In alignment with the Humanrace brand philosophy of creating products of value whose design is driven by a focus on materials and craft, the Humanrace Samba continues to incorporate premium ECCO leather sourced from the Netherlands, zig-zag stitching that contrasts the three stripes, and a monochromatic suede toe-cap to compliment the upper construction.

This is twinned with the history of the Samba, creating a product for everyday use, that is for now and the future?, says Edward Robinson, Humanrace Creative Director.

If you were hoping to get your hands on some new adidas Yeezys this fall/holiday season well there’s been a change of plans as adidas has cancelled any adidas Yeezy releases indefinitely. According to Brendan Dunne of Complex, the brand had planned to bring more adidas Yeezys to market starting in November, but according to an internal Adidas memo from last week that was shared with Complex, the release of the next wave of Yeezys is on pause. The drop was set to include the ?Bone,? ?Onyx,? and ?Zebra? colorways of the Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2. Adidas? Yeezy 500 and 700 models were also included in the group.

?As a brand we will not do a new drop for the remainder of the year both for our internal e-com and retail as well as wholesale,? Adidas? message reads. ?We will not be shipping out any new stock, this direction was given at the board level.”

One store owner that carries adidas Yeezy product speculates that adidas made this decision to avoid potential backlash. Due to the war between Israel and Hamas, adidas found it too risky to release a new batch of product associated with an artist who has a recent history of antisemitic comments.

No word yet on when the adidas Yeezy releases will continue but we’ll be sure to keep you updated here at Kicks On Fire.
