Easter is only three days away and adidas took the time today to officially unveil their 2016 Easter Basketball Collection.

Consisting of the adidas D Lillard 2, and two colorways of the adidas Crazylight Boost 2.5, the adidas Basketball Easter 2016 Collection is inspired by the tradition of dyed eggs on Easter Sunday. 

Let’s start off with the Crazylight Boost 2.5 PE colorways. The first Crazylight Boost 2.5 was designed for Andrew Wiggins and comes white and gray Primeknit threads that deliver a gradient fade along the upper. A unique Easter egg graphic print lands on the forefoot treated with a gloss finish. Light gray accents are paired with pops of pink on the outsole, three stripes, laces and custom ?AW? wordmark. Next is the 2nd Crazylight Boost 2.5 that was designed for James Harden. This colorway shades of haze salmon and features a multi-layered upper with structural textures and soft, premium leather along the forefoot to deliver a lux finish. There isn’t too much that screams Easter on this pair with the exception of Light pink hits are featured on the laces and custom ?13? wordmark. Harden will debut this Crazylight 2.5 when the Rockets face the Pacers on March 27.

Next is the D Lillard 2 which comes with a dyed Easter egg graphic print on the upper, while its mesh paneling, laces and Dame logos are designed in traditional pink pastel hues. To round out the Easter tribute, white details are contrasted by light blue accents on the TECHFIT bootie, outsole and midsole splatter pattern.

The D Lillard 2 ($105) and Andrew Wiggins Crazylight Boost 2.5 PE ($130) release March 27 at adidas.com.

Author’s Take

The Easter egg dye print on the D Lillard 2 and Andrew Wiggins Crazylight Boost 2.5 definitely capture the theme of Easter. If I had to pick one I’d go with the Crazylight Boosy 2.5 because of the Primeknit upper.

Using cork on a sneaker is nothing new, but for the most part adidas is not the one doing it, until now. Check out this luxe version of the adidas Originals Stan Smith Luxe utilizing a cork midsole to give the model a distinguished look.

The upper of the Stan Smith appears to remain true to form as a white leather is accompanied by the perforations acting as the Three Stripes branding and the hits of Fairway Green noted on the heel tab of the shoe. What really gives the shoe some pop is the cork constructed midsole found below. Tonal branding on the tongue, a set of white laces and eyelets round up the aesthetics of the shoe. Available now internationally, we will let you know when these drop stateside.

Author’s Take

I thought cork was cool when it initially dropped on the LeBron model, but I’m a bit over it now. In my opinion, adidas arrived late to the cork trend.

Is a shoe that released back in the 2000’s already considered a “classic”. If so, the classic adidas ClimaCool is set to be back in action sooner than you think. Considered to be one of the best running shoes that adidas had to offer during the 2000s, adidas has decided to bring it back starting with three tonal offerings.

As mentioned above, the ClimaCool will be reintroduced beginning with three tonal colorways, the one pictured above happens to be the all-red version. The mesh constructed upper is accompanied by the clear caging system found on the midfoot of the shoe. Patent leather appears to covers the eyestay, while the toecap comes with additional padding for added durability. Slated to release April 2, are you looking to pick up a pair?

It’s cool, but if adidas ever decided to put Boost on the model, I’d be all on it. Hope you’re reading this, adidas.

Last December, adidas Skateboarding added a contemporary touch to the Matchcourt by adding a rubberized toe-cap on the shoe – a direct response to the desires of the athletes on its skate team. For the Summer, adidas is making yet another transformation to the silhouette by cutting it down into a slip-on style; the slip-on aesthetic is already established within Summer trends, but adidas’ take on it combines sport-ready features like the toe-box as well as the proper cushioning needed for skating. Cop any of the three available colorways at adidas Skateboarding retailers in-store and online beginning on April 1st; each pair retails for just $60.

The 39th Annual McDonald?s All American Games are only one week away as they’ll be taking place on March 30th at Chicago?s United Center. Today adidas took the time to unveil their uniforms and sneakers that the rising basketball stars will be wearing for the big games.

The men?s collection features a three color uniform system that incorporates black and white sleeved jerseys with red accents, color-blocked game shorts and a nod to the uniforms of Chicago?s professional sports teams with pinstripe detailing. Constructed with 3M reflective materials, the jersey name and layered-numbering are hit with a metallic finish. The shorts are designed with an enlarged star and McDonald?s logo on the right leg and a graphic print on the underside of the waistband that reads ?All American? when rolled up. The women?s collection is comprised of red and white jerseys with black accents and features diagonal pinstripes along the racerback top and short bottom, pops of color on the jersey collar and reflective name and numbers.

Adidas has also created jersey’s for this year’s POWERADE Jam Fest which will take place on March 28th at the Chicago Theatre. The uniforms feature a combination of black, yellow and white with reflective detailing and McDonalds golden arches branding.

As far as the sneakers go, players will lace-up the adidas D Lillard 2 and the adidas D Rose 6 that feature red, black and white Primeknit uppers. Each pair also comes with yellow accents and a camo-print outsole along with the McDonald?s All American Games logo on the tongue.

Japan based United Arrows recently revealed their latest collaboration with the Three Stripes. No it’s not done on the Superstar or the Stan Smith, instead they opt to go with the adidas Originals Tobacco.

The United Arrows x adidas Originals Tobacco comes dressed in a tonal upper constructed out of a navy colored suede construction. Adding to the monochromatic look of the shoe is the tonal branding placed on the tongue, side panels and heel tab. A navy colored sole unit and matching inner lining complete the look of the shoe. Expect this collaboration to release March 28th as a Japan exclusive for around $142.

Author’s Take

It’s a simple and subtle type of collaboration. Nothing really to go over being that it’s just a tonal suede upper. If you like this type of look you will probably like this shoe. Too bad it’s a Japan exclusive.

Did you miss out on picking up a pair of the adidas NMD models that dropped last week? If you did (like I did), you will have another chance to pick up a pair this weekend as adidas is set to release the adidas NMD Mesh Monochrome Pack.

Two mesh-covered NMD models make up the monochrome pack. The first pair comes in an all-white mesh upper complimented by the tonal branding hits and accents. The tonal look of the shoe is completed by adding an all white Boost sole unit. The second pairs comes in an all-black motif contrasted by the white Boost sole unit. Being that they’re constructed out of mesh and not Primeknit, these will only set you back $120. If you’re looking to pick up a pair, make sure you act fast because just like last weeks releases, these are defintiely not going to sit. Release date is March 26th.

The black pair is pretty sweet. Price point is decent as well. If you missed out on last weeks releases, consider this your second chance.

It looks as if adidas has decided to bring back the adidas ZX Flux Slip On. It’s been a cool minutes since we’ve all been able to get a fresh pair, but we won’t have to wait much longer to do so as two brand new tonal colorways are on the way.

The slip on version of the ZX Flux model comes constructed out of a breathable mesh upper that makes it a fresh option for the current season. The first two colorways you will be able to choose from include the “Running White” and “Collegiate Navy” option. Two tonal elastic straps appear on the midfoot while a tonal suede heel counter complete the major features on the upper. Both colorways will come with a white sole unit equipped with TORSION technology. Available now internationally, expect these to arrive stateside in the near future.

Author’s Take

It’s not a bad looking shoe at all. I think I actually prefer it over the regular ZX Flux. I probably wouldn’t pay retail, but if I can get them for cheap, I’d be all up on them.

After giving you a look at the tonal grey colorway of the adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged late last week, fans of the newly altered silhouette should be happy to know that there will be more colorways releasing in the future.

Also releasing as part of the Spring 2016 lineup will be this bright red colorway of the adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged. As you can see the entire Primeknit upper is done in bright red with the heel counter providing some contrast as it’s done in black. The BOOST midsole is done in white while the rubber outsole remains black.

No exact release date is known yet but keep it locked to Kicks On Fire for any and all updates.

Author’s Take

This looks more like a red orange colorway. Personally I would have liked to see it done in a darker shade of red with some more black detailing.

The sneaker world is a little bit different now that we have the adidas NMD in our lives. The casual equivalent of the popular Ultra Boost and a cheaper alternative to the much-hyped adidas Yeezy Boost, the NMD hits that sweet spot for those who want a pair of Boost sneakers that they can walk around in and not look totally like a hypebeast. After the success of NMDday last week that included multiple drops of the NMD in all styles, the Olive Camo is dropping on March 23 just the way we like it: Primeknit in a colorway that many people can get behind.
