Just like Nike, adidas has just released their Pride Pack for 2016 to commemorate Pride Month. This colorful collection from adidas pays homage to the LGBT community and encourages equality and inclusiveness.

Consisting of the adidas Originals Superstar and the adidas Originals Stan Smith, every sneaker from this collection has been hit with rainbow detailing in one way or another. As you can see, both pairs of Superstars, one in black and one in white, come with rainbow paint splatter graphics on the midsole and side panels. The Stan Smith features rainbow detailing on the heel tab and on the Stan Smith logo as well as the branding on the heel.

All three pairs are available at select adidas retailers now for $100 each along with accompanying apparel.

The rainbow paint splatter detailing on the Superstars looks pretty cool. It kind of looks like a custom.

Following its official reveal weeks ago, this beige-colored adidas NMD is finally expected to debut soon, although primarily overseas first.

Officially dubbed Vapour Grey, the sleek model is defined by its breathable primeknit upper and EVA inserts on the midsole which is draped in the respective colorway. Complemented with a clean, white boost sole unit, a French ?La Marque Aux 3 Bandes? text, which means — The Brand with Three Stripes — adorns the front of the two plugs on each shoe.

You can purchase this pair at select adidas retailers overseas starting June 10th.

Stay tuned for a stateside release date.

adidas Originals has been killing the lifestyle market thanks to smart designs that bridge the gap between performance and casual wear like this adidas NMD R1 Primeknit. The silhouette utilizes both Primeknit and Boost – two of the three stripes most sought after technologies, and places them together in a minimalist model that’s extremely comfortable. The NMD builds upon the momentum put in place by the adidas Ultra Boost and is inspired by such trefoil classics as the Micro Pacer, Rising Star, and Boston Super. This new beige offering will definitely bring references to Kanye’s adidas Yeezy line thanks to the tonal quality and even boasts French callouts on the heel and midsole to continue the strong push in European markets. This adidas NMD pair will be available at select European retailers on June 10th and a stateside release date will follow later this summer.

I like this shade of blue the only thing that kind of kills it for me is the gradient on the toe that adds a couple more different shades of blue. I’ll pass.

Don’t say we or Josh Harrison of the Pittsburgh Pirates didn’t warn you, but keep your eyes peeled as it appears like something special is coming out of adidas Baseball. Harrison recently tweeted out a picture of an all-Gold adidas Baseball cleat with a caption reading “Uh. Oh. @adidasBaseball about to drop something big!?

What could it be? Being that the MLB All-Star break is fast approaching, could it be that it could be some kind of Gold Glove/Silver Slugger (Check out the cleats Harrison is wearing above) collection that commemorates the All-Star game? Hmm. I guess only time will tell. Stay tuned!

Chicago Cubs? reigning NL Rookie of the Year Kris Bryant joins adidas Group?s Mark King on his podcast Extraordinary Happens. With a whole year under his best, and a quarter of this season on the books and the All-Star break right around the corner, Kris Bryant looks to once again lead his team to the post-season and beyond.

?There?s so much in major league baseball that you have to get used to. You?re moving nonstop. Now that I have that experience, it really helps me out. And the rest of the guys, too ? we were a really young team overall so to get that experience of playing in the postseason for the first time, it?s only going to help us moving forward. My expectations individually and our expectations as a team are bigger than anybody?s out there, too. We expect a lot out of ourselves, we hold each other accountable for it and I think when you have those types of characteristics as a team it sets you up very well.? 

?I heard [the pressure]. I didn?t necessarily take it in. Obviously, anytime you?re a high draft pick, there?s more pressure on you. More people want you to do really well. But the thing about myself is that I heard all of it but I wanted to do even better than what they were telling me they wanted me to do for them. That?s a good mentality to have in any sport. You want to do better than what people expect you to do because you shouldn?t be playing the game if you don?t want to be the best. I?ve always taken that to heart in my work ethic and anytime I?m struggling out there. I?m so determined to get through it and I usually come out on top and I just think that?s a good mentality to have.? ?Kris Bryant, Chicago Cubs Infielder

Mark King, adidas Group North American President, had this to say:

 ?No matter where you are in your life ? your job or if you?re a young athlete ? if you want something, you can have it. Kris said when he wants something, he goes and gets it. Yes, there?s pressure, but for him it was fun and enjoyable. His expectation was far greater than anyone else could put on him.?
