This adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged Will Be Arriving Next Week
By SoleInsider
Alongside the recently featured collegiate navy and tech earth colorways, the adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged will also be offered in a lighter hue of crystal white this summer.
Blending shades of white, grey and a tealish hue across its breathable primeknit upper, the defining green-like tone is also implemented on the TPU heel overlay that provides additional support, in addition to the ribbed detailing on its sock-like collar.
All adhered atop a crisp white midsole and black continental rubber outsole, you can find this women’s variation of the silhouette at select adidas retailers on July 27 for a price tag of $180.
Another On-Feet Look At The Pharrell x adidas NMD Human Race
By SoleInsider
Tomorrow we’ll be seeing the arrival of the highly anticipated Pharrell x adidas NMD Human Race in the yellow and black colorway.
This will be the first colorway to release of this collaborative NMD between Pharrell and adidas as more pairs are expected to release in the future. The shoe is dominated by a yellow Primeknit upper that also boasts contrasting black accents on the modified netted panel lacing system, the EVA inserts on the Boost midsole, and the “HUMAN” & “RACE” wording on the upper.
The Pharrell x adidas NMD Human race will be releasing on July 22nd at select adidas Consortium retailers and at Billionaire Boys Club flagship stores globally. That will then be followed up by a wider release at select adidas Originals retail stores on August 25th. The retail price tag is set at $240.
It?s hard to believe that this is an NMD, but I definitely like the look. The colors and theme used on the shoe are really cool. The only thing I?m not cool with is the $240 retail tag.
More Images Of The adidas Tubular X Primeknit Scarlet Red
By SoleInsider
Just in case you’ve been sleeping on this release, the adidas Tubular X Primeknit in the Scarlet Red colorway is now up for grabs. Still need some convincing, let’s take a look at the latest images.
The shoe comes constructed out of a Primeknit upper done in the Scarlet colorway. The shoe’s signature feature is the X-shaped paneling that comes done in a suede material this time around. More Red is placed on the rear portion of the midsole, while the front part adds some overall contrast as it comes in a White colorway. Trefoil branding appears on the ankle paneling, while even more adidas hits can be seen on the tongue pull tab. Out not, pick up your very own pair today for $160.
July 21st marks the day that the adidas D Rose 7 is officially introduced by the Three Stripes. While that may be the case, the whole world basically knew what the shoes look like since they were first leaked way back in the beginning of this year.
adidas explains that the D Rose 7 is inspired by the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. The overall look and theme of the shoe is revolved around the city’s spirit to rebuild, which is something Rose is known to do these last several seasons in which he’s had to overcome injury after injury. Construction-wise, the shoe will feature a full-length Boost sole unit sitting below a Primeknit upper. Additional features include the supportive split-heel cage that comes attached to a mid-foot lacing panel. The Solar Red colorway drops August 11th for $160, the Smoke Grey drops on August 13th, Hydration releases on September 16th, the Black/White/Red colorway will release on October 1 and the White/Black/Red on October 15. Thoughts on the shoe? Let us know in the comments below.
Definitely one of the better looking D Rose models from the signature line. Aside from the Boost and Primeknit use, the overall design of the shoe feels like a breath of fresh air.

Andrew Wiggins and adidas Unveil The Crazy Explosive With Boost And Primeknit
By SoleInsider
Andrew Wiggins and the Minnesota Timberwolves have a lot to look forward to this upcoming season. A young core, a veteran coach, and a roster full of exciting players means that the Wolves could be ready to take a leap in the hyper-competitive Western Conference. They’re a team for the future, so the three stripes decided A.Wiggins needs a basketball model to match that promise.
Enter the adidas Crazy Explosive, the trefoil brand’s latest and greatest in the hoops world. The head-turning silhouette received a Chef Curry like beating on the internet when low res photos initially leaked because people weren’t ready for the high-arching high top. But now that we have a better look, the Primeknit and Boost offering is looking more and more like an advanced performer ready for the rigors of the fast paced game today.
Full-length Boost has become a standard feature on any adidas performance model today, one that we don’t take for granted given the explosive return of energy – hence the name – and a luxurious ride that absorbs impact. One of the more interesting aspects of this model is the lateral TPU roll cage that provides forefront stability to enhance quick cuts to the basket. The Primeknit upper adds a dynamic lightweight ride and ventilation as well.
The adidas Crazy Explosive will debut in a “Solar Red” colorway on August 1st for $150 USD. What do you think of the three stripes’ latest performance hoops model? Be sure to check out more detailed photos below and stay tuned for more updates regarding Andrew Wiggins’ rise right here on Sneaker News.

Event Recap: Welcome To adidas Basketball LVL3 (Video)
By SoleInsider
Rose. Harden. Lillard. Wiggins. They represent the present and the future of adidas Basketball. There’s no need to talk about the past because well, the recent past of adidas Basketball has not always been where it needs to be. Between the bad luck, injuries and lackluster designs, the brand within the brand has often times felt like a totally separate entity within adidas, especially when you compare it to Originals, Running and Football (both US and Soccer). But thanks to a little thing called Boost – not to mention the rise of Lillard and the signing of Harden – Basketball has been able to rebound with one solid release after another. And now for the first time in a long time, adidas Basketball is a great position: people are paying attention again.
To set the tone for the coming season and to get people up and talking about the three stripes for basketball in the summertime, adidas brought us out for their LVL3 which included the official reveals for the adidas D Rose 7, adidas Crazylight Boost 2016 and the adidas Crazy Explosive. Thankfully Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas had “good enough” WiFi as we were able to livestream each player’s presentation on Facebook Live. Check out the replays below which includes the questions I asked during our group interview sessions with adidas’ Big 4.
adidas Basketball
Derrick Rose (adidas D Rose 7)
Derrick, you’ve been through a lot, with the injuries to just getting back to the level you were, was there ever a time you thought that you might not have a signature shoe anymore this season or the one after that?
Derrick Rose: No, I always had faith (in adidas) and we always kept the relationship. We kept in contact the whole process. Even when I first tore my ACL, we (went to) shooting a documentary The Return, so they were always around and always honest with me. And that’s all I want is to have a business relationship. I want them to be honest and tell me and if there’s something I don’t like with my brand, my apparel and my shoes, I’ll let them know that we have to fix it.
James Harden (adidas CrazyLight Boost 2016)
So you have that logo on your shoe…
James Harden: What logo?
On the tongue of your shoe…
JH: Oh, that’s just my number…
Oh, so there’s something else on the way, huh?
JH: Yeah, soon… (laughs)
Hmmm…
How does it feel to be a part of this adidas resurgence and do you feel like you play a big role in that?
It’s a collective unit. Those guys out there they have their own lane. Wig(gins) being from Toronto, Dame does what he wants to do, D Rose is kind of quiet and does his own way and we all have our own way, but we can also mesh and come together (when the time is right). That’s why we’re so different from any other brand, our personalities are so different and we never follow. You know, creators never follow (nice way to integrate the catchphrase, James) and we do our own thing.
Damian Lillard (mi adidas D Lillard 2)
You mentioned that you take what the kids, your campers to heart when you talk shoes. I’m curious though if you pay attention to what jokers like us (the bloggers) talk and think about the shoe, both positive and negative?
Damian Lillard: No, not really (laughs), I only really know (The Vertical’s Nick DePaula) and when he shows me stuff. I just see what he posts or it don’t really read to deep into it. If they like the shoe or don’t like it, that’s on them. I see more and more kids wearing the shoe and talking about specific things they like about it that I want them to like about it. That means that they’re talking about it. When the bloggers talk about the shoe, that’s enough. The fact that they’re talking about it, that means that something is going right and that it’s been brought to your attention.
Andrew Wiggins (adidas Crazy Explosive)
You’ve been with adidas for quite some time now. You’ve worn adidas your entire pro career so far and you wore them in Kansas. What are your favorite adidas shoes to wear on and off the court?
Andrew Wiggins: Off the court, I love shell toes. Gotta says Yeezys too…
You have to say you like Yeezys?
AW: I have to… no, I’m just kidding (laughs). Everybody loves Yeezys. And I really do love these (the Crazy Explosive). These are so far my favorite pair to wear on the court from a comfort level.
adidas Hoops Introduces Derrick Roses D Rose 7 Boost
By SoleInsider
Derrick Rose‘s Chicago chapter might have come to a close, but his story is far from finished. When healthy, D.Rose is one of the most unique players in the NBA today, as his acrobatic layups, laser-like vision, and playmaking ability are unparalleled. Still only 27 years young, the new Knicks point guard has a lot to offer Carmelo and company which is why we’re so excited to see what he has in store for us this upcoming season.
adidas continues to transform its basketball line through the use of Boost cushioning and a dedication to unique textiles like Primeknit and other synthetic fabrics for a look that can be as head-turning off the court as on it. Today we get an official look at the adidas D Rose 7 Boost, a pair inspired by the great Chicago Fire and Derrick’s ability to rise from the ashes. Aided by full-length Boost and a herringbone traction pattern on the outsole, the lightweight offering is made for quick cutting guards looking for added support in a basketball model. The new GeoFit molded collar increases stability and adds a lockdown, sock-like fit.
The adidas D Rose 7 Boost “Solar Red” will debut on August 11th for $160 followed by additional colorways throughout Fall 2016. Check out more detailed photos below and be sure to let us know what you think about Derrick Rose’s latest signature model by taking your thoughts to the comments section.
