This Black, White And Gold adidas Ultra Boost Sample Blows Our Minds
By SoleInsider
Just when I thought we were done talking about black, white and gold tonight, here comes “another one”, as DJ Khaled would say.
Sporting a shiny gold metallic gold heel counter, this adidas Ultra Boost sample once again breathes a fresh new look to an instantly classic silhouette. It’s amazing what a few changes like that will do to a sneaker that we already feel is one of the best to come out of the three stripes in a very long time.
But of course, there’s a catch to all of this and that’s in the form of the black Primeknit upper. It could just be a less than stellar image quality, but the upper appears to use the same wavy pattern as other general release Ultra Boosts and judging from past releases, that’s not a good sign.
Now it could just be us jumping the gun on this and it’s actually a pure black Primeknit upper, so stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for more information on this release.
Juan Martinez, Editor-In-Chief: Take my money already, adidas. The gold heel is a great new wrinkle to the Ultra Boost, although I hope it’s a solid counter that won’t scratch or fade right away after multiple wears. I need those to stay shiny for well, forever. Hope that’s not too much to ask.

By SoleInsider
The adidas Ultra Boost continues to evolve and the beloved model tried on new color, patterns and motifs. This time around the shoe tries on a gradient-pattern on the upper by utilizing two colors to give it that effect.
The Ultra Boost has a Primeknit upper done up in a gradient pattern that pairs black and Solar Red together to give the it desired look. Additional hits of red can be seen on the laces as well as on the trim placed on the black heel counter. Completing the look is the white Boost midsole and red outsole. No release date yet, but feel free to let us know what you think about this new look on the Ultra Boost.
I like the gradient look on the upper, and I also like the color used on the outsole. Once again, adidas manages to give the Ultra Boost a brand new look and feel. Great work.

First Look At The Porsche Design x adidas Ultra Boost
By SoleInsider
Is it just me, or has the Ultra Boost taken a back seat to the adidas NMD these last couple of months? Whether that is true or not, there’s not doubt that people will be paying closer attention to the model as its about to collaborate with Porsche Design. Today we get an official look at the Porsche Design x adidas Ultra Boost.
Collaborations between Porsche Design and adidas is nothing new, but this is the first time that it has been done on the beloved Ultra Boost. Looking to implement their own clean and slick design on to the aesthetic of the shoe, the Porsche Design x adidas Ultra Boost manages to upgrade its look while still maintaining its function. New features on the shoe include the larger cage on the side panels that definitely give the shoe a sleeker and modern look. In addition, Porsche Design branding can be seen on the tongue and heel support. The all-black upper us accompanied by the all-white Boost midsole and black outsole combination. Like what you see? Expect for these to release sometime during the Spring.
The adidas Yeezy Boost 550 is slated to be the newest model set to come out of the adidas x Yeezy line. Although much talk and rumors have been centered around the shoe and when it could possibly release, nothing has been confirmed when it comes to what the shoe actually looks like or when it will release.
With that being said, we’ve seen plenty of pictures over the last few months that show a model rumored to be the 550 that closely resembles the Yeezy Boost 350. We even say French Montana rock a pair not too long ago. Could the shoe you see above be the rumored adidas Yeezy Boost 550? The shoe does share some of the same characteristics as the 350, with minor alterations such as the higher cut/tongue and the slightly altered sole unit. If these are in fact the 550s, are you looking forward to this potential release? Let us know in the comment below.
In my opinion, if these are the 550s, they look to similar to the 350s. Regardless, you know very well that they’re still going to fly off the shelves.

It’s cool to see the Chukka NMD utilize a Primeknit upper but I just don’t like the white colorway. Hopefully they release more colorways in the future.

Both of the colorways from the Geometric Camo Pack are pretty fresh that it’s hard to decide to which one I like better. The subtle camo print on the upper is a nice look.

Porsche Design got a chance to create their own installment of the adidas Ultra Boost, as the infamous sports car company revitalized the upper with unique black overlays that’s as far a departure from the usual Primeknit as possible. Unique waffle-iron like patterns hit throughout in a forward motion while nearly all three stripe branding is ditched for the ‘Porsche Design Sport’ callout. What do you think of Porshe’s take on Boost? Check out more detailed shots below and know that this pair will be available for purchase this Spring 2016 season.
The adidas NMD has been a dominant force in adidas Originals’ lineup throughout 2016, and this weekend the three stripes continues to bring the heat with two more monochromatic, understated Boost x Primeknit offerings. The adidas NMD_R1 “White” is sure to be one of the best releases of the weekend for its white on white approach as a combination mesh woven construction rests atop one of the most comfortable cushion systems in the industry. And if you’re worried that you’d get that crisp pair a bit too dirty too fast, adidas is also offering an all black upper (unfortunately, there’s none of that new black Boost available for this pair just yet). Check out a brief look below and let us know if you plan on picking up either NMD offering.
Doused in metallic copper, the sneaker’s leather upper emits a polished sheen to exude its clean profile, as well as its lavish design. Further continued on the tongue, smooth brown leather is utilized for the inner lining, while brown laces are also applied to complement the overall palette.
All supplemented atop a classic gum rubber sole unit to create an aesthetically pleasing style, the model is finished off with the Belgian fashion designer’s “R” gracing the side panels in perforations, alongside more branding on the tongue labels in contrasting white.
You can purchase this pair at select adidas retailers now for $400.
That price tag is a no for me, but this colorway is too nice. You can’t go wrong with the silhouette as well. This is an investment, but it also has resale value.

Adidas Skateboarding Introduces The adidas Matchcourt Slip
By SoleInsider
Adidas Skateboarding has just introduced a brand new silhouette with the adidas Matchcourt Slip. If this shoe looks familiar it’s because it’s a modified version of the adidas Matchcourt just without laces.
The new Matchcourt Slip is inspired by adidas? renowned heritage in tennis shoe design, yet customized to meet the performance demands of modern skateboarding. Taking a look at the shoe we can see that it features a clean upper with a durable rubber toe cap that creates a responsive fit. The molded PU sockliner increases protection while providing comfort and the longer-lasting double wrap vulcanized outsole construction paired with a sticky rubber facilitates great board feel and grip.
There will be three colorways kicking off the release of the new Matchcourt Slip, which will include black/white, black/black and white/white combinations.

I’m guessing adidas created this shoe to be the equivalent to the Vans Slip-On. People who really skateboard will appreciate this shoe and the $60 price tag will allow them to buy and skate in a pair without having to be too worried about messing them up.

Stella McCartney Has Created Another Colorway Of The adidas Ultra Boost
By SoleInsider
You may not know this, but one of the first ever partners that adidas ever collaborated with on the adidas Ultra Boost was Stella McCartney. Last year the two linked up to release a colorful rendition of the popular runner.
Now both parties have joined forces once again to release yet another colorway of the Ultra Boost. This Stella McCartney x adidas Ultra Boost features a White Primeknit upper with black overlays, pink laces, and orange detailing on the side panels. Other features include a grey heel counter, a mesh cage, white BOOST midsole and black rubber outsole.
If anyone is interested you can pick up a pair now from Stella McCartney’s website for a retail price of $260. Take a look at images of the shoe above and let us know your thoughts.
In my opinion there’s just too much going on with this Ultra Boost. Too many colors and the mesh cage on the side panels just make sit look like a different shoe. I’m not a fan of this Ultra Boost.
