For all you big spenders out there, there are 4 more colorways of the adidas x Rick Owens Mastodon collection to choose from. For those not very familiar with the Mastodon model, it’s essentially a much more expensive version of the Pro Model. Above you will find tonal iterations of the shoe consisting of Navy, Burgundy, White and Grey. The innovative Rick Owens design is easily seen on this adidas creation. Some of the pairs are made out of a premium leather with embossed texture, while others are constructed using soft nappa leather to give the shoe is premium motif. In addition, you will find a cupsole and shell toe in an off-White hue to complete the look of the shoe. Available now at select premium stockists, pick up these new colorways for prices ranging from $1,000 and $1,060.

Price is ridiculous, at least for the tax bracket I’m currently. For $200, they’re cool, bit not for $1k plus.

A total of one (1) Pharrell x adidas NMD Human Race colorways have released, but over the last couple of week a handful of new ones have been unveiled. The latest one to do so is the Blue and White pair you see above.

A Bright Blue hue takes care of the base of the shoe. Adding some contrast is the White noted on the embroidered branding and Boost sole unit. Black takes care if the caging system that’ also an integral part of the lacing system. The rear part of the shoe will come equipped with multicolor Trefoil branding. Thoughts on this colorway? Stay tuned to find out when these get a release date.

Very solid colorway on this model. It’a nice shade of Blue. I hope adidas and Pharrell continue to release more colorways of the model.

In 2014, Under Armour leapfrogged adidas as the #2 sportswear brand in North America. This was a sign that adidas was losing touch with the North American consumer while performance-heavy Under Armour was staying consistent with its product and appealing to the growing fitness boom. Then came Steph Curry, who had a massive influence on UA’s upward growth, and it seemed that adidas would be mired in the #3 spot until a drastic change was made.

The near future will bring us new colorways of adidas’ newest Tubular model, the Tubular Instinct. Adidas Originals is already killing it with silhouettes like the NMD, but they like to offer different options for their fans.

This new version of the Tubular comes with a high top construction and a full suede upper. Knitted/woven detailing then lands on the heel while a semi translucent midsole/outsole keeps that Tubular spirit alive. Two of the newest color options include navy and tan/orange with contrasting midsoles and milky white outsoles. What are your thoughts so far on the adidas Tubular Instinct? Hot or not? Look for both of these colorways to arrive at retailers real soon.

The design on this Tubular Instinct sort of reminds me of a Supra. That’s not a good thing since I’m not really a fan of Supras. It just looks too bulky.

adidas is ready for the looming release of their newest NMD model, the NMD XR1. To celebrate the occasion, adidas hosted a special “The Last Encore” event at Tunnel, a legendary establishment in the nightclub circuit from the 80’s and 90’s. The fun-filled night re-created the nightclub atmosphere with a VIP seating area, open bars, beats by DJ Clark Kent, and live performances by Pusha T and Desiigner. The rest of the night was hazy for us (due to the aforementioned open bar), but of all the events that went down last night (UA had a smooth shindig at Concepts and the Nike x KITH pop-up opened up), there’s no question that adi had it popping. Check out the recap below and stay tuned for the NMD XR1 release on August 18th.

Release Date: 2017
Price: ?

2017 will brings us yet another version of the beloved/hyped adidas Ultra Boost Triple White. This version is currently being named the adidas Ultra Boost Triple White 3.0. New subtle features appear on the shoe that help give the shoe its own unique look.

The adidas Ultra Boost Triple White 3.0 will feature marbled pattern on the Primeknit upper. In addition, there will also be a milky translucent cage overlay that blends in nicely with the all-White look. Ultra Boost branding appears on the White heel counter, while even more White can be found by way of the Boost midsole. Speaking of the Boost, doesn’t it look a bit different from what we’re used to seeing?  The shoe is rumored to release during the Winter of 2017

Juan Carrillo, News: I’m curious to see if new technological features are used on the shoe or adidas simply changed the aesthetic of the design. The new look of the Boost may take some time to getting used to, but it “looks” even more comfortable.

One might think that calling a sneaker Triple White is pretty self-explanatory and that there’s no room for nuance and adjustment, but then you’d be selling the 2017 version of the adidas Ultra Boost Triple White short. There’s just enough different on the sneaker to make you feel like you’re not just buying the elusive pair for the third time and yet it still has that familiar vibe that sneakerheads have loved and thirsted for these past two years.

The 2017 iteration features a different Primeknit pattern and a translucent cage and a handful of other tweaks to ensure that this will be a pair to watch next year. And don’t be surprised if Kanye and everybody under the adidas banner are rocking these over the next few months to build anticipation for when they finally release.

To learn more about this upcoming release, be sure to bookmark our adidas Ultra Boost Triple White 2017 launch page for more information, including when it might actually release.

While we previously featured a sample pair, what seems to be the final iteration of the glow-in-the-dark adidas Ultra Boost is now unveiled, as official images of the silhouette have released.

Dressed in a combination of grey with solar yellow accents across its breathable primeknit upper, the eye-catching tone is also implemented on its heel counter for additional vibrance, while the signature three stripe caging system is colored in grey. As seen in the gallery above, the yellow-colored components essentially glow-in-the-dark, while it’s topped off with a clean white boost midsole and black continental rubber outsole.

A few sellers on eBay have it for sale early, but expect to find this pair at adidas retailers starting later this Fall 2016.

I?m biased towards this silhouette and this colorway is pretty solid overall. The glowing element is a nice addition and this will certainly garner a lot of attention.

The next colorway of the adidas Y-3 Yohji Boost also happens to be the most subtle version we’ve seen in quite some time. Subsequently, it also happens to be the most versatile pair as well. Said to be a part of the Y-3 Fall/Winter collection, let’s take a look at this Black and White pair of the adidas Y-3 Yohji Boost.

The shoe starts off with a Black base. Even more Black can be see on the laces, Three Stripes branding and lining. The White found on the Boost sole unit provides sufficient contrast and superior comfort at the same time. Huge Y-3 branding is noted on the heel to complete the main features on the shoe. No word yet on when these will release, but check back to find out when the release date gets announced.

Author’s Take

I love when Y-3 models use Boost tech. The Yohji Boost uses Boost, but it’s a little too plain for me. I need more substance if I’m paying good money for a Y-3 sneaker.

As the adidas Originals Tubular family continues to grow, the latest stand-out model has undoubtedly been the Instinct, thanks to its different approach to the Tubular DNA. Straying from the high-fashion runner aesthetic we’ve seen on most Tubular silhouettes so far, the Tubular Instinct seems to go for more of a high-top skate shoe look with its clean suede construction and cupsole-like tooling. Of course, being a Tubular model, it still features its own unique lines and details not quite like anything you’ve seen before it. Check out the Tubular Instinct in two new colorways of blue and dark orange suede here, and expect them at select adidas Originals retailers soon.

This Kasina x adidas Originals Superstar 80s collaboration should remind you of the one and only adidas Yeezy Boost 350. The say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, if that’s the case, the Boost 350 has a full-on blush right now.

adidas links up with Korean sneaker store Kasina to create a unique looking pair of Superstar 80s. Opting to take the minimal route, the Superstar comes dressed in a smooth tonal suede construction that takes care of the majority of the upper. Black suede makes for nice contrast as it can be found on the heel, tongue and the medial side panels. Speaking of the side panels, don’t they look exactly like the side panels used on the Boost 350? Red accents placed throughout give the shoe some nice pop. Giving it even more of a Boost 350 feel is the tonal branding placed on the medial side panels. If you’re diggin’ the look, you’ll be able to get your hands on a pair beginning August 20th.

Author’s Take

It’s not something I would wear. I don’t even like the Boost 350 to begin with. It’s definitely an easy pass on my end, I’d rather get a original looking pair of Superstars.

Earlier today we got a close look at the “Gold Medal” adidas Ultra Boost releasing later this month, which should prove to be one of the best and most sought after versions of the shoe ever released. In other words, truly a “gold medal” worthy colorway of the most popular running shoe on Earth. But if you’re OK with third place, today you can also get an up close and personal look at the “Bronze Medal” edition from the three-pack of Ultra Boosts celebrating the summer Olympics. Unlike the gold medal Ultra Boost featuring a premium leather “cage”, this bronze-accented colorway sticks with the traditional TPU construction for the Three Stripes midfoot support, while the bronze heel counter goes for a matte finish (unlike the shiny gold version). Clearly just like the actual Olympic medals, gold is best, but bronze definitely isn’t bad either. Enjoy this preview and expect the Ultra Boost “Bronze Metal” at select adidas retailers on August 18th.

A Triple Black colorway of the adidas Originals Stan Smith Primeknit has finally released. I was wondering what was taking adidas so long! If you’re diggin’ the classic meets modern look that this version of the Stan Smith brings, this is a colorway you should not be sleeping on.

The adidas Originals Stan Smith Primeknit is a modernized version of the classic tennis model since it comes with the same shape but done in a Primeknit construction. Adding premium vibes to the shoe is the leather lining and the rubber cupsole which also happen to come in Black. The sides come with perforated and patterned panels, in placed of the Three Stripe branding we’re used to seeing in that area. Out now, pick up your very own pair for the retail price of $110.

Author’s Take

I prefer the adidas Originals Stan Smith Primeknit over the OG version of the model. If I were to ever pick up a colorway, I don’t think I’d go with all-Black version, it’s clean, but not for me since I have too man black shoes.

The newest adidas Y-3 offering to be unveiled is this brand new colorway of the adidas Y-3 Qasa Elle Lace. Dubbed the Night Metallic colorway, let’s take a look at these on-feet images of the shoe.

The adidas Y-3 Qasa Elle Lace looks to make a name for itself by coming out in impressive and versatile colorways. The Night Metallic colorway consists of a color combination of Black, Grey and Gold, a perfect color scheme on any shoe. The shoe’s upper is composed out of an array of materials we’re used to seeing on Y-3 models. A White sole unit balance things out a bit and completes the look of the shoe. Available internationally, how many of you like what you see?

Author’s Take

adidas Y-3 models are very pricey, if I were to ever pay retail for a pair, I will make sure it comes with Boost technology. I need to get more bang for my buck.

So we already know that the new adidas NMD XR1 will be a part of the NMD Colored Boost Pack that will release on September 17th, but that date will not mark the debut of this new NMD.

The adidas NMD XR1 will be making its debut later this month when it releases in this black and blue colorway. This modified version of the NMD features a a micro-rib knitted construction on the upper with a new cage tooling system on the side panels and a nubuck leather heel counter for a more premium look. This NMD is then finished off with a white Boost midsole and outsole as well as white EVA inserts.

The new design on this NMD XR1 is pretty cool, but I’m just not really feeling this colorway. Hopefully better pairs release down the line.
