The adidas NMD XR1 Duck Camo Pack Releases Tomorrow
By SoleInsider
Can your wallet keep up with all the sneakers releasing this weekend? Black Friday seems to be hitting sneakerheads harder than ever this year, and one of the main culprits to the draining of your bank account is most certainly this “Duck Camo” pack of the adidas NMD XR1. Dropping in a total of five colorways, including a pink version just for the ladies, the camo-printed NMD might be a second option to the BAPE NMD’s for some, but we’re guessing one or more of these colorways are at the top of the wish lists for many others. Get one last look at each colorway here, and good luck for anybody trying to cop any of the “Duck Camo” NMD XR1’s tomorrow at select adidas Originals retailers globally.
Foot Locker EU Has Three Exclusive adidas NMD XR1 Releases For Black Friday
By SoleInsider
Do you think there were already an insane amount of adidas NMD releases on Black Friday between the BAPE capsule collection and the “Duck Camo” pack? Well, things just got even more crazy with this trio of colorways of the NMD XR1 exclusive to Foot Locker Europe. Dropping only at Foot Locker EU, that fact may weed these out of the holiday sneaker shopping lists for many, but the most hardcore NMD fiends will still be after a pair. Hopefully you have some connections across the pond.
In colorways of blue/white/red, black/white, and all-white, the adidas NMD XR1 drops November 25th exclusively at Foot Locker EU stores.
Consisting as one out of five pairs in the standout Duck Camo pack, the adidas NMD XR1 in traditional green is particularly highlighted.
Essentially draped in the aforementioned camouflage motif across its mesh upper, tonal accents are evidenced with the molded lacing cage, EVA inserts and branded heel badge. Pronouncing the design are vibrant orange heel pull tabs, as it’s all adhered atop a crisp white boost sole unit to finish off the sleek design.
Select adidas retailers overseas will have the pair available starting tomorrow, November 25th, although, its arrival stateside is set for December 22nd.
I?m over the camo motif, but, it looks really appealing on this silhouette. This should please a lot of fans overall. It’s a nice alternative to the BAPE x adidas NMD.
Military Flair On This Upcoming adidas Ultra Boost 3.0
By SoleInsider
With a variety of colorways of the adidas Ultra Boost 3.0 already featured, another iteration is highlighted in this new military green finish.
Juxtaposed against an MA-1 olive bomber jacket, the sneaker evokes its militaristic aesthetic with a dark green-colored primeknit upper and the application of reflective details with a matching Olive cage. Offsetting and finishing off the profile is crisp white full-length boost midsole unit and black rubber outsole.
Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for an official release date and additional images once it arises.
The popular silhouette essentially embodies the Japanese clothier’s contemporary flair with a grey-colored textile construction that is punctuated with white pinstripe detailing for a simple and clean look. In addition, the signature three stripe motif on the side panels are also stitched on, instead of the usual synthetic makeup.
Finishing touches include co-branding gracing the tongue and heel tab, while it’s all adhered atop a crisp white boost sole unit with matching EVA inserts.
Priced at $170, you can buy this standout pair at select adidas retailers globally starting Saturday, November 26th.
I?ll always be a fan of the silhouette and this collab is a solid offering. The pinstripe accents are a cool touch and the overall colorway is appealing.
adidas unveils a new silhouette to its extensive lineup of footwear with the Tubular Shadow.
Unmistakably taking design cues from the popular adidas Yeezy Boost 350, this variation is essentially a more refined and budget friendly counterpart. Featured in two versatile colorways, the clear brown/tan version incorporates a woven composition, while the other pair in black, features a perforated leather upper.
Evoking a blend of street culture and high fashion, stay tuned to KicksOnFire for its official release details, as it’s expected to make its debut very soon.

Author’s Take
It’s cool. I always like it when they use suede and leather. I wish it had more of a collabrative feel, but regardless, it’s a solid drop.
This Version Of The adidas Tubular Defiant Comes With Stars On The Straps
By SoleInsider
adidas has decided to add a little something something to this latest colorway of the adidas Tubular Defiant. From afar it appears as it comes in a clean Grey and Black colorway, but if you take a close look at the strap on the midfoot you will find that it comes with some stars branding.
This version of the appears to be constructed out of a fleece-like fabric and some type of suede used for the paneling. Elastic is used for the strap, while more suede can be seen on the heel. Notable new features on the shoe include the “BANNED FROM NORMAL” branding on the heel and the aforementioned and the tonal star graphics printed on the midfoot elastic strap. White on the tubular sole and tongue branding complete the look. Expect to find these at select retailers in the near future.

Author’s Take
It might just be the colorway, but I’m not a fan so far. Maybe once we see more colorways that give us a better look at the details and materials I may have a change of heart.
Collegiate Navy Suede Covers The adidas Stan Smith
By SoleInsider
Adidas Originals presents a new colorway of the popular and classic Stan Smith silhouette as a part of their Fall 2016 lineup.
This Stan Smith takes on a simple and tonal look as a Collegiate Navy suede covers the majority of the upper with leather detailing on the heel tab. Grey accents then land on the branding on the tongue and heel branding, while a white rubber midsole provides the shoe with some contrast.
You can find this Fall-friendly colorway of the Stan Smith at select adidas retailers right now for $80.
Continue the streak of bold style for the adidas Tubular family, the women’s-only Tubular Defiant gets upgraded with some celestial details for this latest release.

Ladies in the mood for something new on their feet can find the new Tubular Defiant now at select adidas Originals retailers around the world.

Buy, Pass, Wait Thanksgiving Edition: Air Jordan 3 True Blue, adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2, BAPE x adidas NMD
By SoleInsider
It’s time to pass (or buy… or wait?) the turkey in this special Thanksgiving edition of Buy, Pass, Wait. The Kicks On Fire staff has a lot to be thankful for this holiday season as there are plenty of big name releases dropping between now and the end of the year. This is always the busiest time to be in the sneaker game and we appreciate the crew for their hard work and all of our readers for their support of the site. Now here are their takes on the Thanksgiving week’s more noteworthy drops.
Juan Martinez, Editor-In-Chief: (GOT ‘EM) Lucky enough to have a pair now, but I would have gladly bought them regardless. I still might get one if it’s an easy enough cop just to have one to stock up. I know there’s plenty of talk of these sitting in shelves at least through the weekend, but if that’s the case, good times for me. Jordan Brand might want to reevaluate what people really care about nowadays though.
Renz Ofiaza, News: (BUY) I’ve already worn out the 2011 edition and this pair comes in a perfect timing for me to purchase another one.
Juan Carrillo, News: (BUY) I’ma go out on a limb and say that the Air Jordan 3 in this colorway is one of my top 3 favorite Air Jordans of all time. Paint chipping and yellow heel tabs on my current pair suggest I’m in need of a new pair. I’m really happy that Jordan Brand has decided to bring these back. The Nike Air on the heel is a cherry on top. Definitely one of my favorite releases of 2016.
Andres Carrillo, News: (BUY) I’m kind of torn between buying and passing on these (because I know if I wait they’ll be gone in a couple of days at the most). I’ve always liked the Jordan 3 True Blue and I’ve never owned a pair. The thing that holds me back from making this an automatic cop is the fact that they’re $220. And like I said, I LIKE it, not love it. I’m just not sure.
EIC Juan: (PASS) I don’t like black Yeezy Boosts. I’ve come to realization after seeing the Pirate Black 350 and the Black 750. They do nothing for me and slapping the slightest bit of color on that stripe isn’t really helping. I will however cop a pair in the hopes that someone is willing to do a trade for a colorway I do like.
Renz: (BUY) The shade looks more like light tan instead of actual green. I prefer this pair since the neutral tone is more versatile. I’d be happy with either colorway though.
News Juan: (PASS) Doesn’t really matter, they’re all essentially the same in my opinion. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, you will never see me wear anything affiliated with Kanye. And with his latest fiasco, I’m more proud than ever to say that I do not own anything Yeezy related.
EIC Juan: (PASS) Never been the biggest BAPE fan and I’ve never really been a fan of camo print either. Put those two together and you’ve got a sneaker that’s an easy pass for me.
Renz: (BUY) I used to be a die-hard bapehead but those days are over. This collab is obviously sought after since it’s on one of the most popular sneakers this year. I’d only buy to re-sell.
News Juan: (BUY) This could very well be the NMD I’ve been waiting for. Yeah, yeah, camo is dead and whatever, I don’t care about all of that. These are really dope and this is coming from someone who has never bought anything from Bape. I probably won’t get the chance to get a pair but a man can dream, right?
Andres: (BUY) In my opinion the green pair looks much better than the black. I know these will be pretty much impossible to cop, but if I can grab the green pair online I won’t hesitate.
adidas NMD R1 Camo (Pick One)
EIC Juan: (Black Camo)
adidas
Because if I squint hard enough, I won’t be able to see the camo.
Renz: (PASS) The colorways are cool but I already have my eyes set on other silhouettes.
News Juan: (PASS) Nah. Doesn’t even look like real camo in my opinion. For some reason, it also feels like something I’ve seen from the model before. I’d rather try to get the Bape pair.
Andres: (WAIT) The only camo colorway I like is the green pair. This is probably my favorite NMD XR1 so far. I wouldn’t pay retail for it though.
Renz: (WAIT) I never understood why it received this nickname. The colorway is a classic palette in general but I’ll wait for it to drop much lower and I’ll consider.
News Juan: (PASS) I can almost say that I’m 100% sure that I will never own a pair of Foams. They’re just not my style. The colorway is clean, simple and versatile but I really don’t mess with foams like that and if I haven’t gotten into the shoe at my current age, I’m pretty sure I never will.
Andres: (PASS) Simple and classic colorway, but I just don’t mess with Foams. If I did, this pair would definitely be in my collection.
Nike Kobe AD Ruthless Precision
EIC Juan: (GOT ‘EM) Not sure if I would have bought this colorway if Nike had not sent these, but I definitely would have bought a pair eventually just out of respect for Mamba. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go pour one out for Kobe’s career and play this song.
Renz: (WAIT) This model doesn’t beat the Flyknit 11s, although, I still appreciate the sneaker’s overall design. The colorway is appealing in general and I really like the iridescent detail on the rear. I’d wait for a lower price though.
News Juan: (PASS) The Nike Kobe AD is a nice addition to the Kobe signature line. With that being said, I don’t think I’ll be picking up this colorway. I’m 100% sure new colorways will drop that I will like a whole lot more.
Andres: (PASS) I’m still not sure how I feel about the Kobe A.D., but I do know that I’m not a fan of this colorway. I think the shoe has potential and I look forward to seeing what colorways Nike will release in the near future.
Cam’Ron x Reebok Ventilator Supreme Fleebok 2
BAIT
EIC Juan: (BUY) I’m 100% sure I can’t pull this off, but that doesn’t mean I won’t die trying. This homage to Killa Cam’s love for pink is so perfect and so early-2000s that I can’t help but appreciate the effort and to top it off with a Dipset box is just another reason to buy these and display them just for pure awesome.
Renz: (PASS) I’m a fan of the silhouette overall and this execution is cool. The only downside is I don’t wear pink often. A good pickup for the ladies though.
News Juan: (PASS) I don’t wear Pink sneakers. If I ever decide to, I’m pretty sure I can find a model I’m more interested in. Shout out to Cam’ron though.
Andres: (PASS) There’s not much to say about this shoe. I’m just not a fan of Cam’ron, pink sneakers,or the Ventilator Supreme.
Under Armour Curry 3 Trifecta Black
Under Armour
EIC Juan: (PASS) Triple Black is hard to pull off as there’s a fine line between a sneaker that’s designed to look cool in all-black and a sneaker that wasn’t designed to look cool in all-black and ends up passing as a pair of shoes that look better in the ER than on the court. Sadly, this falls in the latter camp.
Renz: (PASS) It’s a versatile pair in this colorway and it’s more appealing in a sleek/stealthy finish. I still can’t consider purchasing one though, unless it’s at a really low price.
News Juan: (PASS) I think I’m going to copy and paste the following sentence for every future Curry 3 release. I’m not really a fan of the design on the shoe and I don’t think any colorway will make me change my mind on the shoe. Easy pass.
Andres: (PASS) There hasn’t been one single colorway of the Curry 3 that has caught my eye. This all-black pair is just too plain. Is it too early to say that the Curry 3 is a disappointment?
adidas alphaBOUNCE XENO Triple Black
adidas
EIC Juan: (BUY) Going back to my point about the Currys in all-black, the alphaBOUNCE deftly avoid that fate with the XENO hits on the upper. Anybody else get the fish scale vibe though?
Renz: (BUY) I’m a fan of the silhouette’s design and this stealthy makeover is a solid option. The XENO detailing is a big plus as well and it makes it more appealing.
News Juan: (WAIT) adding Xeno to this model was a no-brainer. I just wish that most of the shoe was not done in all-Black. I’ve yet to pick up a pair of this model, and I know that in the near future I probably will, I just know it won’t be this pair since I’m looking for a pair with some more pop to it. (I know the Xeno upper has plenty op pop, but I mean pop without the help of light).
Andres: (PASS) I don’t own any XENO sneakers, but I’m a fan of the technology. I like the Alpha Bounce, but the fact that this pair comes in all-black makes it kind of boring. I’ll just wait on another pair down the line.
EIC Juan: (PASS) What do you think?
