Damian Lillard And adidas Release Tennis Ball In Time For US Open


adidas is getting ready for the US Open with this vibrant adidas D Lillard 2 “Tennis Ball” release on August 30th. Damian Lillard has spent his summer working on his game to help carry the Portland Trailblazers to another successful Western Conference playoff birth, but he’s also been working on his rap career. This special edition adidas D Lillard 2 was worn by Dame Dolla during his first rap show in downtown Portland this past July.

The D Lillard 2 “Tennis Ball” edition takes its cues from the legendary Alife x Reebok Court Victory Pump as a similar felt-like upper features a tennis ball inspired fluorescent yellow colorway. According to Dame, ?The reason I wanted to make and wear those shoes at my first show was all for my family. When we were kids, we used to play all types of games on these tennis courts around the corner from my grandma?s house in Brookfield.?

Check out more photos after the break and know that this Tennis Ball D Lillard 2 will be available exclusively at Foot Locker’s 34th Street New York City location on August 30th for $105 USD.

adidas NMD R1 Primeknit Tri-color


adidas Originals continues to surprise us with every adidas NMD release, as this latest NMD R1 Primeknit “Tri-Color” Pack utilizes a brand new three stripe color blocking for a change of pace. The woven Primeknit construction has always been the most sought after of the numerous adidas NMD variations as a sock-like fit around the ankle adds supreme comfort to match the breathability found throughout.

Here the adidas NMD R1 Primeknit shines in both a black upper paired with red, white, and blue three stripe branding or a marbled white and black speckled aesthetic with red, black, and royal stripes. Each colorway also offers up that international “The Brand With The Three Stripes” wordmark on the heel tab which now features subtle matching stripes of red and blue to coincide with the new branding choice. There’s still no word yet on an official release date, but rumor has it this duo will arrive at retailers around December 2016. Be sure to check out more of the latest adidas NMD R1 after the break and stay tuned for more release date updates right here on Sneaker News.

While it was first previewed from White Mountaineering, another variation of the upcoming adidas NMD R2 is showcased.

Essentially an upgraded version of its predecessor, the low-top model blends style and modern tech, as it’s comprised of the brand’s signature primeknit upper, in addition to a new patterned overlay that envelops its entirety. In addition, the distinctive boost midsole unit has been refined, which now only features one large EVA insert on the inner lateral section.

Retailing for a price tag of $160, this model is suggested to make its debut at adidas retailers sometime during December 2016.

This adidas NMD Comes With Patriotic Stripes

ADIDAS NMD 1 ADIDAS NMD 2 ADIDAS NMD 3 ADIDAS NMD 4 ADIDAS NMD 5 ADIDAS NMD 6 adidas NMD 7

The Olympics recently concluded. The 4th of July is over and done with. Does that mean we can no longer wear sneakers sporting Old Glory’s colors? Any time is a good time to wear Red, White and Blue sneakers. Now that we got out the way, here’s a first look at this upcoming adidas NMD rocking patriotic stripes.

The adidas NMD comes constructed out of a Core Black Primeknit upper. There appears to be some kind of graphic pattern throughout the shoe, but the star and main attraction of the upper is with out a doubt the tricolored stripes rocking the Red, White and Blue. Below you will find a White Boost midsole paired up with a set of Black stabilizers. Priced at $170, expect to see these release sometime in December.

I’m all for tricolored stripes, but I prefer if there were other colors. It’s a good start though.

Although this pair of adidas NMDs is not scheduled to drop until the end of the year, it’s worth taking a look at now that we have the official images of the shoe.

Done in Primeknit construction, the shoe’s upper comes rocking a Black and White look that evokes a bit of an Oreo-like aesthetic. The cookie-like upper is then contrasted by a trio of colors noted on the Three Stripes branding, as Blue, Black and Red claim their positioning on the upper. Below you will find a White Boost midsole accompanied by a set of White stabilizers. A White pull tab and Black heel tab round out the look of the shoe. Priced at $170, expect to see these some time during the month of December.

I like the Oreo look on the PK upper, and the tricolored stripes go nicely with the rest of the upper. Good work, adidas.

A brand new colorway of the adidas Y-3 QR Boost has recently surfaced. Opting to go with a retro look, this adidas Y-3 model borrows the color scheme closely associated with the classic adidas EQT line. Let’s take a closer look at the shoe.

As mentioned above, the adidas Y-3 QR Boost appears to borrow the color scheme of the adidas EQT line that made its debut back in the ’90s. A color combination consisting of Grey/Black, White and Sub Green take care of the entire look of the shoe from head to toe. T Construction-wise, the shoe is made out of both premium leather and hits of neoprene. Waxed laces and a Boost sole unit give the shoe both a premium and comfortable look and feel.

Our Latest Look At The Kolor x adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged

KOLOR X ADIDAS ULTRA BOOST UNCAGED 1 KOLOR X ADIDAS ULTRA BOOST UNCAGED 2 KOLOR X ADIDAS ULTRA BOOST UNCAGED 3

Here’s our latest look at the Kolor x adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged. We got our first look at the shoe not too long ago and it was noted that the shoe was thought to be a sample. In other words, the shoe wasn’t going to be releasing to the public. While nothing official has been said from adidas, we can only cross our fingers in hopes of seeing these in stores.

The Kolor x adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged comes in a Primeknit upper that blends Light Orange with hits of Blue. In addition, hits of Grey are noted on the heel cup, ankle, and laces, while a Blue Continental outsole is placed right below the White Boost midsole. Would you cope this collaborative Ultra Boost Uncaged if it ends up releasing? Let us know in the comments below.

Not big on the colors used. Even if these were to release, I think I’d pass up on them.,

Kanye Rocks The adidas Yeezy Boost 350 2.0 In Black And Red

350 v2 2 350 v2 3 350 v2

Not too long ago we got our first look at what we think is the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 2.0 in a Turtle Dove colorway. Less than a week later we come across a few images of Kanye West wearing the same model (we think) in a Black and Red colorway.

This version of the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 2.0 comes in a Black Primeknit upper equipped with the “SPLY 350″ print in Bright Red noted on the lateral side of the shoe. Continuing the tonal look of the shoe is the matching Boost infused sole unit. Could these be the Pirate Black versions of the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 2.0  I guess we will have to wait until Yeezy Season 4 which debuts next month during NYFW.

Author’s Take

I’m guessing Kanye will bring back all the colors from the first 350 and do them over on the 2nd version. These could very well be the Pirate Blacks. Don’t quote me on it, but it’s a good possibility.
