The NBA Playoffs get underway this weekend and Damian Lillard has taken his Blazers to the postseason this year even with 4 of the starters from last year leaving the team. It just goes to show how good of a player Dame is being able to lead a completely new team to another winning season.

Adidas will be releasing a brand new colorway of the adidas D Lillard 2 for the playoffs with this Stay Ready colorway. This new D Lillard 2 features a grey and black upper that draws inspiration from Lillard’s Draft Day suit. Not only is this sure to be a popular colorway, but this specific pair of D Lillard 2s has also been fitted with BOOST technology to make it even more comfortable.

You’ll be able to purchase the adidas D Lillard 2 Stay Ready beginning on April 15th for $115. Will you be rockin’ with Dame for the playoffs?

Not only is the colorway on this D Lillard 2 pretty dope, the fact that it features BOOST technology should make people wanna cop alone.

When it comes to iterations/hybrid versions of the adidas Originals Superstar, the adidas Superstar Slip On is in a league of its own. Rocking a one of a kind look, the slip on version of the Superstar share very few similarities to the original Superstar model. Today we take a look at two brand new colorway for the ladies coming in either khaki green and a bold teal.

When it comes to the construction of the slip on, the shoe comes dressed in a open mesh upper paired up with the elastic forefoot straps that not only provide a new dimension to the shoe but are also there to provide a lockdown fit. One of the few parts of the shoe that remains true to form is the shell toe. Debossed branding appears on the tongue and heel strap of the shoe. The khaki green or bold teal upper is contrasted by the all white sole unit seen below. Available internationally, let us know if this is a version of the Superstar that you’d wear.

I don’t like the style of the shoe, at all. It looks like a custom gone wrong. Easy pass on my end.

So far I only own one pair of Ultra Boosts. A couple of these upcoming releases look nice, but I don’t know if I would pull the trigger on any of them.

The Stan Smith has been created in an endless amount of variations. It’s impossible to count how many different versions/styles the model has gone through. With that being said, the Raf Simons x adidas Originals Stan Smith Triple Strap is still one of the versions that manages to stand out the most due to its distinct and creative appearance.

This collaborative effort has the classic adidas tennis shoe rocking a black upper contrasted by the three white leather straps that not only act a a caging system but also as Three Stripes branding. Additional branding can be seen on the heel tab to complete the look of the predominantly all-black shoe. It may be subtle in appearance but the shoe still manages to make a creative fashion statement. Available now at select retailers, pick up a pair of your own for the retail price of $460.

The triple strap look is unique and dare I say, pretty cool. The only thing I can’t get behind is the price attached to the shoe, but what are you going to do, it’s a Raf Simons collaboration.

Nobody could’ve expected the Portland Trailblazers, a team that lost four out of their five starters this off-season, to challenge for a top-5 seed in the Western Conference, but thanks to the stellar play of Damian Lillard, they’ve done just that. adidas Hoops is readying their star point guard for the playoff push with the release of the adidas D Lillard 2 “Stay Ready”.

This Bait x adidas Originals Stan Smith Vulc dubbed “Happy 420,” consists as the latest iteration of the silhouette.

Essentially taking cues from the code-term that refers to the annual consumption of cannabis or as a way to identify oneself with cannabis culture, the sneaker’s upper is comprised of a natural hemp that has been heat pressed with a stoned-out pattern.

Further detailed with a hairy suede green heel tab and the iconic trefoil logo in contrasting white, the model’s tongue label also receives a unique branding that is inspired by the medicinal nature of hemp and how it is now considered a pharmaceutical drug.

Other notable finishes include cork footbeds with a pharmaceutical sticker that express the side effects of the silhouette, stash pockets on the interior of the tongue and three options of laces with a Stoned-out, black and white pair.

Retailing for $120, you can purchase a pair starting this Friday, April 15th directly through Baitme via raffle.

Stay tuned in for a wider release.

I’m a fan of the silhouette in general. The makeup on this pair is solid and the theme is nicely executed. A cool and humorous gesture overall.

Following Tokyo and Boston, this adidas EQT Running Support 93 London edition continues the brand’s “Marathon Series” which was revealed earlier in the year.

Essentially inspired by the classic trainer that debuted in 1976 as part of the ?city series? which included additional city colorways for Berlin and Dublin, the model is composed of a mixed suede and leather upper highlighted in black and red.

White nylon underlays are applied on the signature three stripe branding across its side panels, while the pristine hue flows into the midsole and transitions back to red. Furthermore, the national flag of the U.K. is featured on the heel tab to coordinate with its theme respectively.

Rounded out by a classic gum outsole that perfectly complements its overall aesthetic, the sneaker is priced at $150 and can be purchased at select adidas stockists worldwide starting April 23rd.

Aside from the theme, this colorway on the silhouette is pretty appealing. I like the model overall and that gum bottom makes it even better.

Kobe has been part of the Nike team for over a decade now, but before he was reppin’ for the Swoosh he was on team adidas.

With Kobe’s final game ever taking place this Wednesday, we have just found out that adidas has also created a farewell sneaker pack for the Black Mamba. Posted by Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry on his Instagram yesterday, above we can see what’s being known as the adidas Kobe Vino Pack that features the adidas Top Ten 2000 and the adidas Crazy 8. Both pairs have been hit with cork detailing and pay homage to Kobe Bryant’s “Vino” nickname that he received as he’s gotten “older.” There is also an adidas Crazy 97 that is part of the pack but it’s not pictured above.

There is no word on whether or not this adidas Kobe Vino Pack will be releasing or if it’s exclusive to certain people but we’ll keep you updated here at Kicks On Fire.

Author’s Take

Out of the two silhouette in the picture I’m only a fan of the Crazy 8. However, I feel that the Vino/cork theme was executed better on the Top Ten 2000. Hopefully adidas does release this pack in the near future.

It looks like Nike isn’t the only brand celebrating Kobe’s Bryant’s final run on the NBA court. Don’t forget, Kobe began his career wearing adidas, and even got his first three championships while wearing the Three Stripes. adidas hasn’t forgotten Kobe’s time with them either, as they honor the Black Mamba with a two-shoe pack including the Top Ten 2000?the first adidas shoe Kobe wore after joining the NBA?and the KB 8 (now Crazy 8)?his very first signature shoe. Inspired by Kobe’s lesser-used nickname “Vino”, each shoe features cork detailing and “wine labels” on the tongues, with the Top Ten 2000 in white and the Crazy 8 in wine-red. adidas-sponsored NBA players like Kyle Lowry already have their pairs, but there’s no official word yet of retail release, so stay tuned.

Available now for $120, let us know what you think about the shoe.

When it comes to this model, I think it looks better in more subtle options. In my opinion, the red is too loud for the silhouette.

A brand new colorway of the adidas D Lillard 2 is scheduled to drop next weekend. Opting to keep things fairly subtle, the shoe still manages to find a way to stand out. Today we take a look at the official images of the shoe adidas D Lillard 2 Grey.

The adidas D Lillard 2 Grey starts off with a grey heather upper paired up with the dark grey leather overlays placed on the eyestay, toe and heel. Adding some contrast to the shoe is the metallic gold and red accents found in areas such as the heel pull tab, branding and eyelets. Topping off the shoe is the translucent sole and visible Boost midsole seen below. Definitely one of the calmer looking colorways on the model, but there’s no doubt that it still catches people’s attention.  Dropping April 15th for $115, is this release on your radar?

The D Lillard 2 is growing on me. Although the colorway is quite subtle, I still like the way it looks. Great work, adidas.
