Kendall Jenner Snapchats A Brand New adidas Yeezy Boost 350
By SoleInsider
When you’re a part of #TeamKanye, there’s no doubt that Yeezus will hook you up with special pairs of Yeezys, especially if you happen to be the sister of his wife. Just recently Kendall Jenner took to her Snapchat to show her followers a brand new colorway/version of the adidas Yeezy Boost 350. This version of the 350 Boost appears to retain the same shape and build, the only major difference lies in the stripe detailing placed on the lateral side of the shoe. We are still unsure whether the stripe is woven into the fabric or simple painted on. The upper comes in a black Primeknit hue, while the Boost sole unit appears in a light shade of grey. Does this new graphic on the 350 make the shoe look better than before? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Author’s Take
Although it’s just a stripe, the new addition to the shoe completely changes the look of the shoe. I’m pretty sure people are going to be all over these.

Could This adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged White Be Releasing
By SoleInsider
The adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged “look” has been getting a lot of love lately. One thing we’ve yet to see is the beloved all-white version don the uncaged look, until now. Although we’re still unsure as to whether or not this colorway of the shoe will release, let’s take a closer look at the adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged White.
This version of the Ultra Boost comes with a white Primeknit upper. The upper gets rid of the caging system while a tonal heel counter is the only feature that accompanies the sleek look of the upper. This par of the Ultra Boost comes with a sock-like slip-on construction to give the shoe even more of a casual/sporty look. White laces, a white Boost sole unit and a white Continental rubber outsole complete the look of the shoe. Thoughts on the shoe? Would you like to see these release? Keep it locked to find out the latest information regarding this potential release.
One of the main features that I like on the Ultra Boost happens to be the caging system. In my opinion, removing it from the shoe makes it less appealing. It’s still a good looking shoe, just not as good looking as when it comes with the cage.

Check Out The Mache Customs adidas Ultra Boost Homer Simpson
By SoleInsider
Mache Customs is at it again, and this time he works his magic on a pair of the adidas Ultra Boost. We’ve seen our fair share of Ultra Boost customs, but nothing like this before. With on obvious inspiration stemming from The Simpsons. Mache createst the Ultra Boost into something I wouldn’t be surprised seeing on Homer Simpson’s feet, assuming Homer was a sneakerhead We all know Homer has a deep passion for donuts, so Mache made sure you use that was the theme on the shoe. The upper comes in a yellow and blue colorway that perfectly matches the look of Homer. The most festive part of the shoe lies on the heel cage which comes designed in a donut-like motif, sprinkles included. Blue laces and a white Boost sole unit complete the look. Thoughts on the custom? Let us know in the comments below.
I love it. You can tell a custom is dope when you see it and instantly know what the theme of the shoe is. The moment I saw it, Homer/The Simpsons came to mind.

The adidas Busenitz Euro Cup Is Now Available For Purchase
By SoleInsider
The adidas Busenitz Euro Cup happens to be inspired by one of Europe’s biggest football events, (you guessed it) the Euro Cup. Opting to keel things clean and basic, let’s take a detailed look at what the shoe has to offer.
The shoe starts off with a white leather upper with black adidas branding hits appearing on the side panels and tongue of the shoe. Updated features on the shoe include the GeoFit cushion system and a cupsole rubber outsole that improves the grip of the shoe. With Europe’s tournament season in full effect, now is a great time to pick up a pair at select retailers. Let us know what you think about the shoe.
The shoes color scheme sort of reminds me of the adidas Superstar, which is no necessarily a bad thing. Clean looking shoe in a safe and classic colorway.

First Look At The Porsche Design x adidas Ultra Boost Triple White
By SoleInsider
One week ago, we gave you a first look at the Porsche Design x adidas Ultra Boost collaboration. That particular shoe comes in an all-black colorway. It turns out that there is at least one more colorway coming out of that collaboration and this one has the Ultra Boost come in a all-white motif. Let’s get a first look at the Porsche Design x adidas Ultra Boost Triple White.
This white version of the collaboration appears to share the same similarities as the black pair, the only difference of course, being the color of the shoe. The main features on the shoe include the white Primeknit upper complimented by the unique white plastic cage and heel counter. Porsche Design appears on the side of the heel, while the gold lace tips give the shoe somewhat of a premium feel. Lastly, a white Boost sole unit completes the monochromatic look of the shoe. Available now at select retailers, let us know what you think.
The adidas Busenitz Euro Cup Takes On Classic Superstar Styling
By SoleInsider
The adidas Busenitz is a soccer-savvy model that’s been repurposed for adidas Skateboarding’s release slate, but today we get a look at a pair referencing one of Europe’s biggest football events – the Euro Cup. A clean white leather upper sees traditional branding keep things simple, but benefits from new technology like a GeoFit cushion system and a cupsole rubber outsole to improve grip for both lifestyle and skating use. If you can remember, an inverted pair featuring a premium black base released a few summers ago for the World Cup, so it’s only right that the Busenitz hit retailers again for tournament season in Europe. The white and black combination definitely brings memories of the classic Superstar for good measure. Check out a better look at the latest three stripe’s retro offering below and pick up your pair from shops like Premier.
Primeknit Returns To The adidas Stan Smith In OG Colors
By SoleInsider
Vintage looks and a modern construction combine flawlessly on this upcoming set of the adidas Stan Smith Primeknit for the “OG” pack. Ditching the traditional leather, the Stan Smith goes modern with a textile woven Primeknit upper detailed with the original colored heel tabs and tongue labels in your choice of green, red, or navy. The bright white Primeknit upper is complimented with off-white soles, giving the shoe more of a vintage feel, despite the updated upper. The Stan Smith Primeknit OG pack will be available at select adidas Originals stockists globally later this month.
Originally seen in the early 2000’s, the adidas Climacool 1 is set to make a return once again for Spring 2016.
Offered in four classic colorways consisting of black, white, red and green, the iconic running model is defined by its breathable mesh upper which allows sufficient ventilation throughout as well as a comfortable, snug fit.
Additionally reinforced with plastic panneling to help provide 360 degree cooling, the perforated sockliner, moulded midsole and decoupled rubber outsole adds extra comfort and support all around.
Retailing for $130 each, you can purchase your favorite pair at select adidas stockists starting April 2nd.
Buy, Pass, Wait: Air Jordan 12 Wings, Air Jordan 12 French Blue, adidas CC1 ClimaCool, Under Armour Curry Two Bay Area Pack
By SoleInsider
In this week’s edition of Buy, Pass, Wait, there is very little dissension among the KoF Staff for the weekend’s big sneaker releases. What started out as a rather innocuous start to April soon morphed into one of the bigger dates of 2016 thanks to the release of a very limited (you know it’s true because of the numbers) Air Jordan 12, adidas Originals’ latest attempt to revive an old classic and not one but two Under Armour Curry Twos for the kids to enjoy.
Juan Martinez, Editor-In-Chief: (Buy) (Buy) (Buy) (Buy) I don’t know how much more I can emphasize how much I want these. The Air Jordan 12 Playoffs are my favorite pair of Jordans and to add gold onto them would have put them on the very short list of favorite kicks of all-time. The Wings graphics puts a slight damper on the them, but not enough that I won’t give it the good old college try on Saturday.
Juan Carrillo, News: (Buy… I Wish…) I don’t own any Air Jordan 12s, but I had planned on picking up a pair sometime. The moment I saw this shoe I got infatuated by it. When I heard that the shoe would be limited to 12,000 pairs, my heart sunk. When I found out that a gold wing pattern was hidden under the upper I wanted the shoe even more but then remembered that the shoe would only be limited to 12,000 pairs. All sorts of emotions, man! I mean I’m going to try to get a pair, but I won’t be holding my breath.
Andres Carrillo, News: (Buy) Many people decided that they no longer liked this Air Jordan 12 when they saw the gold print that is hidden on the upper. I on the other hand like it even better. Hopefully I get lucky and I’m able to grab a pair.
Renz Ofizia, News: (Buy) I’m generally a fan of the silhouette. Aside from a classic palette, the application of gold has been well placed plus the revealing wings graphic on the upper is a pretty cool touch.
EIC Juan: (Got ‘Em) I spent five minutes just salivating over these yesterday. How do you think I felt about them?
I hate I’m spending this much money on sneakers lately, but because it is the year of the Air Jordan 12 (which in reality started in 2015 with the PSNY 12s), I don’t have much of a choice but to try to cop them all. Ok, that’s a lie, I do have a choice but I’m crazy. That’s the real problem.
News Juan: (Buy) The Air Jordan 12 French Blue has always been my favorite colorway on the 12s. I was pretty pumped when I heard that these would be dropping. I’ve become very selective as to which sneakers I buy as of late, but this is one that I may try to get my hands on. The color scheme is beautiful.
Andres: (Buy) Everything about this shoe is just beautiful. The leather on this pair of 12s actually looks “remastered.” Can’t wait to add these to my collection.
Renz: (Buy) This is one of my favorite colorways on the sneaker. It’s obviously appealing to the masses and will be really sought after.
EIC Juan: (Pass) Nope, can’t get enthusiastic about things I don’t like, sorry. I would like to apologize to the Nike Dunk because I errantly said that there was a pair of that model that reminded me of these 2 Lows. It was actually the Nike Air Python and boy, was that a dumpster fire after finally seeing it in person. This is basically the low-cut version of the Pythons and all it does is heighten my appreciation for the Legends of the Summer 2s for doing the impossible and making the Air Jordan 2 appealing.
News Juan: (Pass) I actually like the low top version of the Air Jordan 2, but it’s just too much red for my liking. The shoe is cool and definitely has a pop to it, but it’s not cool enough for me to want to get a pair.
Andres: (Pass) I thought the all-red shoe craze was over? Am I wrong? Not only is there too much red on this shoe, but it’s also an Air Jordan 2 Low. Maybe it was was the mid-top version I would wear it. Nah, I don’t think so.
Renz: (Pass) I really like tonal red finishes on sneakers. The only problem is I would’ve preferred it on the original form instead of this low-cut.
Under Armour Curry Two Bay Area Pack
Under Armour
EIC Juan: (Pass on the Giants, Wait on the A’s) I like the Curry Two Lows and I can’t wait until they go on sale so I can scoop them up for cheap. I’m not feeling the Orange on the Giants pair even though I love orange, but the A’s colorway actually reminds me less of baseball and more of golf. The green and yellow accents are the perfect pair to rock at Augusta National for The Master next week. If we can get Jordan Spieth to break these out during a practice round, it would be an awesome sight.
News Juan: (Pass) I like the Under Armour Curry Two Low, just not in these colorways. It probably doesn’t help that my team is the L.A. Dodgers either. Both of these colorway are probably a must have if you live in the Bay area, but since I don’t, there are an easy pass for me.
Andres: (Pass) I’m a fan of the LA Dodgers so you’ll never see me wearing anything that represents the Giants. As far as the A’s colorway goes I’m not a really a fan of those colors.
Renz: (Pass) Aside from being a devoted Yankees fan, I’m just not a fan of the sneaker in low-top form in general. Although out of the two, I’d side with the A’s in terms of a more appealing colorway.
adidas Climacool 1
adidas
EIC Juan: (Pass) I vaguely remember these first dropping and not really caring for them too much back then. Not much has changed in that time, but with the tonal vibe (yes, even the red pair), I can see these being a hit from out of nowhere like the Sock Dart was for Nike.
News Juan: (Pass) Don’t get me wrong, I love the look of the shoe, but when it comes to adidas, I don’t think I’d purchase a shoe if it doesn’t come with a Boost sole unit. Call me petty, but once you’ve had the best, nothing can compare. Maybe somewhere down the line adidas puts this upper on top of a Boost sole unit. When that day comes, I’m all on it.
Andres: (Pass) It’s cool to see adidas bring back this retro runner. It seems like many people will embrace the shoe more than they did back when it originally released. I think it looks decent but I just don’t like the tonal colorway. Hopefully more colors are released in the future.
Renz: (Buy) Back when it originally released I didn’t pay attention since I cared more about what Nike only offered. Design-wise, I think it’s a solid runner and seems to have inspired a few other silhouettes today. I like it all in tonal iterations.
Nike SB Dunk High PRM Waffle
EIC Juan: (Wait) I like them, but not enough to cop them without getting a chance to see them in person and really get a feel for them. It harkens back to Nike SB’s super creative days when you would wonder what their designers were doing and thinking to come up with such amazingly mind-blowing designs. Crap, now I want some waffle run-off.
News Juan: (Pass) The theme is “different”, but at my age, I’d rather have my waffles on a plate, not on my shoes. The design is done well, it’s just not my style.
Andres: (Pass) I love me some chicken and waffles and I think Nike did a pretty good job of creating the theme on this shoe. I’m really selective with my SB’s though (only have 3 pairs) so I don’t plan on buying these.
Renz: (Buy) My days of collecting Dunks are over, but if there’s an appealing design, I would consider on purchasing. The execution on this were well done and I’m just biased towards the colorway.
Stay Chilled With This adidas Climacool 1 In Forest Green
By SoleInsider
Originally seen during the early 2000s, the adidas Climacool 1 is set to make a return this year, and certainly suited for Spring/Summer.
Highlighted in forest green, the running shoe is defined by its breathable upper comprised of mesh, which provides the wearer with a temperate feeling during warm, humid days.
Tonal synthetics are applied on the sides via its three stripe motif and forefoot for additional reinforcement as it’s all supplemented atop a matching rubber sole unit.
Finished off with tonal laces and silver branding on the tongue, you can find a pair at select adidas retailers on April 2nd for $130.
I barely remembered this silhouette. Most likely because I was a Nikehead. (Still am but now that I’m older, I’m more open to other brands). Anyway, I’m a fan of runners in general and it’s nice to see this model revived once again.

Author’s Take
What stood out the most to me is the price of the shoes. Between $285 and $340? That’s a little too rich for my blood.
Watch Now: The adidas Ultra Boost Triple Black Is What Sneakerheads Have Been Waiting For
It turns out the the initial release date adidas NMD R1 Primeknit Camo was a global release date. That means that the shoe will still make its debut on the proposed April 9th date, only problem is that we (U.S.A) will not be one of the countries getting that shoe on the 9th. Expect lots of international retailers to be getting the shoes next week, but we will not be one of them. So when will we be able to pick up a pair? That questions still remains to be unanswered. The only thing that adidas has mentioned is that the shoes will be available sometime this summer.
I’m okay with the release postponement. I like the shoe, but I?m not crazy about the camo colorways. I?d rather wait for more solid colored offerings to drop somewhere down the line.

The Pirate Black And Moonrock adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Will Be Restocking Soon
By SoleInsider
Two colorways of the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 will be restocking next month. European retailer END Clothing will be utilizing a program they’re calling END.Launches that aims to eliminate the use of bots.
The adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Moonrock and Pirate Black colorways will both be restocking via END.Launches. The way the program works is people register their email and when the product drops they send you a link to the purchase page. Only those who register can access the purchase page. Ideally this gives everyone a fair shot at obtaining a pair.
If you’re interested in finding out more and registering then you can do so here. Both pairs will be restocking on April 7th.
The adidas ZX Flux Racer Rocks The Core Black Look
By SoleInsider
The adidas ZX Flux Racer goes full-on stealth mode as it’s latest colorway has the sleek looking shoe come in a Core Black colorway. With black hues placed on the shoe from top to bottom, the shoe manages to exude a clean and tonal vibe.
The Racer version of the ZX Flux comes in a all-mesh upper accompanied by the clear heel counter and the shiny Three Stripes branding placed on the side panels. Additional features on the shoe include the all-black sole unit, black laces and tongue. The only part of the shoe that does not come in black is the small stripe placed on the two-toned heel pull tab. If you’re diggin’ the triple black look, you’re now able to pick up a pair at select retailers.
The adidas ZX Flux Racer is much sleeker looking that the OG ZX Flux. I’d definitely pick these over any ZX Flux. I just wish the shoe had a little bit more of contrast. Overall, still a good looking shoe.
