The adidas NMD and adidas Ultra Boost have been proven models that have lead to the resurgence of adidas thanks to technological advancements in Primeknit and Boost. That doesn’t mean that the three stripes don’t have more to offer in the performance running/ lifestyle crossover categories, though. Today we get a look at a brand new update to the adidas ALPHABOUNCE with an Engineered Mesh upper in three head-turning colorways.

The AlphaBOUNCE Engineered Mesh boasts brand new ‘EM Zones’ that provide more ventilation than ever to improve the silhouette’s versatile form and helps keep your feet cool when running. The AlphaBOUNCE occupies the perfect balance between functional athletic performance thanks to the ever-comfortable BOUNCE midsole technology (think of it as an everyman’s Boost with a firmer return of energy) and an aesthetic that’s sought after in the casual footwear category thanks to the unique ribbed midsole. That feature remains in this overhauled EM offering to match the stripes on the side panels while a slip-on sports mesh ankle support creates maximum comfort. Three colorways are available in the latest adidas ALPHABOUNCE Engineered Mesh release ranging from Grey, Tan, and Aqua.

You can grab all three colorways of the updated adidas AlphaBOUNCE Engineered Mesh this Saturday, November 19th for $110 USD each via adidas.com.

The adidas Originals Gazelle is celebrating the big 50 this year. One way they look to celebrate this grand feat is by linking up with size? (UK retailer) to release a 2016 City Series of the model consisting of 4 different colorways of the Gazelle each paying homage to a city where a size? retailer is located. This first pair to be set to release is the adidas Originals Gazelle GTX London you see above.

Done in a Red and Black color scheme to represent the city’s iconic pillar boxes, the entire upper and lining comes equipped with a Gore-Tex finish to help make the shoe waterproof as well as breathable. Below you will find a gum sole that blends in nicely with the upper. Hits of leather on the heel, lining, tongue, eyestay and Three Stripes provide a nice premium feel to the shoe. “London” branding done in Gold right next to the striped completes the look of the shoe. Retaling for £95 GBP (approximately $119 USD) and limited to just 1,500 pairs. The shoes will launch in two series exclusively at Carnaby St, Covent Garden and Harrods size? stores on November 25, followed by wider release in all size? stores and online on December 2. Also worth mentioning is that the first 50 customers to purchase the Gazelle GTX ?London? from the Carnaby St store will receive a limited edition collector?s box.

James Harden has been on an absolute tear to start the season thanks to new head coach Mike D’Antoni’s 7 seconds or less offense and laissez-faire approach to defense. James is also the proud recipient of his first signature shoe with adidas after signing that 13-year $200 million contract.

The adidas Harden Vol. 1 will debut on December 3rd in a Houston Rockets-themed Black/White-Red combination, but today we get a first look at an upcoming Black/Gold Harden Vol 1 colorway featuring an updated suede material selection on the contrasting toe while the Primeknit woven pattern looks rather Yeezy-esque. Premium touches of gold land on the heel’s three stripe branding while a matching smokey overlay hides the Boost midsole unit.

Being that this is a size? exclusive release, I expected more in terms of the colors used on this shoe. We’ve seen too many black NMDs already.

The Primeknit construction does give a better look to the Rod Laver, but I still don’t think I would actually buy a pair. I’ll just admire from afar.

One of everyone’s favorite prints has been placed on this new colorway of the adidas Originals Superstar. We’re talking about camo!

But this isn’t just any ordinary camo print, adidas has hit this Superstar with tiger camo detailing in black and white on the heel tab and only the heel tab for a subtle but nice pop. The rest of the upper is made out of a black suede for a nice lifestyle look while white stitched detailing has been placed by the toe and on the heel for some added contrast. Other details include a white rubber shell toe, white midsole, and a gum outsole. If you like what you see you can grab this camouflage print colorway of the Superstar at select adidas retailers now for only $80.

Author’s Take

I like the tiger camo detailing. If more were added, say on the three stripes branding, the shoe could have looked even better.

It’s a solid collab. Not too crazy about the pinstripes, but what are you gonna do, right?

The post The Bedwin & the Heartbreakers x adidas NMD R1 Could Be Releasing This Month appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

Japanese clothing label Bedwin & The Heartbreakers has been a long-standing collaborative partner with adidas Originals for well over a half-decade now. Bedwin’s been the proud recipient of collaborations with classic models like the adidas Stan Smith and the adidas Superstar, but now they’ll try their minimalist vision at an instant-classic with the adidas NMD with two brand new colorways slated to release the day after Black Friday, November 26th.

We saw a preview of the upcoming Bedwin & The Heartbreakers adidas NMD colorways dating back to the beginning of September, and today official photos were finally unveiled. The Bedwin adidas NMD duo will have to compete with another collaboration from the three stripes that day – the BAPE x adidas NMD. Bedwin & The Heartbreakers’ designs are a bit more subdued though thanks to subtle pinstripes and unique stitching on the traditional three stripe branding on the side panel. A soft grey and simple black are offset by the Japanese brand’s namesake on the heel tab. What do you think of the Bedwin adidas NMD R1 colorways?

Continue onward for more official images of this upcoming adidas NMD collaboration and stay tuned for more adidas Originals offerings by heading over to our release dates page.

It’s the hottest sneaker silhouette on the planet right now, and now it has a sequel. Today adidas originals officially announces the NMD R2, the follow-up to the insanely popular NMD R1 that’s taken the sneaker world by storm all year long. Dropping almost exactly a year after the initial NMD debuted in December 2015, the R2 will arrive in its first two colorways seen here in olive and black striped Primeknit with waxed suede heel panels on December 3rd.

As you can see, the NMD R2 maintains a very similar silhouette as the R1 with a few tweaks to the overall design?most glaringly, the absence of the midsole “bumper” inserts in favor of a sleeker all Boost design (the medial sides have one rear bumper). Enjoy a look at what should prove to be a sneaker just as popular and sought after as the NMD R1, and get ready for the R2’s drop on December 3rd. We’ll keep you updated with more release and availability info on the adidas NMD R2 here at Sneaker News.

The post adidas Officially Introduces the NMD R2 With a December Release Date appeared first on Sneaker News.

It’s official. adidas just confirmed that the adidas NMD R2 will be releasing in the very near future. The sequel to the adidas NMD R1, here is out latest look at the adidas NMD R2. Let’s see how this version differentiates from the first model.

Right off the bat, the first thing that grabs my attention is the pattern placed on the Primeknit upper. Said to be called “shadow noise”, the print on the upper consists of contrasting lines placed on top of the tonal base. Another thing that I noticed is that the pods usually placed on the Boost midsole are no longer there, instead adidas opts for debossed stripe detailing placed on the actual Boost midsole. The back portion of the shoe will also be updated with a waxed-suede heel-patch and branded tab on the heel. So, what do you think? Is this version better than the first one? Get a good look at the first leaked colorways above and stay tuned to find out when these bad boys release.

Author’s Take

Opting to get rid of the pods gives the shoe a whole different look, in a good way. In my opinion, if you’re going to make a sequel, make sure it has a look of its own. This one does.

The adidas NMD had a HUGE year but, with the silhouette having made its debut in 2016, we expect it to have an even bigger 2017.

Up above we take a look at one of the many colorways of the NMD that will be releasing in 2017 as this pair comes draped in an all-white mesh upper along with subtle hits of cream and light grey on the rubber heel, the heel pull tab, and the signature EVA inserts on the midsole.

I’ve yet to pick up a pair of NMDs and I don’t plan on my first pair being all-white. These are a pass for me.
