A new colorway has just landed for all of those who are fans of the luxurious adidas Y-3 Qasa High.

After last being seen in the extra premium black leather colorway, the luxurious runner returns to its roots with a neoprene construction on the upper done in black. Charcoal nubuck serves as a nice complement while adidas’ signature EQT Green hue can be seen on the midsole and heel. What are your thoughts on this new colorway of the Y-3 Qasa that gets hits with a small punch of color? Do you plan on grabbing a pair? Take a look at the images above and look for it to land at stateside retailers in the near future.

Author’s Take

Due to the premium price that comes with the Qasa High I would have to really LOVE a pair for me to buy it. I like this pair but I don’t love it. I’ll keep waiting.

Even with all of the amazing success of modern silhouettes like the NMD and Tubular line, adidas Originals isn’t forgetting about their vintage basketball catalog, as we can see by this new premium version of the Forum Hi. The Three Stripes re-introduce the classic strapped-up and high-topped hoops shoe this fall with a luxe makeover for the Forum, featuring snakeskin and carp scale upper. While the materials are exotic, the Forum sticks with its original color block, sporting a predominantly white upper with grey accents. The Forum Hi OG White/Grey will hit adidas.com and select adidas Originals retailers on September 3rd for $180.

Yohji Yamamoto’s adidas Y-3 line is back with shades from the three stripe’s 90s running days. The adidas Y-3 Qasa Hi shines in a new “Equipment Green” colorway inspired by the teal/greenish hue that turned heads on the adidas EQT Support OG.

This isn’t the first time that the signature shade of the adidas EQT retro line has been utilized by Yohji Yamamoto’s label either, as the adidas Y-3 Kohna recently released in a monochromatic Equipment Green.

Here a premium combination of black neoprene and charcoal grey nubuck adds a tonal finish to the Qasa Hi. The lockdown support through the overlaying straps returns while a luxurious buttery nubuck adds subtle contrast on the toe and heel panels. The signature EQT Green adds some depth on the midsole and heel support. European shops like The Good Will Out have already started stocking this pair, so stay tuned for stateside availability in the near future.

It’s been a good minute since any of us have been excited for an adidas Ultra Boost release. As of late, the Uncaged version has taken the spotlight, but in a couple of days the original Ultra Boost will once again be the topic of discussion when adidas drops the highly anticipated adidas Ultra Boost Medal Pack.

The adidas Ultra Boost Medal Pack is obviously Olympic-inspired as the Black (and Grey) tonal Primeknit uppers are accompanied by the hits of Gold, Silver or Bronze located on the heel counter of the shoe. All three pairs appear to come in gradient fashion, with the Silver pair being the most noticeable one. Now, about the price. Typically, the Ultra Boost retails for $180, but being that the Medal Pack is considered “premium”, it’s going to cost you $20 extra dollar to pick up a pair. Priced at $200 and releasing tomorrow, which pair are you looking forward to? Let us know in the comments below.

I’m obviously not happy about the $20 extra dollars, but I don’t think it should be a deal breaker for anyone looking to get a pair. With that being said, I still have my eye on the Black and Gold pair.

You can’t go wrong with classics and this pack is a nice theme overall. I’ll have to side with the Defiant since it’s the most appealing offering to me.

Last offered in all-red, the newly-introduced adidas Tubular Invader is now offered in a subdued finish of onix for its latest iteration this season.

Further defined by its signature rubber band on the heel, the model is topped off with a matching full-length rubber sole unit.

I like the simplicity of the profile. You can?t go wrong with the colorway either. I?m not too crazy about it, but it?s a nice design.

Are you ready for your NMD re-up? The adidas NMD is still months away from celebrating its first birthday and already the shoe has garnered classic status from the sneakerhead community and the general public at large. As times and tastes change, who knew that a sleek silhouette that’s designed for everyday use with a minimalist tone and obscene comfort would become such a hit with everybody? While there is still room for the loud and colorful and whatever Kanye West has up his sleeve, chances are you’re going to see 10 people wearing a pair of NMDs of any flavor before you run into somebody wearing a pair of Yeezys. And that’s just for now, that ratio might soon grow in adidas Original’s favor if NMD Day Part 2 is anywhere near the success of the original

Back in March, adidas NMD Day Part 1 featured nearly 20 different configurations that sold out as fast as they came in. In the preceding months, we have seen a few restocks and new colorways drop here and there, but August 18 is shaping up as another big day in the three stripes calendar with no less than 19 NMDs (with more possibly coming if you’re counting…) slated to drop in the US. From new R1s with textile and reflective uppers to additional XR1 releases, there’s going to be something for all the NMD fans out there, not to mention those who have been waiting for jump on the train for a while now.

adidas Originals has unleashed NMD Madness for the month of August. We’re well familiar with the upcoming release slate of 19 NMD pairs headed to select stateside retailers on August 18th, but what about those of you dwelling overseas? We have some good news, as select colorways of both the adidas NMD R1 and the adidas NMD XR1 will arrive at European outlets on August 26th.

The adidas NMD has been the perfect silhouette for summer thanks to a combination of a breathable, lightweight (and sometimes woven) upper and the patented Boost cushioning system that’s helped revitalize both the trefoil brand’s running and lifestyle imprints. Today we get a look at five original NMD releases, each ditching the Primeknit for a breathable mesh textile complete with subdued colorways of grey, black and white. A Triple White will even be available later this month for those of you looking to carry over the popular Ultra Boost aesthetic.

The NMD XR1 is a bit more complicated in construction thanks to an added cage overlay complete with a mesh side panel. A Primeknit woven upper adds a sock-like fit in the latest women’s exclusive “Glitch Pack” featuring a digitized camouflage in grey or navy.

Be sure to check out the full rundown of 19 adidas NMD pairs releasing on August 18th and if you happen to live in Europe, know that more colorways are coming your way on August 26th.
