look great and if I lived in a world where dirt didn’t exist, I would totally buy a pair. But I don’t live in that world and combine that with my loathing for dirt marks (I’ve made my peace with white Boost soles) on my kicks and it’s a pass.

Renz: (BUY) I’ve been a fan of the silhouette since its inception. I missed out on the OG black pair so hopefully my luck will change once it arrives in the U.S. (If I miss out overseas).

News Juan: (PASS) Sure, the all-White pair is clean, when new. After a few wears, dirt and dust begin to pile, then you end up having beige colored NMDs. This shoe it too high maintenance for me to get a pair. It’s a pass.

Andres: (PASS) Even though these white NMDs only release overseas for now, they’re a pass for me. I just can’t do white Primeknit/Flyknit sneakers. Too hard to keep clean.

adidas NMD City Sock (Ditto)

EIC Juan: (WAIT) I need to try them on before I can cop. The upper reminds me of the Tubular Primeknit sans the cage and if the two are comparable comfort and fit wise, then these become a must-buy.

Renz: (BUY) I do admire the chukka-esque design. In this colorway, it’s pretty versatile and stylish. I just really like the clean, minimalist look altogether.

News Juan: (PASS) The City Sock version of the NMD is not a style I’m particularly fond of. It literally looks like a sock to me. It’s not really my kind of shoe, especially at that price.

Andres: (PASS) I haven’t picked up a pair of NMDs yet but when I do I don’t think it’ll be a City Sock version. Unless these look so much better in person, I can’t see myself rocking a pair.

Air Jordan XX3 Trophy Room Black

EIC Juan: (BUY) It’s black, white and gold, what’s not to love? I will admit to being dead wrong about the Air Jordan XX3 as the model has (wait for it…) grown on me (ugh…). Now I’m on a vision quest to cop as many pairs as I can. This one is a long shot since they’re super limited, but one can hope, right?

Renz: (PASS) Years ago, I never paid attention to this silhouette. I guess as time passes and my taste palette changes, I appreciate it a bit more. I think the design is pretty solid but I’m not a fan of the patterned upper.

News Juan: (BUY) Before the Jordan 23 was announced that it was going to release, I was already searching for a pair of old colorways online. I’ve always liked this model and was looking to scoop up a pair at a discounted price. Seeing that these are $275, my plan will continue to search for a Jordan 23 online at a far more reasonable price. I just want a Jordan 23, it doesn’t have to be in this colorway.

Andres: (PASS) The Air Jordan 23 is one of those Air Jordan silhouettes that I’ve always admired from afar because of how expensive and hard it is to find a pair in good condition. $275 for these? Nah, I’m good. Plus what’s the chance of me even being able to grab a pair at retail. Slim to none.

Under Armour Curry Two Red, White And Blue

EIC Juan: (WAIT) We’re just now starting to see some Currys sit on shelves and this will be a great cop when it drops in price. Kind of wish it was done in the low-cut style though so I can wear them casually as well. Yeah, I wear Currys casually, what?

Renz: (PASS) I like the silhouette but I haven’t been really tempted to purchase the pair, aside from the upcoming black/gold colorway from the MVP Back 2 Back pack. The overall theme on this pair is solid though.

News Juan: (WAIT) One of the nicer colorways I’ve seen on the UA Curry Two. The Red, White and Blue look is done right on the shoe. I don’t see these selling out, so I’ma take a risk and see if I can grab them under $100.

Andres: (PASS) A little early for the 4th of July/USA themed sneakers isn’t it? We’re still in May! Not a bad colorway of the Curry Two but I’m jut not real big on red, white and blue kicks.

The adidas NMD City Sock in Black will be making its arrival overseas first starting this weekend, as a lifestyle editorial of the silhouette is now revealed.

As suggested, the defining hue essentially covers its breathable and flexible primeknit textile upper. The sleek mid-cut design is nicely supplemented with a crisp, white full-length boost sole unit, which is equipped with the distinctive EVA plugs in black and blue to finish off the composition.

Other notable details include distinctive branding on the heel pull tabs and numbering across its inner lateral midsection.

You can never go wrong with this silhouette. I like the overall colorway, but the printed detail, not so much. It’s still a solid offering though.

Adidas will be giving the adidas Gazelle a makeover to make it look like the original. Huh? I guess you can call it a remastered initiative as adidas is expected to use new materials and a somewhat of a new design to make it resemble the original Gazelle that first appeared back in the 60’s.

The new “remastered” version of the Gazelle will feature a new vintage suede upper, an off-white rubber sole and leather serrated 3-Stripes to give it that classic look that people first fell in love with.

The new adidas Gazelle is expected to begin releasing during the first week of June in more than 50 different colorways. Each pair will retail for $80 with a few of the first colorways pictured above. Are you excited about this new/old version of the adidas Gazelle releasing?

The adidas Originals Gazelle was considered a banger back in the 90s. Looking to make an impact once more, adidas has decided to bring back this classic model. One of the first offerings the silhouette will have to offer is by way of the adidas Originals Gazelle Vintage Suede Pack.

Consisting of three different colorways, the shoes will come constructed out of a vintage suede upper done in Navy, Forest Green and Grey. The tonal looks is broken up by the White hits placed on the Three Stripes, tongue and leather heel tab. Gold “Gazelle” branding is placed in the side panels, while the off-white sole unit give the shoe its vintage aesthetic.

Introducing the shoe of Summer 2016. The adidas NMD_R1 Primeknit has managed to captivate quite the audience thanks to its lightweight and comfortable slip-on woven upper, patented Boost cushioning system, and just the right amount of vibrant pops along the unique midsole unit for a truly unique aesthetic. While the NMD series has expanded with the likes of Chukkas and City Socks, there’s nothing like an original. The “OG White” colorway almost hits Triple White territory if it weren’t for the bright hits of red and royal alongside an array of world language branding on the heel tab in a contrasting black. The NMD has managed to take everything that’s gone into adidas Originals’ dominant resurgence and put that thought process into one sleek design – the only problem will be grabbing a pair for yourself at retail. Check out a better view below and while this pristine adidas NMD is slated to release this Saturday, May 28th at select overseas retailers, stay tuned for a stateside release date in the near future right here on Sneaker News.

The Oklahoma City Thunder and their fans are on cloud 9 right now as they took Game 4  in the Western Conference Finals against the Golden State Warriors last night to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the series. Kevin Durant may be signed to Nike and Russell Westbrook to Jordan Brand, but it appears that adidas is showing them some love.

A new colorway of the adidas Ultra Boost ST has just surfaced which features a White Primeknit upper with blue detailing on the inner liner, midsole, and outsole, and red/orange accents on the tongue. It’s almost as if these Ultra Boosts were made for the Thunder. Even though this is probably just a coincidence, the timing couldn’t be any better.

Look for this OKC-inspired colorway of the adidas Ultra Boost ST at select adidas retailers now for a retail price of $180.

If I were an OKC fan I would buy these bad boys and rock them for when the Thunder play in the NBA Finals.

This weekend we’ll be seeing the release of the white adidas NMD at select overseas retailers. This colorway is pretty much the same as the very first pair that released but instead of coming with a Black upper this time adidas covers the runner in white.

If you live in the states like us then you’ll have to wait until mid-Summer 2016 to get your hands on a pair (unless you have the overseas plug). But people across the world, like in Malaysia, are looking forward to the release this weekend. In the images above we see people camping out for the crispy pair of white NMDs at One Utama Shopping Center in Malaysia. According to the person who posted this picture, these people have been lining up since Tuesday and the shoes don’t release until Saturday.

Is this getting out of control or do you think the hype around the adidas NMD is justified?
