Following a recent editorial perspective of the forthcoming adidas Ultra Boost 3.0 Chinese New Year, official imagery of the newly-introduced silhouette has now surfaced.

Defined by a vibrant primeknit upper dominated with a mixture of red and black threading, the silhouette is further detailed with a complementing black synthetic lacing cage system via its three stripe motif, in addition to the TPU overlay across its heel that reinforces the overall profile.

A notable detail is located on the tongue which displays “CNY” branding, as a nod to its respective theme. Finally, a crisp white boost sole unit and black outsole caps off the design.

An official release date has not been announced yet, although, it’s suggested to debut at adidas retailers on or before January 28, 2017 — the day of Chinese New Year.

Author’s Take

The silhouette is an appealing design in general and it looks pretty solid in this colorway. The theme is pretty cool and this pair should be well sought after.

It feels like every week adidas is hitting us with new NMDs, whether it’s the original NMD, the new NMD R2 that just debuted last weekend, or the NMD XR1.

One of the latest pairs of NMD XR1s is seen above with this Linen colorway that sees the revamped silhouette get covered in a woven Primeknit upper in a combination of tan and white that makes us think all of the Vachetta Tan releases that we’ve seen as of late. The side panel cage and EVA insert on the midsole get done in tan as well while metallic silver is seen on the heel tab.

You can find this colorway of the adidas NMD XR1 at select international adidas retailers now.

I’m a fan of tan sneakers, and I think adidas did a good job with these NMDs. If they would have found a way to incorporate leather they could have looked even better.

What you see above is a brand new colorway of the Pharrell x adidas NMD. Known as the Pharrell x adidas NMD Noble Crimson, this new colorway looks very similar to the Friends and Family version we showed you a while back, right? Although that may be the case, this is in fact a different (potential) release. Hits of Black on the pods and cage/lacing system as well as the White Boost midsole provide the sole contrast on the shoe. Will this be an actual release? We don’t know yet but hopefully something gets confirmed in the coming weeks.

I’ve grown to like this model, I just don’t like the price tag that comes with it.

While we wait for adidas to confirm the release date for the Black/White colorway of the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2, today we give you a detailed look at another colorway that may also be releasing in the near future.

This new pair stands out from the rest since all of the other pairs that have released have been on the darker end of the spectrum. Looking at this Yeezy Boost 350 V2, we see that it has sort of a tiger camo pattern all throughout the Primeknit upper in a combination of white and black. Red accents then land on the “SPLY-350″ branding along with a semi-transucent white Boost midsole. This pair also has a pull tab on the heel, which have been missing from all of the 350 V2s so far.

No release date has been announced for this 350 V2 just yet, but it should be arriving in the early portion of 2017. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.

I think when this pair releases it’ll be the most popular colorway yet simply because of how different it is than all of the others. I’ll still be passing though.

What do the Ultra Boost and Samba silhouettes have in common? Aside from both being an adidas model, nothing. The Naked x adidas Waves Pack consists of an unlikely duo but you won’t hear any complaints from me.

Whether you’re a fan the modern tech from adidas, or like to keep it old school, there’s a shoe for you in this upcoming collaboration. Said to be a limited-edition drop, the pack uses a bold and vibrant Pastel Turquoise colorway on both models. The Ultra Boost will feature a woolen Primeknit upper with tonal mesh on the collar and tongue. The cage and heel support also come in the same hue all while sitting on top of a White Boost midsole. The Samba is done in an ostrich leather with hits of White all while sitting on top of a Gum sole. Available for both men and women, look for these to release on December 16th exclusively at NAKED in-store and online. A wider release will happen on December 23rd at select adidas Consortium retailers.

Very dope. I’ll swoop up the Ultra Boost, put them away for a few months and enjoy them next Summer.

We’ve got another Pharrell Williams x adidas Originals collab on the way, but this time around it’s not an NMD release. Centered around the adidas Originals Stan Smith Mid, here’s a good look at the Pharrell Williams x adidas Originals Jacquard Pack 2.0.

The Pharrell Williams x adidas Originals Jacquard Pack 2.0 uses a jacquard construction on the model’s upper inspired by Pharrell’s tripe the to world famous Marché Saint Pierre fabric boutique. The upper is comprised of luxe European fabrics to help give the model a look we’ve never seen before. Coming in two different prints, the model acquires inspiration from two different times: the luxury, history and tradition of the past and the sporty, urban energy of today. The two colorways to choose from include a swirling botanical pattern on neutral Beige and an ornate paisley on bright Jade Green. Other natable features on the shoe include perforated adidas 3-stripe branding, a tonal rubber outsole for grip, a debossed Pharrell Williams logo on the heel, and a custom Pharrell Williams graphic design on its foot bed. Priced at $220, the Pharrell Williams x adidas Originals Jacquard Pack 2.0 will be available on December 10th at adidas Originals and Billionaire Boys Club Flagship Stores as well as at select retail partners worldwide such as No74 in Berlin and No42 in Paris.

Also includes in the collection are the Superstar Backpacks you see above individually priced at $450. The backpack is designed for an urban explorer with statement-making style. It boasts the highest quality European fabrics and luxurious metallic trim and, for added utility, offers both a front zip pocket and an internal zip pocket.

Long before Pharrell celebrated the Human Race with the adidas NMD, he was reminiscing about Parisian adventures with the Stan Smith. The Jacquard print, which first debuted on the Stans and track jacket in 2014, is inspired by Pharrell’s trip to the renowned Marché Saint Pierre fabric boutique. adidas is planning to revive this stylish look on the Stan Smith Mid as well as on a backpack for surprise release this week.

Copenhagen’s crown jewel of sneakers is none other than NAKED, the female-focused shop that opened back in 2004. While they do carry men’s products as well, NAKED is geared toward the lady sneakerheads who are always on point with their footwear, and based on their track record of super-sleek collaborations, their acute knowledge of women’s footwear trendis undeniable. Today, they unveil their first-ever collaboration with adidas with an insane underwater photoshoot featuring the Ultra Boost, Samba, and two models Barbara Egholm & Emilie Lilja who are as buoyant as they are beautiful. The aqua-tone color palette of the shoes are a nod to NAKED’s signature color as well as the vast ocean around them, resulting in one of the finest adidas Ultra Boost colorways yet.

The NAKED x adidas Ultra Boost and Samba will release this Friday, December 16th exclusively at NAKED in-store and online. A global release at select shops will follow exactly a week later on December 23rd.

“I’m ready. I’m prepared. I’m a superstar. And it needs to be done.”

– James Harden

Well, you can’t say that James Harden lacks confidence. As the face of not only his own signature shoe with adidas, but the leading face of the entire brand (non-Yeezy division), Harden is in the process of building an empire within the three stripes. We have been covering Harden’s arrival to adidas for some time now, but the first real chance the people will get to see, feel and wear that ascension is with the adidas Harden Vol. 1 Pioneer colorway that launched this past weekend.

Harden describes his shoe as not only something you can wear on and off the court but also one of the catalysts for the mind-boggling statistics he’s putting up this year for the Houston Rockets. The adidas Harden Vol. 1 has the chance to be something special for not only Harden and adidas, but the basketball sneaker community in general, which has been itching for something new and fresh (the two haven’t intersected for quite some time).

With the rare off weekend during the NBA season, Harden flew to Los Angeles to celebrate the launch of his shoe in style, traveling to various hot spots where fans were there to meet and greet the All-Star. We spoke with Harden at the Foot Locker in Santa Monica to get his thoughts on the world finally getting to see his… well, in his words, masterpiece. Told you he was confident…

The adidas Harden Vol. 1 Pioneer is available now. Check out our unpacking of the swag from the reveal in Houston a few weeks back below.

Previously featured in beige and black/white iterations, the newly-introduced adidas Tubular Shadow Knit is now highlighted in deep navy — one of its inaugural colorways for the season.

Unmistakably taking design cues from the popular adidas Yeezy Boost 350, this variation flaunts a sleek and simple woven composition which is covered in the bold tone. A slightly darker navy hue is utilized for its full-length sole unit to maintain a slightly stealthy and minimalist finish.

Evoking a blend of street culture and high fashion, you can purchase this pair at select adidas retailers starting December 8th for $110.

Even if it looks like budget Yeezys, the design is pretty nice. I prefer the tan version and it?ll be interesting to see how this sells.

Following its maroon/burgundy finish, the women’s adidas NMD XR1 is also treated in an understated palette of icepur/midnight grey this season.

Defined by its intricate primeknit upper, bearing a distinctive pattern throughout — grey accents are utilized for its laces, synthetic lacing apparatus and branded heel to further detail its profile, while EVA inserts are seen on the heel. Finally, a crisp white boost sole unit and versatile gum outsole finishes off the sleek design.

Select adidas retailers overseas have this pair available now, although, a stateside release is imminent.

The silhouette is really appealing and stylish option. This colorway is pretty versatile as well and I like it even more with the gum outsole.
