Look For The Solar Red adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged Tomorrow
By SoleInsider
The day is finally (almost) here. Tomorrow we’ll finally be seeing adidas release their first colored Boost sneaker with the latest Ultra Boost Uncaged collection.
Included in the collection is the Solar Red pair that we see above. This new and modified version of the popular Ultra Boost features a full Primeknit upper done in a combination of Solar Red and Scarlet for a bright and vibrant look. Black detailing has then been added on the heel cage as well as on the rubber outsole. A Solar Red Boost midsole highlights this Uncaged Ultra Boost that hits shelves tomorrow. Retail price has been set at $180. Will you be attempting to grab a pair?
Triple Black Vibes On The adidas Tubular Nova Primeknit
By SoleInsider
Tomorrow we’ll be seeing the arrival of the adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged in the all-black colorway that even includes a new blacked out Boost midsole. It’ll probably be pretty difficult to get your hands on a pair since it’ll be the first adidas sneaker that will release with colored Boost.
If you don’t want to go through the hassle of camping out or waiting online to for an hour to see if you get through, then there is another Triple Black adidas sneaker that is readily available. Adidas has given the adidas Tubular Nova Primeknit the Triple Black treatment this Summer as seen in the images above. In addition to the Primeknit upper we also see suede detailing on the side panel cages. The signature rugged Tubular outsole has also been blacked out.
You can grab a pair now at select adidas retailers for $140.
I like the overall look of the Tubular Nova Primeknit more than the Uncaged Ultra Boost. The only thing I wish they would have added was a Boost midsole. I guess you can’t have your cake and eat it too.
Buy, Pass, Wait: adidas NMD White, Air Jordan 14 Oxidized Green
By SoleInsider
If you’re reading this, chances are you didn’t cop the adidas NMD White or NMD City Sock. Because if you did manage to get on or the other, you’d be doing cartwheels of joy right now on the streets while people look at you funny for not playing Pokemon Go instead. And while you might be happy to get one of the hyped NMD releases today, we here at the Kicks On Fire staff somehow managed to come to the agreement that neither pair is all its cracked up to be. Awesome kicks to be sure, but they could be better. Find out what we’re talking about in this edition of Buy, Pass, Wait.
Juan Martinez, Editor-In-Chief: (PASS) I actually love the shoes and would definitely be open to having a pair, but I’d be afraid to wear them for fear of messing them up to the point where I can’t clean them. And no, I don’t do the “spray (insert product here)” because I don’t like having the qualifier of you need to do something to a shoe before you can enjoy wearing them and having to remind myself that I need to do this thing in order to wear them each time. Yes, I’m old, get off my lawn.
Renz Ofiaza, News: (BUY) I really wanted the first one in black, so I’ll have to settle with this pair. I’m biased towards the design overall anyway.
Juan Carrillo, News: (PASS) I once felt like I “needed” a handful of pairs of the adidas NMD. Over time, I’ve gotten off of the hype train. Don’t get me wrong, they’re good looking shoes, and they’re probably really comfortable but I just don’t view them like I once did. This pair is clean, but very high maintenance due to the all-White upper. For those two reasons, I won’t be picking up a pair.
Andres Carrillo, News: (PASS) I still haven’t picked up a pair of NMDs and I don’t plan on this being my first. White mesh/Primeknit/Flyknit just isn’t my thing.
adidas NMD City Sock
Packer
EIC Juan: (PASS) I already have the original NMD and a few other colorways that look too similar to this. I would like to own a pair, but just in a different colorway.
Renz: (BUY) I like the chukka-esque profile and in terms of its appeal, I really like the clean design. The colorway is versatile as well and to me, it’s a nice stylish pair for everyday wear.
News Juan: (PASS) I’m not really getting much for that $170 price tag. It’s basically a sock sitting on top of a Boost midsole. I need a little more depth, man. I’m sure it will do well in the market, but it’s not a shoe I see myself picking up.
Andres: (PASS) I try to like the City Sock version of the NMD but I just can’t do the no laces look. Maybe if it were a low-top but even then I don’t think I’d buy a pair.
EIC Juan: (WAIT) It probably won’t sell out because 14s are so hit and miss with the community so I can see myself buying a pair when they drop in price. Considering these are the last Jordans that MJ himself wore during his final campaign for the Chicago Bulls there would be more fuss for them beyond the Last Shot colorway but that hasn’t been the case.
Renz: (WAIT) I’m not really fond of the silhouette, but, this colorway is a classic. For a discount, I’d consider purchasing, but, I’m sure other die-hard fanatics are happy to see it once again.
News Juan: (WAIT) I’ve grown to really like the 14s This pair is very versatile since it’s simply a White and Black sneaker. I doubt the shoe will sell out, which is why I’m going to wait and see if i can get them at a lower price.
Andres: (PASS) Fans of the Air Jordan 14 must be extremely happy to see this OG colorway finally get the retro treatment. There’s only a couple of colorways of the 14 that I would consider buying and this isn’t one of them.
EIC Juan: (PASS) Hey, at least I can clean these unlike the NMDs. But these are a pass for me because I’m still sad I did not cop the Arctic Orange from a few weeks back. I can’t wait to see Jordan Brand really take this concept to its logical conclusion and release the OG colorways like Black/Red, Royal and Chicago and in the high-cut style.
Renz: (BUY) I’m all for minimalist/clean designs and I’m biased towards this pair. In all-white, it’s even more appealing, plus it just exudes stylish appeal.
News Juan: (PASS) The Air Jordan 1 No Swoosh has become the number 1 shoe that I constantly change my opinion on. One day I like it’s simplicity, the next day I think it’s too plain. Does that even make any sense? As of right now, I like the shoe, just not in this colorway. It’s a pass for me.
Andres: (PASS) When I first saw this “Swooshless” Air Jordan 1 I wasn’t really a fan, but as time passed I began to like the olive colorway that released earlier this year. If I were to pick up any colorway (that has released so far) it would be the olive pair, just not feeling this all-white version.
adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged With Color Boost
EIC Juan: (GOT ‘EM) Uncaged and Color Boost are some of the most interesting sneaker hacks of the past several years and the fact that adidas legitimized it by doing both in one pair shows you that the three stripes are listening to their consumers. That being said, I still prefer the OG styling with the cage and I wish that the Color Boost was better implemented (i.e. the whole sole was colored, not just the mid)
Renz: (BUY) The black colorway just because it’s the most versatile and durable pair from the three and I wouldn’t mind if it’ll ever get dirty.
News Juan: (WAIT) I really like the colored Boost on the shoe, but I’m still not sold on the actual shoe. I need to try them on before I make my final judgement. Until then, I’m going to continue to pass on them.
Andres: (PASS) It’s a fact that any sneaker that adidas releases with Boost gets lots of attention. I’m a fan of the original Ultra Boost, but not this Uncaged version. I just feel like its incomplete. Almost like a custom that wasn’t finished. I’m still waiting for adidas to make an Ultra Boost with colored midsoles. Hopefully soon.
adidas Made Dad Hats Of LeBron, Steph, KD, and Kobe
By SoleInsider
The “dad hat” trend hasn’t passed yet, and now adidas even gets on the norm-core style with NBA caps with caricature portraits of the NBA’s biggest stars including Steph Curry, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Kobe Bryant. Of course, adidas has the official license with the NBA, so producing hats of these non-adidas sponsored is totally legit. But you can assume Under Armour and Nike, who each of these players are in contract with, can’t be all that happy with adidas profiting off of their likenesses. Maybe Nike can get them back when they take over the NBA license beginning in the 2017-18 season. Either way, you can pick up your favorite players dad hat now at select adidas retailers, including Rock City Kicks.
More colorways of the popular adidas NMD are to be expected, as the forthcoming iteration is showcased in a classic black/white/red color scheme.
The favorable makeup is essentially treated in black across its sleek mesh upper, while the traditional boost sole unit is rendered in pristine white. Punctuating the two-tone composition are bright hits of red utilized for its signature EVA plugs prominently seen across its midsole.
All adhered atop a black continental rubber outsole to top it all off, you can expect to find this pair at select adidas stockists in the coming weeks ahead.
While in terms of colorway, it’s similar to this recently featured pair, but, the adidas NMD is unveiled in another variation that dons a new type of fabrication that’s suited for the colder months ahead.
Straying from its usual primeknit and mesh build, this particular take has been revamped with an all-wool construction instead. Essentially offering sufficient warmth throughout the foot in cold days, the model is also detailed with a ribbed sock-like collar and the signature three-stripe branding seamlessly applied on the side panels.
Finished off with a contrasting white boost sole unit and distinctive EVA inserts, adidas stockists overseas have this pair listed for availability on September 9th.
I’m not that surprised that they’ve already made a pair. I was curious on what other materials would be utilized. This offering really solid and should garner the attention it deserves.
The adidas Crazy 8 Is Now Available In A Patriotic Set
By SoleInsider
A previous signature sneaker of Kobe Bryant, dubbed, “KB8,” the adidas Crazy 8 has been revived this summer with this special USA-themed pack that celebrates the forthcoming Summer Games which will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as well as commemorating Bryant’s historic 20-year career in the NBA.
Offered in tonal iterations, the sneaker is rendered in shades of red, white and blue. Each comprised of faux snakeskin leather and synthetic overlays, the model is topped off with a matching EVA midsole unit and herringbone rubber outsole.
Retailing for $110 per pair, you can purchase your favorite colorway at select adidas retailers nationwide now and support Team USA.
I’m a fan of this silhouette and all for monochromatic iterations in general. These offerings are solid and die-hard fanatics of the model should be a bit excited of return.
Derrick Rose Is In NY, But adidas Is Still Releasing Chicago-Inspired Shoes
By SoleInsider
Derrick Rose might have relocated to New York, but that doesn’t mean that the former MVP point guard won’t pay homage to his hometown of Chicago along the way. He switched his number from 1 to 25 in honor of Simeon High School alumni Benji Wilson who tragically was murdered before he could make it to the NBA. Rose also wore the number while he was a top recruit at Semion High himself. The adidas D Rose 773 V is a handful of a name, but the silhouette showcases the three stripe’s commitment to the D Rose line thanks to an array of interesting panels, bolstered mesh, and a stylish all-red colorway to turn heads that fits right in with Rose’s former team. Check out more detailed photos below and expect U.S. stores to stock this pair in the near future.

I?m biased towards this silhouette, especially since its introduction. I missed out on the first pair. This variation will obviously be very sought after as well.
Premium Flair On The Stella McCartney x adidas Boost Summer Collection
By SoleInsider
In addition to designing new Olympic uniforms for Team UK, Stella McCartney has joined forces with adidas once again to continue their collaborative footwear line this summer.
Featuring the Ultra Boost and Pure Boost silhouettes, the sneaker’s performance origins have been essentially elevated with fashion sensibilities. The Ultra Boost’s upper has been transformed from the standard performance level Primeknit into a softer, glitter fueled weave, and it’s offered in two colorways — black/white and a standout gold knit with copper accents.
On the other hand, the Pure Boost, incorporates a flatter foam midsole and minimal upper. The paneling and lace section on this variation is replaced with a flexible neoprene upper which can be fastened up using a single strap. Certain components across its design also reference previous training shoes from the brand’s archive, such as the minimal side stripe branding from the EQT Racing, and subtle heel embossing found on the ZX series.
Rendered in two vibrant colorways — black/red with florals and a pastel color blocked iteration, you can find the limited edition pairs at select adidas accounts globally starting tomorrow, July 15th.
Even though the silhouettes are listed for women, the offerings are really solid and still versatile enough for all genders. I’ve been a fan of her reinterpretation of the silhouettes and this range is pretty appealing. It should get a lot of attention.
