A Brand New adidas NMD R1 Style Dropped In Europe
By SoleInsider
After the massive launch of 19 colorways earlier this month, more adidas NMD colorways are already popping up everywhere across the globe. Today we spot two interesting new looks for the world’s hottest sneaker, each featuring a unique new exaggerated mesh material across the upper with two-toned midsole inserts. Is this another must-have NMD? Unfortunately for many of us, it looks like grabbing a pair might be even more difficult than usual, as they appear to be an exclusive release to Foot Locker locations in Europe. That being said, we’ll keep you updated if these ever end up on shelves in the USA.
Japanese institution Kolor is back with another collaboration with adidas Originals. The last time we saw the two imprints team up, it resulted in an ambitious collection that saw brand new silhouettes with Boost technology in a totally different lifestyle context for Spring 2016. Now Kolor tries its hand at the adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged with a simple yet refined Orange and Grey Primeknit. The real head-turner here is the semi-translucent blue Continental rubberized outsole. What do you think of the look? Be sure to check out more photos below and we’ll keep you updated on a release date in the near future right here on Sneaker News.
Buy, Pass, Wait: Air Jordan 11 Closing Ceremony, adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Infant
By SoleInsider
In this week’s edition of Buy, Pass, Wait, the Kicks On Fire staff is in a golden state of mind with the release of the Air Jordan 11 Low Closing Ceremony (which we still don’t know for sure what it has to do with the Olympics that’s already over), the gold they might cash in from scoring a pair of the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Infant and the end of the summer breeze in golden Southern California with the release of the Nike Basketball Summer Pack.
Juan Martinez, Editor-In-Chief: (GOT ‘EM) See video above. It’s amazing what a relatively harmless warning about maybe checking the quality of your sneakers before making the leap can cause quite a ruckus online. You wouldn’t buy a new car or laptop if it had dents or scratch marks on them, would you (or ask for a discount at the very least)? So why lower your standards just because they’re only sneakers?
Juan Carrillo, News: (BUY) I’ve never been too big on the Jordan 11, I only have two pairs total (1 Mid, 1 Low), but the Gold and leather on this pair is hard to pass on. I’ve been contemplating this release for a good minute, but at the end of the day, I think I’m going to at least try and get a pair.
Renz Ofiaza, News: (BUY) The color combo is always a winner for me and since it’s on this silhouette, it’s even better. I really like how leather was also implemented on the upper.
Andres Carrillo, News: (PASS) When I first saw this shoe I told myself that I was going to buy it when it released. But as time passed by I’ve liked it less and less. Maybe if it was a Mid I would have bought it. I’d rather save my money and spend it on the Bred 1s next week.
News Juan: (PASS) If I had kids (or nephews/nieces) I still don’t think I’d pick up a pair. Not really a fan of the adult version, so I see no reason why I’d make the kid in my life suffer. Ha.
Renz: (PASS) I really adore the silhouette a lot, but not in infant sizing. It’s cool and “cute” but, if the prices goes a lot lower, then I’ll consider.
Andres: (PASS) Wait, $130 for baby shoes?? You’re kidding me right adidas? I have no kids, but even if I did I wouldn’t buy these for them. The only reason it makes sense to buy these is if you’re planning on flipping them.
EIC Juan: (PASS) The swoosh jewel detracts from most Foamposite Pro releases and this is another example. Thankfully, there is talk that the Dark Neon Royal Foamposite One is coming back next year so hopefully I’ll finally be able to own a pair of the true (or closest to true) OG in 2017.
News Juan: (PASS) You all probably know by now that I’m not a fan of the Nike Air Foamposite Pro, but I must admit that the shoe looks less ugly in this colorway, Ha. With that being said, I’m a fan of this Blue and it actually makes the shoe look not too bad (if that makes any sense). Still an easy pass on my end.
Renz: (PASS) It’s still one of my favorite bball sneakers, but, I’m not into it right now. The colorway is a classic though, so die-hard fanatics should be excited.
Andres: (PASS) I’m not a fan of Foams and to this day I don’t own one single pair . These would have looked better with a black outsole, but I still wouldn’t cop. They’re just too bulky.
Air Jordan 1 Retro High KO Quilted Blue
Nike
EIC Juan: (WAIT) KO Air Jordans tend to sit on shelves and while I don’t care for the OG colorways with the canvas finish, this new take with a quilted upper is interesting enough to warrant a second look when they drop in price down the line. Unless of course everybody is having the same thoughts I am and cop out of paranoia this weekend because that’s totally in play.
News Juan: (PASS) Not a fan of the KO construction. I just can’t get down with a Jordan 1 made out of canvas. The quilted hits are cool and all, but I have my eyes on the “other” Jordan 1 releasing in a few weeks.
Renz: (PASS) I appreciate the lifestyle appeal of it, although, aesthetically, I’m not liking it much. The colorway is versatile and stylish though, so you can’t go wrong with a pair.
Andres: (PASS) I like Air Jordan 1s, but I don’t really mess with the KO version. These will be getting marked down real quick.
Nike Basketball Summer Pack (Pick One)
EIC Juan: Nike LeBron 13 Low Summer
Nike
The grey, white and gum color combination never fails and the hits of vibrant green only adds to the summer vibe. Would have been nice if these had released in June instead of late August though…
News Juan: Nike Kobe 11 EM Summer
Nike
The Nike Kobe 11 has the most “summery” look from the options. The hits of Teal paired up with the White upper and Gum bottom is a perfect look for the current season. I just wish the upper came with Flyknit.
Renz: Nike Kobe 11 EM Summer
Nike
The colorway just got me and this silhouette is really the best combination of lifestyle flair and functional on-court wear.
Andres: Nike Kyrie 2 Summer
Nike
Love the fact that every pair has a gum outsole, but if I had to pick one to buy it would be the Kyrie 2. The light grey/cream upper blends nicely with the gum outsole. I may actually consider buying these if they fall below retail in the future.
Livestocks adidas Rhythm Collaboration Also Drops Next Weekend Worldwide
By SoleInsider
Canada?s own Livestock is teaming up with adidas Consortium for a premium collaborative effort highlighting the theme of motion and rhythm with the ever-versatile adidas Samba and the Livestock PureBoost. While both models will be available this Saturday, August 27th at all three of Livestock’s brick-and-mortar locations in Toronto and Vancouver as well as their online store, a global release will follow on September 3rd at select retailers.
The highlight of the collection is undoubtedly the Livestock Pureboost, as this particular rendition known as the adidas PureBoost Primeknit ZG features a new elastic strap across the midfoot section, head-turning bright crimson accents, and medial three stripe branding for a unique twist. The adidas Samba keeps the traditionalism in-check thanks to a bolstered black hair suede upper, contrast three stripes printed across the side panel and unique graphic insoles for an added collaborative touch. A smoky semi-translucent outsole adds a lifestyle finish.

The first colorway comes in a combination of Base Green, Core Black, and White. The second offering features Onix, Bold Onix, and Core Black. Both are then finished off with white Boost midsoles.

I’ve always been hesitant about picking up a pair of Stan Smiths, but if the shoe comes equipped with Boost I just may have to give it a shot. I’ll wait for the pair that has Boost and Primeknit though cause you know that’s definitely going to happen.
Here is our first look at what is being called the adidas Originals Winter Wool Pack. The adidas Originals Winter Wool Pack consists of the adidas NMD City Sock and the adidas SeeULater. Equipped for the colder months ahead, let’s take a closer look at what both model have to offer.

Not a fan of either model. I can think of plenty of other shoes to ear for the Winter.

The adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Infant Will Also Release On The adidas Website
By SoleInsider
If you’re like most of us, you probably took an L if you were trying to reserve either pair of the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Infant through the adidas Confirmed app yesterday. Turn that frown upside down though, it appears as if adidas is giving us all a second chance to scoop up a pair though their website.
You already know that both pairs of the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Infant will release on Saturday, August 27th at select retailers, but we just found out that it will also be available at adidas.com. So even though they had their raffle yesterday, it looks like they still have more pairs up for grabs. News broke following the release of the baby kicks on the Confirmed app, when adidas sent users a notification about the baby Yeezy Boosts being available online on Saturday. No word yet on when the shoes will launch on Saturday, but if I were you I’d keep my phone on me at all times. be sure to visit our adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Infant hub page for all the latest images and info regarding this upcoming releaseB

The Air Jordan 11 Low Closing Ceremony Are The Golden Js We?ve Been Waiting For
adidas Makes The City Sock Ready For Winter With Wool Primeknit
By SoleInsider
Believe it or not, the Summer season is coming to a close. That means footwear brands are ready to launch new footwear lines that are more weather ready as the climate cools down, and adidas Originals has planned ahead by outfitting the famed City Sock with wool Primeknit uppers. We first saw woolen PK on the Ultra Boost last year, and there’s no question that the thicker material works just fine on the City Sock design. Expect this black/white colorway to drop alongside the relaunched SEEULATER boot on September 9th as part of the Winter Wool Pack.
Adidas Creates Custom Colorways Of The Ultra Boost To Celebrate College Football
By SoleInsider
Adidas is celebrating the upcoming 2016-17 NCAA football season with new colorways of the popular adidas Ultra Boost.
The brand with the three stripes has created special colorways of the premium runner exclusively for its college partners that utilize their school’s respective colors. The teams being represented in the collection include Arizona State, Indiana, Kansas, Louisville, Miami, Mississippi State, Nebraska, North Carolina State, Texas A&M and UCLA.
It’s important to note that these custom Ultra Boosts will not be for sale, so all we can do is admire from afar. Which pair do you like best? Let us know in the comments below.
adidas Originals is finding new ways to usher in 90s nostalgia for the winter ahead by introducing the bold new take on the adidas SEEULATER. We’ve already seen the strange new model through a collaborative effort by Japanese fashion label White Mountaineering, but now a crisp new white colorway will be arriving at retailers on September 9th.
The adidas SEEULATER is a modern twist on the adidas SEEULATER boot from the 90s. The silhouette is built from a Primeknit woven upper with premium nubuck and leather panels throughout to support the heel and toecap to add a little more structure than the woven offerings we’ve seen from the three stripes throughout the summer. The outsole is exaggerated to the point of looking almost like a football cleat, with rugged teeth chomping away to go on a trail run or withstand the slush and snow of the months ahead. The SEEULATER also benefits from a sock-like woven ankle construction for a comfortable lockdown fit. It will be interesting to see what other colorways the trefoil brand adds to this strange model, but for now, the White Mountaineering variety is due out in October following the general release of this clean white on white offering on September 9th.
Cyan Highlights This Latest adidas NMD XR1 Primeknit
By SoleInsider
Alongside the vintage white and triple white offerings, the adidas NMD XR1 is introduced in a more vibrant iteration of cyan to cap off the summer season.
The defining blueish tone is essentially prominent on the knitted upper profile with black accents in a striped manner, while more tonal black accents are utilized for the distinctive lacing cage apparatus, branded heel badge, inner lining, laces and pull tabs.
All adhered atop a clean white full-length boost sole unit with the signature moulded EVA plugs, you can purchase this pair at select adidas retailers worldwide now.
It looks like Texas A&M isn’t the only college getting their very own colorway of the Ultra Boost this year, as today adidas unveils a large group of team colorways for a number of their schools. Celebrating the kick-off of the 2016 NCAA football season, adidas is issuing team PE colorways of the Ultra Boost to Arizona State, Indiana, Kansas, Louisville, Miami, Mississippi State, Nebraska, North Carolina State, Texas A&M and UCLA. Unfortunately, none of the colorways will be hitting retail, remaining exclusive to each school.
Close Out Summer With This adidas EQT Running Support 93
By SoleInsider
With summer concluding, this latest colorway of the adidas EQT Running Support 93 perfectly caps off the season in a pristine vintage white hue.
Comprised of breathable mesh underlays with leather overlays along the quarter panels and forefoot, the retro runner is also complemented with premium detailing such as the application of suede on the toe cap and across the rear in a slight light beige tone.
In addition, a TPU heel overlay provides additional reinforcement, as the signature three stripe motif is evidenced across its side panels, which are composed of smooth nylon.
Topped off with a matching full-length sole unit, you can purchase this pair at select adidas stores now.
Be Like North With The adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Infant (Video)
By SoleInsider
Baby Yeezys are almost here. Now you too can dress up your kids like Kim and Kanye outfit their adorable kid North West as one of the most desired shoes of the generation drops down to smaller sizes. Despite the $130 price tag, there is no doubt that these will be an immediate sellout based on the demand and chatter surrounding the release. As somebody who has seen eager sneakerhead and/or hypebeast parents (they brought kids as if to prove a point) line up to get raffle tickets just for a chance to reserve a pair, the hype for these in both OG Turtle Dove and Pirate Black colorways is very much real. Even our editor-in-chief is hoping to cop a pair for his godson and he can’t be bothered to wait five minutes in front of a computer for Ultra Boosts.
