The adidas NMD R1 Primeknit Tri-Color Pack Is Less Than One Week Away
By SoleInsider
We’re less than one week away from the release of the adidas NMD R1 Primeknit Tri-Color Pack. With the year coming to an end, adidas is looking to finish it off with a couple of dope releases. There’s no doubt in my mind that the NMD model was one of their best-selling models of 2016, so it’s no surprise that one of their last big releases of the year is centered around the highly coveted NMD.
These new takes on the adidas NMD R1 will feature a Black or White Primeknit upper that features an engineered ?White Noise? knit pattern. The same pattern can also be found on the sock-fit design that ends up blending in nicely with the rest of the upper. The pack gets its Tri-Color name due to the three different colors used to fill in the Three Stripe branding on the paneling. Other notable features include the White Boost midsole, the White (or Black) EVA inserts, the Black eyelets, laces and heel pull tabs, and the molded heel-patch. So which pair are you feeling the most? Me, I’d have to go with the White/Black pair. Priced at $170, pick these up at select retailers beginning December 26th.
Toning things down a bit in comparison to the Metallic Toe Pack that we just took a look at is this new olive suede colorway of the adidas Superstar 80s.
Opting for a classic and Fall-inspired look, this new colorway of the shell toe from adidas features a full suede upper done in olive with a contrasting white rubber midsole. Other details include tonal branding on the three stripes on the side panels and hits of gold on the branding on the tongue and heel tab.

A White heel counter, White Boost midsole White tongue tag and White heel pull tab add some nice contrast to the shoe. Retail price is $210.
The adidas Response Trail Boost is a trail shoe that gets a lifestyle makeover. It comes equipped with a neoprene collar to go along with the speed lacing system.

KoF Field Trip: adidas Dame 3 Roots Quick Look (Video)
By SoleInsider
Oakland, Ogden, Oregon.
Damian Lillard is nothing without his family, his community, and his team. It’s why the letter O means so much to him. It’s a great name for a mixtape, but those three places helped shape Dame into a two-time NBA All-Star, former Rookie Of The Year and now a three-time signature shoe athlete. Amazing how all the 3s come together into one package, the new adidas Dame 3. It’s like they plan these things way ahead of time.
While we know the story of Dame’s rise from Oakland to Ogden, it’s the Oregon part that intrigues us the most. As a member of the Portland Trail Blazers, Dame has unprecedented access to adidas being a literal drive away. According to various adidas officials, Dame is practically an employee in the traditional sense because he’s at campus almost every day when he’s not on the road. He’s able to test his shoe, get them customized to his specific needs in a way that maybe an adidas athlete who can only get to Portland a handful of times in a year wouldn’t be able to. It’s the difference between being an athlete who has a signature shoe that has their name on it and those who have a signature shoe that truly earns the title.
We say it with every signature shoe launch when it comes to Lillard 3, but the Dame is without a doubt his most personal release yet. Homages to his hometown, his grandparents and the Three Os adorn the shoe from sole to the upper to the sockliner. It’s these personal touches that give anybody that wears the Dame 3 a connection to the man himself.
And anybody that wears the shoe will also know that Dame himself personally wants everybody to wear the shoe and that’s why it’s priced so competitively at $115. In a day and age when signature shoes were being priced way out of control, we are now just seeing the pushback from the sneaker community as price drops come from all of the brands. But Dame stayed true and even when the Lillard 2 ended up with a Primeknit upper and Boost, it was still dropped way below what you would expect with such (well-deserved) hyped technology.
The three launch colorways of the Dame 3, Roots, Rip City, and Chinese New Year, feature a mesh upper and a Bounce cushioning. As somebody who fell in love with the adidas alphaBounce, it was heartening to hear that elements of that extremely comfy, breathable (at least the EM one), and affordable has been crossing over to various key adidas silhouettes.
Check out the video up top for my thoughts on the Dame 3, including the changing stripe placement and the unique lacing system, and the video below for the swag bag we got prior to the event. And just for fun, I asked our staff to share their thoughts on the Dame 3, Buy, Pass, Wait style, but without actually asking them if they would buy, pass or wait a pair.
Renz Ofiaza, News: I liked the D Lillard 2 in a few colorways and compared to its successor in the Dame 3, this new design is a definite upgrade. The unique lacing panel system gives it a modern vibe, as well as creating a dynamic aesthetic that makes the shoe more lifestyle appealing in my opinion. I also like how the sleek profile was retained and the revamped midsole seems promising for delivering more comfort.
Juan Carrillo, News: The D Lillard 2 was a good looking shoe, but D Lillard 3 is also dope looking in its own way. The lacing system sort of reminds me of the Pharrell x adidas Human Race releases, which is a good thing. It’s very smooth looking and it looks like it has a good casual look to it as well.
Andres Carrillo, News: My first reaction to the Dame 3 (I like the name change by the way) is that it looks completely different from the 1 and 2. One of the biggest issues of the D Lillard 2 to me was that it looked real similar to the D Lillard 1. However, adidas decided to go with a completely new look this time around and I think it worked out well for them. Out of the three colorways we’ve seen I like the Chinese New Year pair best. I like the new lacing system that extends down to the side panels and the graphics on the midsole. My favorite thing though has to be the new TECHFIT bootie that hugs the foot and features Dame’s “D” logo front center. It’s really in your face and I think that’s real important when it comes to a signature shoe, that way people can identify who it belongs to. I’m looking forward to future colorways. Also the $115 price tag is something that many people are gonna love. The only thing missing is Boost. What’s up with that adidas?
