#KoFBestOf2016: Ranking The adidas Yeezy Ls We Took This Year
By SoleInsider
I almost failed on every single Yeezy release this year and it’s a little disappointing. This is not some sort of pity play on my part because nearly everybody I know that wasn’t connected to a retailer or adidas directly suffered a similar fate. Rather, the disappointment is a feeling of missed opportunity that nobody took advantage of. Instead of finally giving in to the multitude of times Kanye promised that there would be Yeezys for everybody, instead we got a multitude of Sadderdays as the year went along. From so-called increases in production numbers to raffles protecting customers to apps that determined a person’s worthiness to cop a pair by geography, there were plenty of ways to score Yeezys, but often times we came up short. So instead of your typical ranking of the sneakers in the form of a Top 10 list, here’s a totally unscientific examination of just how bummed out we were with each drop and subsequent L with adidas Yeezys this year as #KoFBestOf2016 continues.
adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Pirate Black
Level Of Disappointment: “Facts”
The adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Pirate Black dropped in 2015 to much praise and made a return earlier this year got plenty of people hyped – some even erroneously consider it superior to the iconic Turtle Dove colorway – but it left others bummed that it wasn’t an altered shoe or a new colorway altogether.
“Facts” was released in 2015 – December 31st to be exact – to much adoration from the Kanye fans. But after multiple listens and a remix that appeared on the actual The Life Of Pablo album in the following months, it didn’t stand up to scrutiny, especially compared to other opening salvos in Kanye’s history.
The lesson? Don’t break out leftovers or half-baked ideas and expect people to keep coming back. The fans will be chipped away each time. See Jordan retros as proof…

Level Of Disappointment: Anytime Kanye Is On Keeping Up With The Kardashians
Snarky tweets about vapid celebrity culture aside, Kanye and Kim have a family just like all of us do and they choose to show it for the world to see. Like the Yeezy 750s, I’m not a fan of any of it, so whenever a new one comes out, I treat it with the same amount of f**ks given as a non-life threatening development on their reality show. Basically, ¯\_(?)_/¯

Level Of Disappointment: Kanye Cancelling His Saint Pablo Tour
It’s a level of disappointment that you can’t be too upset about because the man is clearly going through some issues, but it’s still disappointing nonetheless if you’re a fan that’s been waiting months for the literal Kanye platform to come to your city, most pit and all. The silver lining is that Kanye will more than likely “get it together” and continue touring in the future.
I wanted to cop a pair of the Black/White 350 V2 but I wasn’t too bummed out about it because I knew that out of all the V2s that have dropped so far, this was the one that will most likely get a restock a la the Pirate Black down the line. Hopefully the white stripe is a little more white the next time around though…

Level Of Disappointment: Kanye Tour Merch/Yeezy Apparel
Dropping three colorways of the Yeezy 350 V2 in one day might sound like a great idea at first, but to me it felt like it was cheapening the silhouette and the brand to a certain extent, especially when the differences were so minute and the production numbers were still limited. It’s a lot like when you get hyped for the latest Kanye tour merchandise or Yeezy Season but then you see that the prices are way out of proportion to the quality (word to Gildan) or the design is a little too drab to be wearable outside of a concert. I might be crazy here, but I miss the old Kanye tour merch with the Graduation Bear that you could actually wear after the show and not look too much like a stan.

Level Of Disappointment: Kanye Trying To Mess Up Kylie Jenner’s PUMA Deal
I don’t play football, but I wanted a pair of those Yeezy cleats for posterity. It was a game-changing moment that should have opened the doors for the NFL to be a little more open-minded like the NBA is with their kicks, but as soon DeAndre Hopkins scored a touchdown in his 350s, the No Fun League decided to live up to their name. I guess unless your name is Dak Prescott and your 750s kind of sort of match your Cowboys uniform, Yeezys are off limits. Why can’t we let people be great?
Earlier this year, Kanye got involved in some NFL level of pettiness when he expressed his displeasure with Kylie Jenner signing an endorsement deal with PUMA. Unlike the NFL, it comes from a fair place, as Kanye seemed to position Kylie as a prominent part of his Yeezy deal with adidas. But did we have to know about it and was it really necessary to have that aired out on Twitter for the world to read about? Shouldn’t this have stayed a conversation between family? Not all “Family Business” needs to be out there…
adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Beluga
Level Of Disappointment: “Fixing” The Life Of Pablo
I don’t think I’ll be listening to The Life Of Pablo all that much in 2017. Honestly, I haven’t heard much of TLOP after it first came out. It was an album that happened – a moment in time if you will (Dusty Rhodes voice) – and that should have been the end of it. Instead, we get Kanye coming out saying that he’s going to fix certain tracks of the album, creating what is essentially an “Early Access” version of TLOP not unlike when you pay for unfinished PC games on platforms like Steam. I’m a proponent of artists having the right to go back to previous works and “fixing” them, but only if they were finished products in the first place and we still have access to the “broken” version. So when Kanye finished up “Wolves” or added new stuff to “Ultralight Beam”, I want to be able to listen to all versions of the track.
I love everything about the Beluga colorway of the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 except for one glaring sore spot: the “SPLY-350” wording on the Solar Red stripe. Without the branding, the shoe is almost perfect. With it, it’s a pair I want to wear all the time but can’t because the damn thing is so annoying. I would love to own a “fixed” or sample version that didn’t have the wording on there, but I also wouldn’t want adidas to come at me and say “please return your Belugas and we’ll send you the new version” either. The shoe happened, we aired our grievances what we like and don’t like about it. They fix it, it’s fine. If not, we’ll live too.

Level Of Disappointment: The Trump Meeting
This was the worst L of them all. I wanted these baby Yeezys for my godson badly that I made multiple attempts to score a pair but to no avail. Maybe it was for the best because after seeing ‘Ye walk out of Trump Tower with the PEOTUS, I wouldn’t want my kid to be associated with that stuff, even tangentially and especially since he is just a kid with zero awareness yet.
adidas Dropped The Ultra Boost 3.0 Chinese New Year In Quickstrike Fashion Today
By SoleInsider
adidas surprised everyone with an end of year special by releasing one of the most sought after adidas Ultra Boost pairs of the year, even though they were expected to launch come January 2017, with the adidas Ultra Boost 3.0 Chinese New Year Quickstrike. The Multi-Color Primeknit option sold out in minutes on adidas.com and even released on a first come first serve basis at the new adidas 5th Avenue flagship and at adidas SoHo, proving that brands are still capable of major surprises today even with everyone keeping an ear to the ground and anticipating upcoming releases.
So were you lucky enough to grab a pair? All that we can do now is sit back and hope for an official re-stock of what was an incredibly limited run of the adidas Ultra Boost 3.0 “Chinese New Year” come 2017, but if you can’t wait until then, know that you can find your pair right now on eBay and on Stadium Goods.
The adidas Ultra Boost ATR Mid Primeknit Arrives In 2017
By SoleInsider
Introduced months earlier, the adidas Ultra Boost ATR, or essentially All-Terrain, is now featured in a new colorway and mid-top profile that is scheduled to release next year.
Revamped with a much sturdier and durable primeknit construction, in addition to receiving a water-resistant layer to help keep your feet dry against the elements — the composition, extended sock-like collar and TPU-reinforcing heel counter are all draped in tonal grey.
Completing the sleek and versatile design is a contrasting white boost sole unit and black rugged outsole.
Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for an official release date, which is set for early 2017.
January 1st is going to bring an onslaught of new adidas Ultra Boost colorways (more on that here) but we’re still getting previews on more upcoming Spring 2017 offerings featuring restructured Primeknit, transparent three stripe cage overlays, and a number of new patterns on the woven upper for good measure. Today we get a preview of the upcoming adidas Ultra Boost 3.0 “Oreo”, a pair that boasts the perfect combination of a light grey upper with black stripes throughout to match the striped laces for a unique take on the instant classic running model.
The adidas Ultra Boost 3.0 Oreo manages to keep the traditional black heel panels intact with chrome ‘Ultra Boost’ branding but a detail that should stand out on this pair is the lack of color in the translucent three stripe cage overlay. The lack of depth manages to contrast the striped upper throughout for a head-turning look perfect for any occasion. What do you think of the adidas Ultra Boost 3.0 Oreo? Check out more detailed images below and stay tuned for a Release Date sometime in early 2017.
The adidas ACE 16+ PureControl Ultra Boost Triple Black Debuts Next Year
By SoleInsider
Last offered in grey camo and black/red, the newly-introduced adidas Ace 16+ PureControl Ultra Boost is previewed in another forthcoming colorway, this time draped in the ubiquitous triple black color scheme.
The soccer boot/sneaker hybrid has certainly been quite difficult to attain due to its limited production. Defined by its breathable primeknit upper and boost sole unit — all of which is covered in black — the laceless design is also detailed with an extended collar, TPU reinforcing heel counter and enlarged three stripe branding gracing the side panels.
With its suggested retail price listed at $200, this pair is scheduled to debut at select adidas retailers starting Spring 2017.
A Closer Look At The adidas Ultra Boost ATR Mid Primeknit
By SoleInsider
The adidas Ultra Boost officially went to the mid-cut heights, with Ronnie Fieg’s “Aspen” collaboration introducing the revised silhouette to the masses. This version you see here is the adidas Ultra Boost ATR Mid Primeknit, which features a higher ankle collar and the Ultra Boost 3.0 Primeknit ribbing on the upper. ATR, which signifies All-Terrain, suggests that the shoes are built for outdoor use, which is additionally made evident by the bulkier rubber outsole. A release date hasn’t been confirmed just yet, but expect the Ultra Boost ATR Mid PK to release early in 2017.
Not to be confused with the Grey pair that dropped earlier this month, this pair differentiates itself by coming with a different print on the Primeknit upper and a different (contrasting) color used on the heel cup. The cage comes in tonal fashion, and the Boost midsole comes in White. No exact release date yet, but expect these to drop Spring of 2017. Are you looking to cop? Let us know in the comments below.
German Special Forces Is The Inspiration Behind The adidas GSG 9.3 Combat Boot
By SoleInsider
Check out the adidas GSG 9.3 Combat Boot. The latest boot with a bit of military inspiration to it. The boot get its name (GSG 9.3) from Germany?s elite special forces unit (full name Grenzschutzgruppe 9 der Bundespolizei). Opting to go for a tonal motif, the Combat Boot is done in Beige colored suede upper all sitting on top of a matching-colored sole unit. The branding, laces, lining and tongue also come in the same Beige hue resulting in a monochromatic finish. If you’re a fan of this style of boot, you can now pick these up from select international retailers for around $116. Is this a cop or an easy pass? Let us know in the comments below.
The adidas Originals Stan Smith Adds Bold Hits To Its Classic White Upper
By SoleInsider
All-White with a little bit of bold. That’s one way to describe these brand new colorways of the Stan Smith. Christmas may be over and done with, but that doesn’t mean you can no longer be in the holiday spirit. One way to keep that feeling going is by rocking either of these pairs of the adidas Originals Stan Smith.
Opting to keep things fairly simple and minimal, these adidas Stan Smiths are done in White leather uppers with matching White laces sitting on top of an off-White double-stacked sole unit. The shoe gets its pop by way of the bold Red or Green hits noted on the tongue and heel. It’s a nice little bold touch to an otherwise fairly simple rendition of the Stan Smith. Available internationally, look for these to drop stateside any day now.
