The adidas Gazelle Releases In Black Leather
By SoleInsider
Ever since we saw the triumphant return of the adidas Gazelle earlier this summer, every version has been built in suede. That’s about to change this fall, as the revamped Gazelle designed to its early 1990s specifications arrives in this stealthy all-black leather look. The murdered out Gazelle features nothing but black leather and rubber from top to bottom?except for a touch of gold foil for the Gazelle branding on each later side. “Triple Black” sneaker fans can find this Gazelle at select adidas Originals suppliers beginning now.
This adidas Ultra Boost Highlights College Game Day
By SoleInsider
Ranked number 10 in the nation, the Louisville Cardinals is currently facing the Florida State Gators (ranked number 2) for College Game Day.
To support the Louisville Cardinals football team, a special variation of the adidas Ultra Boost is revealed and somewhat similar to the previously released Multicolor 2.0 version this past July. Unlike that aforementioned pair, this iteration flaunts a clean white profile with the only notable contrasting element directed at the heel cage in red to perfectly coordinate with the team’s signature color.
Check out the game, as it’s live right now on ABC.
Simply colored in the Japanese streetwear label’s understated aesthetic, the model flaunts a stealthy makeup with the primeknit upper, alongside its signature lacing cage system and heel, as well as the EVA inserts rendered in black. All juxtaposed against a crisp white boost sole unit, the model is topped off with notable branding located on the tongue, side panels and heel.
Retailing for $220, you can purchase a pair at select adidas retailers worldwide starting September 20th.
If you’re a die-hard fan of the Japanese brand, this should excite you a bit. The colorway is versatile so you can’t go wrong with a pair. I’ll only consider purchasing for resale purposes — haha.
Olive Cargo Drapes The Latest adidas ZX Flux ADV X Olive Cargo
By SoleInsider
Last offered in all-black, the adidas Yeezy Boost 350-inspired ZX Flux ADV X is revealed in another tonal finish, this time consisting of Olive Cargo.
Perfectly suiting the Fall/Winter season, the defining hue essentially covers the sneaker’s entire profile. Breathable mesh is utilized for its upper, while suede accents adorn the heel patch and pull tab, along with a synthetic heel cage. All adhered atop a full-length rubber sole unit, the aesthetic is topped off with rope laces as a tribute to the Yeezys.
You can purchase this pair at select adidas retailers sometime later this month.
It looks more appealing when it isn’t rendered in tonal finishes. This pair isn’t that bad though. You can’t go wrong with the colorway, especially since it has been a trending hue.
No football cleat in the history of cleats has gotten the type of buzz that they adidas Yeezy Cleats have gotten over the last week. Adidas created the adidas Yeezy 750 and Yeezy 350 Cleats in the OG Grey and Turtle Dove colorways and had adidas-sponsored NFL players Von Miller, Adrian Peterson, and Deandre Hopkins debut them on the field last week. Adidas even released the 350s to the public yesterday.
But not everyone is a fan of the Yeezy cleats. It’s being reported by ESPN that the NFL has banned the adidas Yeezy 350 Cleat and also fined Deandre Hopkins $6,00 for wearing them during a game last week. The cleats don’t fall in line with the NFL’s uniform policy which states that all cleats must have a solid base color unless pre-approved.
When Hopkins was asked if he would continue to wear the cleats and take the fine, he said not unless Kanye West was willing to pay for the fines himself. This “banning” of the Yeezy cleats could be a big opportunity for adidas as they can take a similar approach as Nike when the NBA banned the Air Jordan 1 Bred back in 1985. We’ll see how adidas decides to play this out.

The adidas EQT Cushion 93 Primeknit Is Looking Mean!
By SoleInsider
There are very few things fresher than a pair of adidas rocking a White Primeknit upper. That all-White woven look is godly! The next model to boast that look is none other than the adidas EQT Cushion 93 Primeknit.
The adidas EQT Cushion 93 Primeknit is a modernized version of the classic adidas EQT Cushion 93 by giving it a Primeknit constructed upper. Features that stand out are the Sub Green hits placed throughout, the striped tongue, the branding on the heel pull tab and the ribbon Three Stripes branding. If you can’t wait for these to drop in the states, you can now pick these up at select international retailers such as BSTN
Tomorrow we’ll be seeing three new NMDs make their way to retailers, all with colored Boost midsoles. But with Fall and Winter approaching, will everyone still be able to wear their NMDs?
Probably not, unless you want to run the risk of messing them up. This is why adidas has created the all-new adidas NMD Trail. This new version of the popular runner feature a new look that is better suited for the colder times of the year. Seen above in two colorways of black and blue, the NMD Trail features a nylon upper for comfort. Other details include EVA inserts on the midsole, a white Boost midsole, and a new trail outsole that has ridges on it.
Expected to release on October 1st in women’s sizing at select retailers, stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for details.

I don’t see much difference between this Trail NMD and the original version. The weather never gets too bad here where I live so I’ll just stick to the regular NMDs.

The adidas EQT Support ADV Cool Grey Is Now Arriving At International Retailers
By SoleInsider
The adidas EQT Support ADV instantly became one of this year’s best new models the moment adidas released them. Many people claim that it has that perfect shape that looks awesome on a pair of sneaker. Now that a couple of months have passed since the inaugural colorways dropped, we’re patiently waiting for the new set of colorways to drop in the states. We just got word that some of the colorways such as the Cool Grey you see above recently dropped overseas, that means a US release should not be far away.
The adidas EQT Support ADV Cool Grey is done up in a mesh, suede and synthetic upper. Three stripes branding is placed on the side panels, while the signature translucent cage is placed on the rear portion of the shoe to reinforce the overall construction. Below you will find a White full-length rubber sole that not only provides nice contrast but also adequate comfort. Available now at select international retailers such as BSTN, we will let you know when these get a U.S. release date.
adidas Hoops To Release The D Lillard 2 Shark Black Tomorrow
By SoleInsider
Damian Lillard is one of the league’s best offensive weapons and somehow he was still looked over in last year’s All-Star Game. The young point guard lead the Portland Trail Blazers to the second round of the Western Conference Playoffs despite losing all four of his co-starters from the previous year too. One thing’s for sure, adidas Hoops knows that they have a bonafide stud for years to come with Dame being a focal point of the brand’s signature lineup. Today we get a look at a brand new adidas D Lillard 2 known as the “Shark Black” colorway.
The D Lillard 2 Shark Black represents Dame’s ‘primal on-court instinct and ability to attack defenses at will’. The three stripes pay homage to this killer attacking drive through a tonal black treatment with hints of Solar Red, an Oak Print representing Lillard’s hometown, and a unique Bounce midsole for extra cushion. Unique chain stitching adds a new touch to the silhouette’s upper throughout not seen on past installments. The adidas D Lillard 2 Shark Black will release tomorrow September 17th for $105 USD. You can purchase the pair here.
Releasing for for Fall/Winter 2016, the two parties have joined forces to work on the NMD XR1 and the Tubular Instinct. Each shoe incorporates Mastermind?s distinctive monotone color palette and Skull & Crossbones motif into its design, creating a true symbiosis of two iconic brands. The NMD XR1 features a pitch black color on the shoe?s knitted upper, structural overlays and EVA midsole plugs, countered by branding details on the insole, tongue and TPU cage atop a classic BOOST tooling and three sets of custom laces. Next is the Tubular Instinct which comes with a blacked-out leather upper construction with essential Skull & Crossbone branding on the lateral heel. The shoe?s fluid split-layer midsole tooling receives a contrast white treatment on the heel, while a full zip closure down the heel transforms the progressive high-top model into a clean, high fashion context.
Look for the mastermind Japan x adidas Originals Collection to arrive at select adidas retailers on September 20th for $220 each pair.
Author’s Take
I like the NMD XR1, but it would have been nice to see some color used on this collaboration. We?ve seen too many black NMDs release already.
Buy, Pass, Wait: Air Jordan 4 Premium Obsidian, adidas NMD Triple Black
By SoleInsider
Jordans or NMDs? That is the burning question on sneakerhead’s minds. Yes, the Yeezys have jumped over both in terms of mindshare, but their rarity is so extreme that they occupy a totally different space. In terms of actually seeing a sneaker in person at a store, the two hottest names at the moment are Jordans and NMDs and this weekend we are going to see a handful of both with a “premium” take on a classic, arguably the most intriguing colorway of the latest from the Jumpman and a trio of NMDs that are sure to tickle the fancy of three stripes fans everywhere. Enjoy this uh, very focused edition of Buy, Pass, Wait, our weekly segment where the Kicks On Fire Staff talks about the weekend’s most notable releases.
Juan Martinez, Editor-In-Chief: (PASS) I like the execution with the quilted upper and premium touches, but I don’t care for the Obsidian color in this case. Also that box better be sturdy and secure if someone is paying $400 for them. I better be able to drop it and come away with nary a scratch.
Renz Ofiaza, News: (WAIT) It’ll most likely sell out, but, for that steep price tag, I’d rather buy from a designer label. I’m not hating on the colorway and construction though, it’s a really great looking pair.
Juan Carrillo, News: (WAIT) The more I look at the shoe, the more I like it. I just can’t make myself drop 4 bills on them. Not saying I would never pay $400 for a sneaker, or never have, I just don’t feel like doing so right now. Regardless, it’s a beautiful shoe nonetheless!
Andres Carrillo, News: (WAIT) I’m a big fan of the Air Jordan 4 and this is a really nice colorway. I just can’t pay $400 for this shoe though. If lots of people pass on it and it somehow falls down to $200 I would consider buying a pair. That probably won’t happen though.
EIC Juan: (WAIT) If only that Jumpman wasn’t there, it would be an instant cop. Maybe a Sharpie might be effective in blocking it out…
Renz: (WAIT) The colorway is pretty timeless and versatile, so you can’t go wrong with one. The signature on the outsole is a cool detail too, but, I’ll wait for it at a lower price.
News Juan: (PASS) The Jordan 31 is looking pretty dope from where I stand and I see myself owning a pair of 31s in the near future. With this pair being one of the first colorways, I’d rather wait a bit and see what other colorways Jordan Brand has up their sleeve.
Andres: (WAIT) I recently saw the Air Jordan 31 Banned in person and I liked it. This Fine Print colorway is just as clean and I would definitely consider picking up a pair for the right price (around $120). I’ll just have to stay patient and hope people pass on it.
EIC Juan: (PASS) Only because I’m overwhelmed by the number of NMDs I already have. Yes, I know that makes me sounds like a jerk, but a Triple Black (or a Triple Red or Triple White for that matter) is just not going to convince me to cop another one…
Renz: (BUY) It’s really about time the sole unit was colored in this shade. This pair is certainly a crowd pleaser.
News Juan: (PASS) The tonal look fits the shoe very well, but like I’ve said in the past, I’m not crazy about the NMD model. If I were to ever get the pair, it would have to be a really dope colorway preferably in with Primeknit construction.
Andres: (PASS) Out of all the colorways from the NMD Colored Boost Pack that are releasing this it the only pair that I would consider actually buying. An all-black NMD is something that is easy to wear and I’ve heard is pretty comfortable. But these will probably sell out pretty quick which means I won’t have a chance. I’m fine with that though. I’ll just keep waiting a bit longer to buy my first NMD.
EIC Juan: (PASS) See above. Also, are they really calling this Solar Red? It’s interesting that Nike’s idea of Solar Red is closer to pink and adidas’s closer to orange.
Renz: (PASS) I’m an advocate for this silhouette, although, this colorway is too bright for my taste (now). A few years ago, I would’ve certainly considered.
News Juan: (PASS) Same thing as the Black pair. It has that dope tonal look, but I don’t see myself wearing this pair a lot. I’d rather pass on these and pick up other sneakers with Boost on them.
Andres: (PASS) Isn’t the all red sneaker trend dead? Plus this looks more like orange than red. Easy pass for me.
EIC Juan: (PASS) Ok, it’s not really a Triple Black because the upper is striped, but I’m still not sold on the addition of a cage to the upper that’s not unlike an Ultra Boost and calling it a day.
Renz: (BUY) I like the design of the sneaker overall and I like how the upper isn’t treated in all-black. It’s versatile and perfect for everyday wear, so it’s a nice option to buy this season.
News Juan: (WAIT) I don’t see these sitting on shelves, but this is definitely my favorite pairs from the 3 NMDs dropping this weekend. The new look of the upper helps give the shoe a refreshing feel. It’s crazy hat a few changes can do to the entire look of a shoe, right?Good work, adidas, you’ve got yourself a winner!
Andres: (PASS) I’ve seen the adidas NMD XR1 in a variety of colorways but it just doesn’t grasp my attention, not even with colored Boost. I prefer the original NMD much better.
What many people have finally been waiting for has finally come. Adidas has just confirmed the release date for the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2.
The modified version of the Yeezy Boost 350 that took the sneaker community by storm last year has just surfaced on the adidas Confirmed App and you can sign up via the app right now. The reservations will open up on Wednesday, September 21st.
The debut colorway will feature a Steel Grey and Beluga Primeknit upper with a Solar Red stripe running across the side panel that reads “SPLY 350.” A full length Boost midsole wraps things up on the Yeezy Boost 35 V2 Beluga that will arrive at retailers on September 24th for $220.
