The adidas EQT Racing 93/16 Is The Best Of Both Worlds
By SoleInsider
Let’s face it, a lot of older heads will forever love the aesthetics of the classic looking sneaker. But there is no denying that today’s technology makes shoes much more comfortable compared to shoes that released 20-30 year ago. Shoes like the adidas EQT Racing 93/16 are for people who like the vintage look with the modern feel.
The shoe you see above utilizes an adidas EQT Racing 93 upper and pairs it up with the beloved Boost technology placed on the sole. That means you still have the classic look of the shoe, but you’re feet will be much more comfortable since it comes with Boost. Best of both worlds, right? Available internationally, it’s only a matter of time before these arrive stateside.

The adidas Ultra Boost serves as a representation of how far adidas has come strictly off the progression of Boost and Primeknit technologies.

Finishline announced that they’d be restocking the true and through Triple White – the pair with an updated white Continental outsole to match the pristine upper – in a surprise restock sometime next week.

400,000 Pairs Of The adidas NMD Were Sold On Launch Day!
By SoleInsider
March 17th will forever be known as the day that the adidas NMD went public public. On that day, adidas released an endless amount of colorways and versions of the hottest sneaker on the street, the adidas NMD. Although there were NMD releases before this day, this was the first time that a lot of pairs were made available all over the world. While many people were able to get a pair, there were also many who struck out (such as myself). Does that mean that adidas only had a limited stock? Nope. As a matter of fact, it is being reported that adidas was able to sell more than 400,000 pairs on launch day!
CEO of adidas-Group, Herbert Hainer provided this information while going over the adidas’ recent success during its first quarter of 2016 earnings report. Hainer also went on to say:
“On the one hand, it is of course the unique look and feel as NMD is technically a running shoe realized as a lifestyle sneaker. Its midsole is elevated with adidas Boost technology, while the upper utilizes the integrity of adidas Primeknit. This offers highest comfort, combined with cutting-edge design. On the other hand, the success of NMD also goes back to a number of special activations, including launch events and campaigns that took place in key cities around the world.”
Did you hop on the adidas NMD hyper train? Do you see it dying out any time soon? Are you a fan of the model? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
A week from now, adidas Skateboarding will be debuting their Away Days film, a multi-year journey that takes some of the biggest names in the sport and puts them in locations both familiar and unfamiliar. It speaks to the global view that adidas takes and how the brand is universal yet unconventional at the same time. There are spots all around the world that are known for being fantastic places to skate; Away Days goes there and goes beyond that as well.
To celebrate the Los Angeles premiere (which we will be attending), we received quite the care package from the three stripes. Unboxed live on Facebook, Periscope and Snapchat, the package not only includes the special white and gold Away Days version of Adi-Ease Premiere, but also a photo art book, a soccer-styled jersey and a scarf for those away days when we’re not in Los Angeles. Because wearing a scarf in LA in the middle of May is just weird. Check out the video unboxing replay above and be sure to follow us everywhere on social because you never what else might come through the KoF Mailbox.

The adidas NMD_R1 Blanch Blue Is Strictly For The Females
By SoleInsider
Although the adidas NMD_R1 Blanch Blue may be labeled as a women’s exclusive colorway, I’m pretty sure that a lot of the men who fit into them will be more than willing to pick up a pair.
Said to be a part of the Geometric Camo pack, this women’s colorway comes with several different shades of blue that cover the entire mesh constructed upper adorned by the geometric print. Below you will find the white Boost midsole to add contrast and most importantly, comfort. A black outsole rounds out the look of the shoe. No word on when these will drop stateside, but they can now be found at select retailers in Europe such as SneakerStore. Hot or not? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

By SoleInsider
Over the past several weeks, several different colorways of the adidas NMD have restocked. The latest one to do so is the adidas NMD Clear Brown. This colorway made its debut a while back as a part of the big adidas NMD release day in which lots of colorways dropped on the same day.
Considered to be a women’s colorway, the adidas NMD comes in a tonal Clear Brown upper done in a neoprene and mesh construction. The only part of the shoe that contrasts the upper are the orange hits placed on the heel tab and the white Boost-infused sole unit. Available now at select retailers such as Oneness, pick up your pair for $140.
The adidas Oddity Series Gets Luxurious With The EQT Support
By SoleInsider
Switching from an array of bright, mismatched colors to a blend of multiple textures, the adidas “Oddity” series goes luxurious in it latest iteration. One of the luxuriously-odd models dropping this spring is the EQT Support that you see here, featuring a subtly wild construction in various textures including cream snakeskin, white python, and crackled, suede, and full-grain leathers. The EQT Support “Luxe Oddity” is arriving now at select adidas originals retailers like Oneness.
It’s no question that Kanye West has been very influential on the growth of adidas in the United States, since his abrupt departure from Nike back in 2013.
Sales of his footwear in particular have been heavily-sought after and his presence with the brand has clearly persuaded the public to deem it “cool” (especially those who are fashionably-inclined) to consider the German sportswear company much more, aside from their arch rivals.
Since a 20% decline in 2014 in North America, the brand has recorded an impressive first-quarter this year, with net sales rising 22% on a currency-neutral basis, which was even better in 2015 with a 7% growth. Footwear sales soared 54%, helped by increases for running and the smaller baseball and football categories.
Mark King, president of Adidas Group North America, tells Fortune; that running shoes grew by 30% and the Ultra Boost line was simply the best seller. Retail data from The NPD Group also revealed that the Three Stripes is gaining popularity faster in running, compared to Nike and Under Armour, although, Nike still commands nearly 60% of the market share, while adidas is at 5% and Under Armour just 3%.
Additionally, the rise of activewear for both sports and day-to-day activities has given other sportswear brands a boost, since the attire is currently trending, and should continue to grow as this forthcoming Summer 2016 Olympics serves as a global platform for more marketing opportunities.
Furthermore, with the aid of partnerships of other influential artists such as Pharrell Williams and others, as well as big notable athlete endorsement deals, it creates a halo effect for the consumers, which essentially explains the bias shown by customers towards certain products because of a favorable experience with other products made by the same company.
Mark King states;
?Americans like winners, we needed to not just have athletes but the best athletes.?
Classic Tones On The New adidas Pure Boost ZG Prime
By SoleInsider
Following its official reveal, a detailed look at the newly-introduced adidas Pure Boost ZG Prime is now showcased.
Comprised of the label’s signature primeknit across its upper in tonal black, the lightweight runner is detailed with a molded eyestay and dynamic-fit system that hugs your foot like a second skin. Outfitted with a contrasting red EVA outsole and clean white midsole unit that evokes a floating profile, as well as offering superb comfort, the sneaker is engineered to naturally expand with your foot, providing an ultra-comfortable fit.
Priced at $140, fans can start purchasing a pair at select adidas accounts nationwide now.
It looks pretty similar to the Ultra Boost, but it’s still pretty solid. The colorway is nice and versatile. I’m not tempted to purchase one yet though.
Sneakers In 4K Retro (Kinda): Nike Air Foamposite One Mirror
The Simple Italia Independent x adidas Court Vantage
By SoleInsider
This Italia Independent x adidas Court Vantage consists as the latest collaboration between the fashion imprint and German sportswear company for Spring/Summer 2016.
Flaunting a simplistic design, the low-top sneaker is comprised of a woven mesh upper that includes smooth leather detailing on the toe box, along the eyelets and tongue. Further detailed with intricate white stitching on the tip of the tongue, the pristine hue is continued throughout its inner lining.
In addition, the heel tab is comprised of glossy leather for additional flair, while red/green lace tips add a hint of vibrance. All adhered atop a clean white rubber sole unit, co-branding is evident on the tongue and rear.
You can find this pair at select adidas stockists overseas first, while a stateside release is imminent.
It looks like the image you see above is an actuall pair of the upcoming adidas Yeezy Boost 550. We’ve heard an endless amount of rumors and seen a handful of images regarding what the shoe will actually look like, but it looks like this is the one.
If you take a close look at the picture you will see that the shoe has a higher ankle cut compared to the Yeezy Boost 350, sort of making it a semi-low top sneaker. The upper still comes in Primeknit construction, the only difference is the new patterns placed on the shoe. Another notable and new feature comes by way of the outsole shape as it now comes with a more sleek motif and a translucent appearance. For whatever it’s worth, the tags also read Yeezy Boost 550. No word yet on when these will drop, but keep it locked as more information begins to arise. Also, be sure to visit our adidas Yeezy Boost 550 hub page for all the latest info and images regarding this potential release.
Don’t really see much of a difference between this pair and the 350. In my opinion, it’s kind of redundant. With that being said, you damn well these are still going to sell out.
