Author’s Take

I?m pretty biased towards this color combo. I probably would purchase it in every style. I haven?t bought this model yet, but I?m already tempted with this variation.

I’m always a fan of this collab. I’m an advocate for simplicity, but I’m not really inclined towards the silhouette. Nice colorways though.

Sneaker Grails: The Light Side And Dark Side Star Wars adidas Superstar

May the Fourth be with you, celebrate this totally fabricated (but kind of awesome because Star Wars) holiday you will. As every blog tries to shoehorn in Star Wars-related content on their site in a totally blatant attempt to garner clicks, we here at KicksOnFire would like to present our own totally blatant attempt to garner clicks on Star Wars Day with a special edition of Sneaker Grails. It’s like we’re Han Solo trying shove Luke Skywalker into a frozen Tauntaun over here. The guts are kinda gross and smelly but the kicks are dope…

Ask any Star Wars fan what the best film in the seven that have dropped so far was and they will undoubtedly say The Empire Strikes Back (if they say otherwise they are just wrong and possibly terrible people… kidding… maybe…). The sequel to A New Hope turned the characters that we all fell in love with into actual human beings that you could relate to, whether it was the Leia and Han dynamic or Darth Vader having conflicted feelings towards a foe he would normally just force choke the s**t out of (being that foe is his son will do that to a father, I guess) or Luke trying to find his way in the world. Chuck Klosterman cites Empire’s multi-generational influence and who we view as the hero, the anti-hero and the villain depends on how old we were when we saw the film. For example, while a kid might think Luke “lost” to Vader in Empire, a teenager might think he did the noble thing in not selling out; meanwhile, an adult might look at that situation and realize that maybe what Vader is pitching – galactic domination and a pretty dope life as the heir to the throne – isn’t so bad.

What I remember most from Empire when I first saw it on Laserdisc (yeah…) and the subsequent hundreds of times I watched it afterwards was the feeling that Luke was kind of a whiny brat who had the best teacher in the world and totally deserved getting the smackdown laid into him by Vader. I was maybe seven or eight years old. Yoda for the win basically.

In 2007, adidas did not have the Star Wars license yet, but that did not stop them from releasing a “Light Side” and “Dark Side” Consortium pack that paid homage to the movies. Housed in packaging that is very reminiscent of the old school Kenner action figures, the “Vader” and “Yoda” colorways each featured distinct nods to the iconic characters. The “Vader” was done in a shiny all-black leather upper style with gold hits throughout the shoe and a red sole while the “Yoda” had a light brown hemp upper that referenced his homely attire and light green embellishments on the lace tip and sole. Maybe the Lucasfilm people wouldn’t have paid too much attention to the pack if a few things were done differently, but what really put it over the top was the use of the iconic Star Wars font on the packaging and the shoes. It’s possible that this is what led the three stripes to pony up the money to use Star Wars in an official capacity and considering it’s a partnership that remains to this day, it’s money well-spent.

As is the case with any Consortium release, this not-so-subtle tribute was not produced in mass quantities. Various sources online range the actual number of pairs out there between as many as two thousand to as little as 800 for each character. They sold out quickly and are now in the hands of sneakerheads and Star Wars collectors. So if you see somebody rock a pair this Star Wars Day, give them the nod of approval, you must.

Will We Ever See This adidas J Wall 2 Hit Retailers

adidas J Wall 2 1 adidas J Wall 2 2 adidas J Wall 2 3 adidas J Wall 2 4 adidas J Wall 2 5 adidas J Wall 2 6 adidas J Wall 2 7 adidas J Wall 2 8

With John Wall’s contract with adidas having ended this year it seems unlikely that the two will agree to another deal since he wore a few Jordan retros during the second half of the NBA season.

That means that adidas is probably stuck with a lot of adidas J Wall 2s that they designed and will never release. One of those colorways may be the pair that you see above which features an off-white upper with colorful graffiti-like detailing on the side panels and midsole. Capping things off is an icy blue translucent outsole, silver detailing on the heel and tongue branding, and BOOST cushioning on the heel.

Would you like to see this J Wall 2 hit retailers? Let us know in the comments below.

Author’s Take

This is definitely one of the nicer J Wall 2 colorways that I’ve seen. The fact that it has BOOST cushioning makes them even better. Not sure if adidas will release these but I think they should.

Check out this adidas NMD custom we came across. Dubbed the Aqua Dripped, the shoe as created by Duane Gavins Jr. Gavins gave the shoe a “wet” look as the upper comes in a bright blue look with drip detailing to give the shoe a wet/dripped look. Offsetting the look of the shoe is the pink slime placed on the toebox. ‘Dizz’ is placed on the heels of the shoes to complete the main features on the custom.Thoughts on this adidas NMD custom?

Introducing The adidas Y-3 Qasa Sandal

adidas Y-3 Qasa Sandal 1 adidas Y-3 Qasa Sandal 2 adidas Y-3 Qasa Sandal 3 adidas Y-3 Qasa Sandal 4 adidas Y-3 Qasa Sandal 5

 

There’s no doubt that the adidas Y-3 Qasa is one of the most recognized models from the Y-3 line, but now we’re getting ready to see the beloved model converted into a sandal. Introducing the adidas Y-3 Qasa Sandal.

It’s easy to recognize the sandal as the Y-3 Qasa since the sole of the shoe remains true to form. The upper of the sandal is made out of the same elastic bands you fins on the Y-3 Qasa sneaker, the only difference is that the elastic straps are the ONLY thing you will find on the sandal. Just like on the sneaker, Y-3 branding is placed on the heel. Out now, pick up your very own pair for the retail price of $350.

Author’s Take

The sandal is nice. It definitely still has that Y-3 feel to them. I just don’t understand why they’r retailing for $350. For that reason alone I won’t look at these twice.

adidas Tubular Nova Cardboard

Don’t worry, this upcoming release of the adidas Tubular Nova isn’t actually made out of cardboard, it’s just the name of the tan hue used on the stylish silhouette. The materials are actually anything but cardboard when it comes to quality, as the shoe features a durable canvas base with suede overlays for the tonal light brown upper, which gets paired with the signature ribbed Tubular sole in white. With the shoe box being the only thing associated with these sneakers that’s actually cardboard, this latest adidas Tubular Nova is arriving at select overseas retailers now, and should be available in the US soon.

It Appears That There May Be No adidas Yeezy Boost Releasing Next Month After All

2015 MTV Video Music Awards - Fixed Show kanye west line

Yesterday it was reported via Hypebeast that the next adidas Yeezy Boost sneaker was expected to release on June 6th which had many people wondering whether it would be the 350, 750 or maybe the new 550 silhouette.

A day later we have some new updates regarding this potential Yeezy Boost release. Highsnobiety has passed on a statement made by new Yeezy President Pete Fox regarding the upcoming Yeezy release and it reads as follows:

?As a first of several launch announcements planned for this year, the highly anticipated YEEZY footwear collection from Kanye West?s own signature line will be released globally on June 6, 2016 in select high-end fashion boutiques, specialty stores and online.?

Notice how the statement does not mention adidas anywhere. This probably means that we’ll be seeing something that was strictly made by Kanye similar to his boot line that was released last Fall. The statement also reads “from Kanye West’s own signature line.” So it looks like no adidas Yeezy Boost in the foreseeable future.

We’ll keep you updated with the latest here at Kicks On Fire.

The Popular adidas Y-3 Qasa Is Now A Summer Sandal


The adidas Y-3 Qasa has been holding down the three stripe’s lifestyle department for quite some time now, so when we got word that adidas Y-3 was turning it into a sandal, we weren’t the least bit surprised. Other brands have gotten in on the slide game this summer, with the likes of the Reebok Instapump Fury getting the convertible treatment too. The Qasa has seen countless installments in the past and seems to be a silhouette always on the cutting edge of trends and changes in the sneaker world. Here the neoprene straps hold the sandal together while an exposed toe and heel are encapsulated by a structured rubberized sole. What do you think of the Qasa Sandal? Check out a better view below and know that select sizes are available from Footpatrol today.

Kanyes June 6th YEEZY Footwear Releases Are Not With adidas


What’s going on with the adidas Yeezy line? We’ve yet to see a Yeezy Boost release in 2016 and now we’re getting word that Kanye’s latest YEEZY footwear launch will be on June 6th – without the help of adidas’ production. Pete Fox, President of the YEEZY label released the following statement:

?As a first of several launch announcements planned for this year, the highly anticipated YEEZY footwear collection from Kanye West?s own signature line will be released globally on June 6, 2016 in select high-end fashion boutiques, specialty stores and online.?

The statement makes sure to be crystal clear that adidas won’t have any involvement with the upcoming YEEZY launch as it’s been independently produced just like the YEEZY Season 2 drop. So what does that say about the three stripes and Kanye’s partnership going forward? Check out a brief preview of the upcoming collaboration courtesy of Highsnobiety.com and stay tuned for more release announcements right here on Sneaker News.

The adidas Tubular Invader consists as the brand’s latest lifestyle silhouette this season, which is rendered a vibrant colorway of red/white.

Essentially covering the model’s suede upper, the collar and heel section of the silhouette is comprised of a textured reptilian-like leather overlay. More suede is evident on the tongue, while the model features a branded elastic band on the heel for additional flair.

Offset against a crisp white rubber sole unit and more red adorning the heel, the sneaker is finished off with perforations on the toe box and the label’s iconic three-stripe motif across its side panels.

You can purchase a pair at select adidas locations nationwide now for $110.

Author’s Take

I like the simplicity of the profile. I can’t dislike this colorway either. I’m just biased towards it. The only thing I dislike is the textured detailing on the rear.

A Nude-Colored adidas Originals Tubular Nova

To follow-up on a recent black/white offering, the new adidas Originals Tubular Nova is rendered in another appealing colorway for Spring 2016, this time in beige.

Essentially covering the sneaker’s textile upper and distinctive suede overlays across its toe cap and intricately designed side panels which acts as the model’s lacing apparatus, the neutral tone is continued towards the rear and inner lining as well.

Additionally, the notable branded elastic band on its heel incorporates a slightly darker tone to complement the overall palette, while a crisp white tube-inspired sole unit finishes off the aesthetically pleasing profile.

You can purchase this pair at select adidas accounts overseas first, while a stateside release is imminent.

Dont Sleep On This New Camo adidas NMD

ADIDAS NMD 1 ADIDAS NMD 2 ADIDAS NMD 3 ADIDAS NMD 4

When it comes to adidas there’s no denying that the NMD is the most popular sneaker right now. Since we haven’t seen a Yeezy Boost release in quite some time adidas has been giving us more than enough colorways of the new NMD silhouette to keep us happy for the moment.

However, you have to be pretty quick with the trigger finger because most colorways of the NMD that release sell out pretty quickly. A new camo colorway has just hit retailers as you can see in the images above. A combination of black and different shades of grey cover the mesh upper on this pair of NMDs while a contrasting white BOOST midsole adds some contrast.

You can look for this pair of NMDs at select retailers now, but don’t sleep because they won’t last long.

via: Renarts


Author’s Take

Camo looks good on the NMD. This just might be a pair I add to my sneaker collection since I still don’t have a pair of NMDs.
