While many sneaker pundits will claim that adidas won big in 2016 due to the success of the Ultra Boost, the NMD and their collaborations with Kanye West and Pharrell Williams, it would be wise of them to not forget about the adiads alphaBOUNCE. The Three Stripes has certainly not forgotten as the shoe is lining up for a big holiday season with the reveal of the evolution of the shoe with an engineered mesh upper.

But that doesn’t mean the original style is going away anytime soon. The $100 – yes, it really is that affordable – runner is getting a hit of XENO this Black Friday with the release of the Triple Black Colorway. With all of the sneakers dropping next week, this could be the sleeper hit of the holidays as everybody tries to cop their Yeezy 350s and True Blue 3s. Don’t be surprised to see this on a lot of feet this Christmas.

To say that the color orange has had a rough go the past year and a half is an understatement. It’s been co-opted to portray a certain President-Elect in an unflattering way and with all of the unrest going on in the country right now, the last thing you want to do is trigger somebody – both good or bad – just because you want to wear orange sneakers. And I love orange sneakers, but I need something to restore my faith in humanity as well. Leave it to adidas to do just that.

As part of the adidas NMD Human Race collection, Pharrell has added another dimension to the already popular silhouette. Released earlier in the year, the NMD Human Race has been quite successful for the brand as finding a pair can be quite the task. In this edition of KoF Live, we show off the Tangerine colorway that was sent to us by adidas Originals, which also includes some fancy yet minimalist Trefoil wrapping paper, an idea all brands should consider for the holiday season. Imagine the look on a sneakerhead’s face this Christmas if you hand them a box with wrapping paper that looks like the blue adidas Originals box…

James Harden is off to his best season as an NBA star yet. He’s a fantasy basketball team manager’s dream, putting up insane numbers on the offensive end on a nightly basis, but his liabilities on the opposite end are no secret. In fact, there’s an explanation as to why Harden just doesn’t give it his all on the defensive side of things, and it’s all laid out in adidas’ new Basketball Needs Creators video spot that is set to debut on national TV on Monday, November 21st during the Texans/Raiders Monday Night Football game.

Check out Harden’s latest starring role with adidas below and note that the adidas James Harden Vol. 1 will officially debut in stores on November 23rd in black/gold.

With camouflage iterations still on the way, this next variation of the popular adidas NMD XR1 will be available overseas only.

Dubbed “Black Friday”, its respective moniker essentially translates to its theme with a solid black ribbed upper and matching molded cage. Offsetting the stealthy component is a crisp white full-length Boost midsole unit, while contrasting black EVA insert overlays and matching rubber outsole finishes of the classic colorway.

This pair is scheduled to debut exclusively at Foot Locker Europe on November 25th.

I would’ve thought it would be blacked-out, but, this rendition is alright too. Even if its exclusive to Europe, this colorway should be available for the general public soon anyway.

Previously offered in vintage white, the adidas Tubular Doom Primeknit is unveiled in a classic iteration for its latest take this season.

Flaunting a traditional palette of black and white, the fashion-inclined high-top silhouette is punctuated by an abstract geometric pattern throughout its Primeknit upper, with contrasting white accents.

The remainder of the sneaker’s construction incorporates sleek black suede panels, along with the distinctive elasticized mid-foot strap for added support. Subtle branding adorns the heel counter and woven tongue label, while it’s topped off with the signature Tubular sole unit in white.

Priced at $150, you can purchase this pair at select adidas retailers nationwide now.

I’m not a big fan of high-top sneakers but this is one of my favorite styles. The colorway is versatile and the patterned design is a nice touch.

Last offered in bright red and light grey, the adidas Tubular Radial returns this season in a spring-appropriate finish of ice mint.

Flaunting a knitted mesh upper with suede overlays for its heel and modernized three stripe motif which also acts as its lacing apparatus, the silhouette is further defined by a mid-foot strap, which adds additional reinforcement to its overall build.

Striped black/white laces complement the sneaker’s vibrant theme, as it’s topped off by the signature tubular-inspired rubber sole unit.

Priced at $110, you can purchase this pair at select adidas retailers nationwide now.

Can’t get enough of the adidas Originals Stan Smith? If you answered no, then take a look at the model’s latest version, the adidas Originals Stan Smith Sliced Leather.

Just like the name suggests, the adidas Originals Stan Smith Sliced Leather comes with an upper made out of an Italian leather that happens to be sliced/cut throughout. You will also find a Navy nubuck heel, synthetic leather lining and a smooth White leather tongue. An off-White sole, a set of White laces and White eyelets complete the simple and sleek look of the shoe. Already available at select international retailers, it’s only a matter of time before these arrive stateside.

The adidas Yeezy Boost 350 v2 in Black/Red is confirmed for a release on November 23rd, 2016. Arguably the most popular of the three color options dropping on that day, this Yeezy Boost release features the bright red crimson stripe across the lateral side of the shoe with minor hits embedded into the Primeknit upper. Kanye West has been spotted on numerous occasions wearing a similar black/red colorway (all black with red SPLY-350 knit), which lends to this version of the Yeezy Boost 350 v2 potentially being the most coveted of all. See the detailed images below and stay tuned for the release next Wednesday.

Officially unveiled earlier this week, today we bring you some of the first on-feet images of the upcoming adidas NMD R2.

Set to release on December 3rd in a black and an olive colorway, the next generation of the adidas NMD features a classic Primeknit construction on the upper with a waxed-suede heel-patch, branded heel-pull tab and tonal 3-stripes mark, while a new engineered ?shadow noise? motif continues the OG model?s legacy for bold, disruptive aesthetics with uncompromised visual appeal. The main differences between this R2 pair and the R1 are the removal of the EVA inserts on the lateral midsole and the new pattern/print that is seen on the upper.

Which pair will you be going after next month? Take a look at on-feet images of the Olive colorway above and let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Author’s Take

One of my favorite details from the original NMD were the EVA inserts on both sides of the shoe, so I’m not sure how I feel about this R2 version. These new on-feet images do make them look better though.

We all expected to new adidas Harden Vol. 1 to make its debut next month in the Pioneer colorway, but now it appears that won’t be the case.

A new black & gold version of James Harden’s first signature shoe has recently surfaced and it is scheduled to be the first pair of Harden Vol. 1s to hit retailers. This new colorway comes covered in black throughout the majority of the upper and is constructed out of Primeknit and suede. Providing a look of luxury are hits of gold on the Primeknit upper, and the branding on the heel and tongue. A smoky black translucent midsole/outsole complete the look.

This Black & Gold colorway of the adidas Harden Vol. 1 is expected to arrive at retailers next week on November 23rd for a retail price of $140. What are your thoughts? Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for more images.

I’m a big fan of black & gold sneakers so I think these are nice. I like the gold speckling on the Primeknit material. Solid colorway.

Pusha T and adidas have taken the internet by storm today by giving us an early look at their next collaborative sneaker, the adidas EQT Boost King Push.

To commemorate the third installment of the King Push EQT, famed photographer Ari Marcopoulus explains his creative process in profiling Pusha T in the new images you see above:

“I wanted to do something simple and authentic but unique.  The process of shooting 8×10 photography is analog.  What’s great about it is that you become very focused.  It’s slow as opposed to smaller cameras where you can take many photos and choose later. 8×10 is very much editing on the spot. It forces the subject and photographer to collaborate  and seize the moments that are most essential to the story.  It really becomes a collaboration between subject and photographer. It takes concentration from both and that often results into an image unlike any other. It’s a zen-like experience.”

The adidas EQT Boost King Push features a full Greyscale color scheme that seems to feature Primeknit on the upper along with textured detailing. Down below we have a white Boost midsole for added comfort.

At the moment the adidas EQT Boost King Push is expected to release on December 3rd 2016. Keep it locked to Kicks On Fire for developments.

Author’s Take

I like this adidas x Pusha T collaboration way more than the previous two releases. The addition of a Primeknit upper and Boost midsole were a great idea. I look forward to seeing more pictures.

If you’re looking to refresh your sneaker rotation, no better than the Black Friday sneaker releases to accomplish just that. Foot Locker Europe is exclusively launching an adidas NMD XR1 in a simple black/white colorway on November 25th with the same “ribbed” upper that’s been featured in previous adidas NMD drops. If these aren’t your vibe, remember that the BAPE NMDs and the Bedwin & The Heartbreakers collaboration is releasing on November 26th, so there’s plenty of NMD heat to go around.
