Kanye West Seen Wearing The adidas D Lillard 2 Boost Triple White
By SoleInsider
Whether you like it or not, Kanye West is one of sneaker’s biggest “influencers”. For some reason, whatever he gets his hands on has the potential to turn into gold (See adidas Ultra Boost Triple White). He was recently spotted wearing a brand new adidas model we had never seen him wear before. That shoe is the adidas D Lillard 2 Boost Triple White.
Considered to be one of the best colorways that dropped on Lillard’s second signature shoe, the Triple White offering was Lillard’s way of celebrating All-Star weekend. Lillard was arguably the leagues biggest All-Star snub this year, but there’s no denying his game is top notch. The shoe had no problem selling out when it released, but now that Kanye has been seen wearing them, we’re pretty sure the resell value is about to go all the way up!
According To adidas, The Next adidas Yeezy Boost Will Be Releasing In The Next Few Weeks
By SoleInsider
“In the next few weeks.”
That’s what the adidas Originals Twitter account had to say to someone on Twitter when asked if we would be seeing a Yeezy 350, 750, or 950 releasing any time soon. Check out the exchange below.
— adidas Originals (@adidasoriginals) May 27, 2016
It has been quite some time since we were given a new colorway from the adidas Yeezy Boost line. The last release was the Pirate Black 2.0 colorway of the Yeezy Boost 350 that released in February and before that was the all-black Yeezy Boost 750 in December of 2015. So what do you think will be releasing “in the next few weeks”? One of the pairs of 750s that have been rumored to drop in the last few weeks? A new colorway of the 350? Or maybe even the debut of the 550 or 650? Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.

adidas Originals Confirms Yeezy Boost Release In Coming Weeks
By SoleInsider
It’s been far too long since a pair of adidas Yeezys hit stores, but it looks like that gap is about to close really soon. On Twitter, adidas Originals officially states that a Yeezy Boost release is slated to go down “in the next few weeks”, so let the speculation begin. Will it be the “Chocolate” pair that Kanye wore in French Montana’s music video? Is it the grey/gum pair that Kim Kardashian flexed on her Snapchat? Or will it be a true surprise like the Yeezy Boost 550? Only time will tell, but now you know – Yeezy season is approaching soon. Stay tuned for official updates.
Adidas has just announced that they have agreed to sell U.S. sportswear seller Mitchell & Ness, resulting in a one-time gain in a the low to medium double-digit million euro range.
The popular sportswear brand which has been creating vintage sports goods such as jerseys, jackets, hats, and wool-felt historic pennants since 1904 and was purchased by adidas back in 2007. So why did adidas decide to sell? Adidas said in a statement on Friday it would re-invest the proceeds of the sale into its “Creating the New” strategy.
“Nostalgia headwear and apparel is not core to this strategy and the sale of Mitchell & Ness will allow us to reduce complexity and pursue our target consumer more aggressively with our core brands,” Adidas said in a statement on Friday.
The buyer is a newly formed entity primarily owned by U.S. private equity firm Juggernaut Capital Partners.
Are you a fan of Mitchell & Ness? How do you feel about adidas selling the company to focus their attention elsewhere?

Buy, Pass, Wait: Air Jordan 12 Flu Game, Air Jordan XX3 Trophy Room, adidas NMD
By SoleInsider
How do you undermine the release of one of the most popular Air Jordans of all time? In 2016, the answer to that would have been “drop a Yeezy” on the same weekend. But thanks to a super limited release of a model that is starting to gain in popularity in the Air Jordan XX3, it looks like some sneakerheads might be distracted on their way to the Flu Game 12s. That’s good news for those who only want the Flu Games, but if you live overseas, you might see that your options are a little tougher, as two highly anticipated adidas NMDs are dropping (or have dropped depending on when you read this) as well.
Juan Martinez, Editor-In-Chief: (GOT ‘EM) It deserves all the hype and praise it gets. Is it better than the OG and the subsequent retros? I don’t know and quite honestly, I don’t care at this point. It’s a pair I’ve wanted for a long time, the quality is where it needs to be and now I have it. Zero complaints.
Renz Ofiaza, News: (BUY) I briefly owned the 2009 pair, but I’ve been looking forward to its OG release. Hopefully stock won’t be that limited since full family sizes are offered as well.
Juan Carrillo, News: (BUY) It’s a toss up between these and the French Blues when it comes to which is the best colorway of the Air Jordan 12. Either way, this is considered one of the best Jordan drops of the year. I’ll take one please.
Andres Carrillo, News: (BUY) I picked up the Air Jordan 12 French Blue and I was extremely happy with those. These Flu Games look even better! Cant’ wait to pick these up.
adidas NMD White (Worldwide Everywhere Except The U.S.)
Foot Patrol
EIC Juan: (PASS) They look great and if I lived in a world where dirt didn’t exist, I would totally buy a pair. But I don’t live in that world and combine that with my loathing for dirt marks (I’ve made my peace with white Boost soles) on my kicks and it’s a pass.
Renz: (BUY) I’ve been a fan of the silhouette since its inception. I missed out on the OG black pair so hopefully my luck will change once it arrives in the U.S. (If I miss out overseas).
News Juan: (PASS) Sure, the all-White pair is clean, when new. After a few wears, dirt and dust begin to pile, then you end up having beige colored NMDs. This shoe it too high maintenance for me to get a pair. It’s a pass.
Andres: (PASS) Even though these white NMDs only release overseas for now, they’re a pass for me. I just can’t do white Primeknit/Flyknit sneakers. Too hard to keep clean.
adidas NMD City Sock (Ditto)
adidas Originals
EIC Juan: (WAIT) I need to try them on before I can cop. The upper reminds me of the Tubular Primeknit sans the cage and if the two are comparable comfort and fit wise, then these become a must-buy.
Renz: (BUY) I do admire the chukka-esque design. In this colorway, it’s pretty versatile and stylish. I just really like the clean, minimalist look altogether.
News Juan: (PASS) The City Sock version of the NMD is not a style I’m particularly fond of. It literally looks like a sock to me. It’s not really my kind of shoe, especially at that price.
Andres: (PASS) I haven’t picked up a pair of NMDs yet but when I do I don’t think it’ll be a City Sock version. Unless these look so much better in person, I can’t see myself rocking a pair.
EIC Juan: (BUY) It’s black, white and gold, what’s not to love? I will admit to being dead wrong about the Air Jordan XX3 as the model has (wait for it…) grown on me (ugh…). Now I’m on a vision quest to cop as many pairs as I can. This one is a long shot since they’re super limited, but one can hope, right?
Renz: (PASS) Years ago, I never paid attention to this silhouette. I guess as time passes and my taste palette changes, I appreciate it a bit more. I think the design is pretty solid but I’m not a fan of the patterned upper.
News Juan: (BUY) Before the Jordan 23 was announced that it was going to release, I was already searching for a pair of old colorways online. I’ve always liked this model and was looking to scoop up a pair at a discounted price. Seeing that these are $275, my plan will continue to search for a Jordan 23 online at a far more reasonable price. I just want a Jordan 23, it doesn’t have to be in this colorway.
Andres: (PASS) The Air Jordan 23 is one of those Air Jordan silhouettes that I’ve always admired from afar because of how expensive and hard it is to find a pair in good condition. $275 for these? Nah, I’m good. Plus what’s the chance of me even being able to grab a pair at retail. Slim to none.
Under Armour Curry Two Red, White And Blue
Under Armour
EIC Juan: (WAIT) We’re just now starting to see some Currys sit on shelves and this will be a great cop when it drops in price. Kind of wish it was done in the low-cut style though so I can wear them casually as well. Yeah, I wear Currys casually, what?
Renz: (PASS) I like the silhouette but I haven’t been really tempted to purchase the pair, aside from the upcoming black/gold colorway from the MVP Back 2 Back pack. The overall theme on this pair is solid though.
News Juan: (WAIT) One of the nicer colorways I’ve seen on the UA Curry Two. The Red, White and Blue look is done right on the shoe. I don’t see these selling out, so I’ma take a risk and see if I can grab them under $100.
Andres: (PASS) A little early for the 4th of July/USA themed sneakers isn’t it? We’re still in May! Not a bad colorway of the Curry Two but I’m jut not real big on red, white and blue kicks.

The adidas Gazelle Will Get A Makeover To Look Like The OG Release
By SoleInsider
Adidas will be giving the adidas Gazelle a makeover to make it look like the original. Huh? I guess you can call it a remastered initiative as adidas is expected to use new materials and a somewhat of a new design to make it resemble the original Gazelle that first appeared back in the 60’s.
The new “remastered” version of the Gazelle will feature a new vintage suede upper, an off-white rubber sole and leather serrated 3-Stripes to give it that classic look that people first fell in love with.
The new adidas Gazelle is expected to begin releasing during the first week of June in more than 50 different colorways. Each pair will retail for $80 with a few of the first colorways pictured above. Are you excited about this new/old version of the adidas Gazelle releasing?
There’s no doubt that the adidas NMD is the hottest thing in sneakers right now, so many of your are probably in the hunt for your first pair. Those who been on the NMD bandwagon will attest to the fact that the sizing of the various NMD silhouettes isn’t quite consistent, so this sizing guide by Kicks Deals Canada should set you straight. Based on this info, one can’t simply generalize sizing up, sizing down, or staying true to size, so peep what’s listed below and hopefully it’ll steer you in the right direction.
Keep It OG adidas Originals Gazelle Vintage Suede Pack
By SoleInsider
The adidas Originals Gazelle was considered a banger back in the 90s. Looking to make an impact once more, adidas has decided to bring back this classic model. One of the first offerings the silhouette will have to offer is by way of the adidas Originals Gazelle Vintage Suede Pack.
Consisting of three different colorways, the shoes will come constructed out of a vintage suede upper done in Navy, Forest Green and Grey.
