adidas Tubular Doom Primeknit Special Forces Releases This Saturday
By SoleInsider
While everyone goes crazy over the dozens of NMD Runners releasing this week, adidas has big plans for another one of their popular new silhouettes. The Tubular Doom has only been seen in a few colorways so far, but the general reception of the sneaker has been overwhelmingly positive. That trend looks to continue with the “Special Forces” edition, which comes in Primeknit form, with a beige tonal upper that pays homage to the classic army fatigues. While this version may not be a vibrant as the recently surfaced pink colorway, there’s no doubt that fans of the shoe are going to be very excited when this color releases this Saturday, March 19th. Get a better look at the shoe below and stay tuned for more Tubular Doom releases in the near future.
adidas soccer just added another heavy hitter to their arsenal as they have recently announced a partnership with soccer sensation, Paul Pogba. This brand new partnership between adidas and Pogba will secure the soccer star for many years to come. While being a part of adidas, Pogba will be given the chance to expand his creative talents as well as elevate his brand while doing the same for the Three Stripes. Both parties have a lot planned for the future as they are set to embark on many engagements and product launches.
In regards to cementing his decision, Pogba went on to say:
?This is the first sponsor contract I?ve signed and it?s a very important decision for me. I chose adidas because we have shared passions and values. adidas has the same vibe as I do, on and off the pitch.?
Both adidas and Pogba are excited to begin this new partnership. One of the first projects they will be working on will be on the first silhouette that Pogba will wear, the exclusive ACE 16+ PURECONTROL model, which happens to be the first laceless soccer boot that allows for optimal control and comfort. Being that he is now a part of team adidas, he will have his very own PE of the soccer boot which will come in hues of black and gold. Check out the images above and let us know what you think.
Last week, we got a glimpse into adidas’ vision of the future with their Tubular line. But one thing that we glossed over at the time was the number of people were wearing the NMD. And not just the limited colorways that have dropped either; influencers, adidas PR, cool people and myself were all wearing different kinds of NMD, including the City Sock. I almost felt bad I was wearing a pair that actually released. If that was any indication of where adidas is headed, the future might be Tubular, but the NMD is the revolution.
Starting tomorrow, adidas Originals goes public public with the NMD. After several months of hype and limited drops, the adidas NMD drops to the mainstream with a variety of colorways and styles at all the major retailers in both general and limited (that’s code for “it won’t be rare, but maybe don’t wait”) quantities. If you’ve been wondering what the fuss about NMD is all about, you’re going to soon get your chance to find out. As somebody who once boarded the adidas Pure Boost train and didn’t think it could get any better, March 17 is going to be an interesting day.
Aggressively priced between $95 and $170 in men’s, women’s and kids sizes, the three stripes is looking to target a wide audience, going from the impulse buy territory all the way up to those looking to follow in the footsteps of the more limited drops. Keeping with the theme of the urban nomad (get it?), the colorways are made for the casual city dwellers who want the pinnacle of comfort and modern style but don’t want to look like an Easter egg (not that’s there’s anything wrong with multicolor). Don’t live in the city? That’s fine too because the NMD appeals to all types with their muted color palettes. No disrespect to Kanye and what he’s doing, but I’m cool living in a future that moves in the Mass Effect/NMD direction and less the dystopian Fallout nightmares of his Yeezy fashion collections.
Here’s what to expect from the NMD proper. We’ll talk about the Chukka in a future post once I actually see them in person and the City Sock once they get closer to launch.

If everything breaks right, adidas could be looking at their modern day Stan Smith or Superstar. And considering how much money those two pairs makes for adidas now decades later, the NMD could be that “next” thing. And even if isn’t, you’re stuck with a very comfortable pair of kicks for a good price. Not a bad deal in the long run, really…
All of the Kobe retirement noise has brought back a wave of nostalgia for those who grew up watching the Black Mamba become one of the greatest to ever play the game of basketball. Nike’s yet to capitalize on any sort of Kobe retro – instead focusing on his Nike Kobe 11 with a number of enviable colorways. That being said, you can’t forget about one of the most prolific scorers the league has ever seen in Tracy McGrady. T-Mac was the victim of father time as his body eventually broke down with injuries throughout the years, but his ability to score in sporadic bursts with a sweet stroke and explosive first step despite a deceptively sleepy appearance made him one of the most unique players to watch throughout the 2000s. adidas brought back one of McGrady’s more memorable models in the adidas T-Mac 5 in a number of Asian exclusives, and the latest takes a lifestyle approach with a bolstered suede floral graphic. The T-Mac 2 and 3 served as the definitive peak of T-Mac madness, but his fifth silhouette did boast some interesting features; a 90s-inspired strap and hardwood on the heel to showcase Tracy’s love for simply being on the floor. Check out more photos below and we’ll let you know if this pair ever arrives stateside.

Could The adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Appear In NBA 2K16
By SoleInsider
Ronnie Singh, the Community Lead At 2K, posted this picture today of the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 that he received as a gift. You’re probably asking why it’s even relevant, right? The interesting piece of news comes with the caption that he wrote with the picture.
The captions reads “New @adidas #Yeezy fire came over today from my guy @jrdup21. Think these would be pretty sick in#MyPARK. Whatcha all think?” For those us that play video games, specifically NBA 2K16, you’d probably know that Ronnie just hinted that the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 could possibly be appearing in the game. Ronnie is the man that can have sneakers scanned and have them show up in the game via an update, so if anyone has the power to get this done it’s him.
What are your thoughts on the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 possibly appearing on NBA 2K16?

By SoleInsider
When you think of what the most popular colorway of the adidas Ultra Boost it’s pretty much a no-brainer. It’s the all-white/Triple White colorway that was worn by Kanye West and then exploded ever since. Who would have known that an all-white Primeknit sneaker would be so popular?
It turns out that adidas will be releasing a new all-white colorway of the adidas Ultra Boost for the Spring of 2016. This new Triple White Ultra Boost will feature a gradient pattern on the breathable Primeknit upper along with silver Ultra Boost branding on the heel and a white rubber outsole. Take a look at the images above and look for these to release some time this Spring possibly May for a retail price of $180. Will you cop?

Author’s Take
No matter how clean the white on white Primeknit may look, I don’t think I’ll ever buy a pair of all-white Primeknit/Flyknit sneakers. These things are a dirt trap.
Heres Your Best Look At All The adidas NMD_R1 Shoes Releasing This Week
By SoleInsider
Released sparingly so far, things are about to change. The adidas NMD_R1 is dropping in a full-on assault of colorways and constructions this Thursday, and here is a round-up of them all. Actually, there may even be a few more, but this is your most comprehensive look yet at the full range of NMD iterations, including mesh, suede, and neoprene builds in a wide assortment of colorways and sizing for men and women. Check them all out, and pick up your favorite(s) at select adidas Originals retailers around the world on March 17th.
Following the recent release of a black/white striped iteration, the newly-introduced adidas NMD R1 is set to arrive in a clean all-white finish very soon.
To perfectly coordinate with the warm months ahead, the stylish lifestyle sneaker is essentially defined by its breathable primeknit upper and sock-like detailing on the collar to ensure a snug, comfortable fit.
Tonal synthetic detailing are evidenced by the brand’s signature three-stripe motif adorning the side panels, TPU eye stays and additional synthetic components gracing the heel tab and comfortable boost sole unit.
Finished off with branded pull tabs on the rear and matching laces, you can purchase this stand out pair at select adidas locations starting March 17th.
Celebrate St. Patricks Day With This Raf Simons x adidas Ozweego 2
By SoleInsider
In addition to a recent gold iteration of the Raf Simons x adidas Ozweego 2, a more subdued colorway of the exclusive silhouette is also offered for this Spring 2016.
Featuring Dark Green as its primary hue, the bold yet bright tone graces the mesh, leather and synthetic upper, as well as the midsole unit, inner lining, tongue label and laces. To complement the profile, subtle touches of grey are applied on the toe box and tongue, while soft pink graces the outsole component.
Further defined by futuristic translucent silicone capsules located on the sides, rear, as well as on the tongue label in a lightish blue tint, the component is also detailed with RF branding. Additional markings are evidenced on the heel which bears the iconic three-stripe branding in contrasting white, while patches of suede adorn the heel tab and heel counter for additional premium flair.
You can purchase this standout pair at select adidas retailers now for $430.
I’m a fan of the design in general but not the price. It is a designer collab, but I like the colorway overall. That pink outsole was a nice addition as well.
The iconic low-top silhouette is essentially colored in a tonal eye-catching yellow hue across its entirety. Comprised of perforated leather across its side panels to allow breathability, smooth leather is implemented on the toe box, tongue and heel counter to further solidify its build.
Additionally detailed with a complementing semi-translucent mid-sole unit, the pair is finished off with matching laces, eyelets and subtle trefoil branding embossed on the heel tabs.
You can purchase a pair at select adidas stores now for $90.
You Dont Want To Pass Up On The adidas Tubular Doom Special Forces
By SoleInsider
Adidas will be keeping things in the tonal department with this upcoming colorway of the adidas Tubular Doom.
After giving you an official look at the upcoming EQT Pink colorway last week that saw the ENTIRE sneaker covered in a bright pink upper, today we get a look at another new color option that I’m pretty sure more people will embrace. Dubbed the Special Forces colorway, this Tubular Doom comes in a tonal beige upper that may or may not remind you of Desert Camo. Some details of this shoe include a perforated heel, khaki overlays and an off-white Tubular midsole.
Take a look at the images above and look for the adidas Tubular Doom Special Forces at select adidas retailers beginning on March 19th.
The only colorway of the Tubular Doom that I’ve liked so far has been the Ronnie Fieg collaboration, until now. I love the off-white/beige hue used on this pair. My only problem would be figuring out how to wear a pair of Tubular Dooms.
We May Be Seeing The adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Release In Infant Sizes
By SoleInsider
Kanye West and the adidas Yeezys took the sneaker world by storm last year when it released the Boost 750, Boost 350 and to a lesser extend the 950 Boot. While both men and women were able to enjoy the sneakers since they released in some pretty smaller sizes, the adidas Yeezy line has yet to cater to little ones.
That may end this year as adidas could possible be releasing infant/toddler sizes of the Yeezy Boost 350. An image recently leaked that shows a release calendar which lists the Yeezy Boost 350 releasing in infant sizes beginning in August in colorways that include Pirate Black, Turtle Dove, and Beluga. According to this picture the infant Yeezy Boost 350s will retail for $120 which is pretty expensive considering that the adult pairs run for $200.
There has been non confirmation on whether this rumor is true but we’ll keep you updated as soon as we know more.

The original look is replicated on this upcoming version, featuring the same red and blue midsole inserts but with an all-white upper replacing the tonal black of the initial NMD release. Take a full look here, and expect the NMD R1 Primeknit in white at select adidas Originals retailers in May.
