Three tonal colorways of the adidas Ultra Boost will be restocking next week right on time for the Summer season. With Summer officially getting underway yesterday, there’s nothing better than rocking some lightweight, comfortable and breathable sneakers, especially if you’re the type of person that is on your feet a lot throughout the day.

As you can see above, the Triple White 2.0, Collegiate Navy, and Core Black colorways will all be returning on July 1st via Champs. The black and blue colorways don’t sell out as fast as the Triple White, but they also don’t sit on shelves and some sizes sell out quicker than others. So if you’d like to add one or all three pars to your collection at retail you’ll be able to do so on July 1st.

Author’s Take

I’d be willing to rock the Collegiate Navy and Core Black colorways, but I already have the black 3M pair which is very similar. I’ll pass on this restock.

I’m a fan of the model overall and I like it even more in this construction. The colorway is pretty appealing but the only downside is keeping it clean.

It does emit budget yeezy vibes but I like the design overall. I’m biased towards the colorway so I guess that’s why I’m more lenient.

New information has just been revealed regarding NBA 2K17. Ronnie 2K appeared on the NBA 2KTV Season 2 Finale and announced that Yeezys will finally be coming to NBA 2K17. Yup. I have an idea lots of people will be pretty hyped about this because since most aren’t able to get Yeezys in real life (stupid resell prices), at least they’ll be able to put them on their favorite basketball players. Whether it’ll be the 350s or 750s hasn’t been announced yet, but I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough.

Watch the video above and fast-forward to the 3:30 mark to watch Ronnie talk about Yeezys appearing in the game. NBA 2K17 is expected to release on September 20, 2016.

So does this mean that the players wearing them in the game will get hurt a lot more often since the shoe has no ankle support? Haha.

The craze over the adidas Originals ZX Flux has died down significantly as adidas seems to be focusing their attention on some of the Tubular models as well as simpl and minimal designs of classics like the Stan Smith and Superstar.

Breathing some new life into the ZX Flux line is this new silhouette known as the adidas ZX Flux Virtue Sock. The low-top silhouette features a breathable and lightweight Primeknit or mesh upper with a collar that slightly resembles the NMD as well as some reinforcing on the toe and heel. Adidas branding is only present on the tongue and heel tab as no three stripes branding can be seen anywhere on the shoe.

What are your thoughts on the new adidas ZX Flux Virtue Sock? Look for the sneaker to arrive at select adidas retailers later this Summer.
