I’m pretty biased towards runners and it’s no surprise that I like this silhouette. Overall, the design is pretty sleek and appealing. I’m not keen on the pattern much, but the colorway is solid. This should get a lot of attention nonetheless.

Last week we showed you a sneaker that Soulja Boy is releasing that looks just like the adidas NMD, now Steve Madden is doing the same by releasing a sneaker that’s blatantly similar to the adidas Yeezy Boost 350. Yea, I know.

adidas is currently having another successful 2016 thanks in large part to the NMD models, Ultra Boost models and of course, Yeezy releases/hype. Every single brand is aware of what adidas is doing. Every single brand wants a taste of that success. Some try to find a way to create some oN their own, while others straight jack the Three Stripes ideas and utilize them as their own. Steve Madden is no small footwear brand. They’re actually pretty well known and respected, but even they want to be like Yeezy.

With that being said, Steven Madden just released a brand new model that goes by the name of the Baldwin. The Yeezy 350 lookalike retails for $90, which is less than half the price of a real Yeezy 350. Would you dare to rock it? Or are you good? Let us know in the comments below.

If you managed to pick up the adidas Yeezy Boost 750 Grey Gum that dropped this weekend, consider yourself lucky. Although the shoes are priced at a hefty $350, it still managed to sell out in under one minute (according to Kanye). With that being said, if you happened to pay $350 (or much more), I’m sure you expect quality and craftsmanship on your pair. Unfortunately, some of the pairs were not up to standards, to say the least. There have been instances in which some people are saying that when they zip up the shoes, the zipper ends up breaking. This isn’t anything new, as past colorways of the same model have had the same issue. Even the Triple Black versions came with new zippers and some of those ended up breaking as well. Kanye and adidas are currently using YKK zippers, and still, some of them manage to break. So, is your zipper good? Let us know in the comments below.

The adidas NMD is without a doubt one of the brand’s best selling models of 2016. If you thought the model was hyped as is, this potential collaboration with Bape could very well be one of the most anticipated releases of the year.

Although nothing has been confirmed, it appears as if Bape’s signature camouflage covers the shoe’s upper. Another thing worth mentioning is that the shoe appears to be a NMD-R1 variation, which means that it Primeknit is present on the upper. Beige/Light Brown hits appear on places such as the laces, heel counter, while the Boost midsole remains true to form (White). Thoughts on this potential Bape x adidas NMD collaboration? Interested?

Never been into Bape, but the camo does look pretty sweet on the shoe. I’d be interested if the collaboration were to drop.
