How many ways can adidas Originals transform the adidas Stan Smith? It’s a question we jokingly ask, but the three stripes brought back the world famous tennis classic in more ways than we can count. Primeknit iterations, Raf Simons collaborations, and more have raised the status of the already revered model, and today a new iridescent heel shakes things up in a playful homage to springtime. The drab white leather base keeps things rooted in traditionalism, but the future-focused heel panel sees a patent leather light up with silver and bright blue hues. Check out a better view below and know that shops like Suppa have this pair available for purchase today.

With all the hype surrounding the likes of the adidas Ultra Boost and adidas NMD silhouettes, it’d be easy to forget that there’s more Primeknit x Boost creations on the horizon for the three stripes. The must-have combination returns in the form of this adidas adiZero Prime Boost “Midnight”, a pair that takes the latest running innovations and fits them neatly into one flawlessly seamless design. The woven upper features an enticing metallic speckling throughout the yarn-like construction. A dual midsole with full-length Boost technology also utilizes a Torsion midfoot unit that connects to the Continental branded rubber casing for maximum stability and grip. The lightweight model comes equipped with an ominous “Midnight” navy scheme that incorporates shades of black to further the cause for a lifestyle look perfect for everyday use. Check out detailed shoes below and know that this pair is available today via Hype DC.

Kyle Lowry is having a hell of a season. He’s leading his Toronto Raptors to the NBA playoffs with a tight grip on second place and the number 1 spot in within sight. Having as good of a season as Kyle’s having, it only make sense adidas hooks him up with his very own PE version of the adidas Crazylight Boost 2.5.

The adidas Crazylight Boost 2.5 Kyle Lowry Away PE comes with a gradient fading red Primeknit upper accented by the black hits placed on toe, midsole, collar and lining. “KL” branding can be spotted on the tongue , while the Boost technology is exposed on the heel. No word yet on whether these end up dropping or not, but we’re sure plenty of Raptors fans would love to get a pair.

Raf Simons‘ latest collaboration with adidas Originals focuses on the timeless adidas Stan Smith as the Belgin designer takes the usually brand-less side panel to task with perforations forming a signature ‘R’. A number of new colorways have landed at retailers in recent weeks but this “Metallic Copper” pair is definitely a sand-out. The penny-like base will turn heads thanks to a metallic patent leather base while bold brown laces create a monochromatic effect. Retailers like Colette are stocking the pair in the near future, so check out a full view below and we’ll keep you updated on more three stripe updates right here on Sneaker News.

2015 was a banner year for adidas’ running imprint. Not only did they claim to have created their best running model ever, but they delivered on the promise with the introduction of the adidas Ultra Boost. The Primeknit upper and Boost cushion system not only created one of the most technologically advanced runners on the market, but it also doubled as a lifestyle offering co-signed by the likes of Kanye West. 2016 will bring a new iteration of the instant-classic in the adidas Ultra Boost ST. Designed to be a more stable offering with bolstered support throughout, the design is a bit sleeker and performance based than last year’s installment. Sharp angles give a forward motion motif to help get you going while the latest colorway utilizes a vibrant Sun Glow tangerine finish exclusively for the ladies. Reflective 3M speckling lands throughout the three stripe branding and heel. International spots like JD Sports have this pair in stock today. More photos below.

There’s another adidas NMD pack on the way and this one is centered around the geometric theme. Consisting of two tonal offerings, today we take a look at the official images of the adidas NMD Geometric Pack.

The Geometric Pack is made out out one red pair and one black pair made out of a mesh construction. Although there is only one color hue that makes up the upper, the tonal angled patterns throughout the upper give the shoe its geometric trait. The tonal motifs on the uppers are then placed on top of the white Boost sole accompanied by the black and cream detailing found on the “blocks”. Said to be releasing sometime in the Spring, let us know if you like what you see.

I like the idea behind the shoe, I just wish the contrast was greater on the geometric patterns. If there was a wider gap on the color of the hues, I think the shoe would look a lot better.

You’ve seen Superstars aplenty over the last year or so, but few as exotic as this. The iconic adidas sneaker takes a walk on the wild side with a textured leather upper somewhere in between elephant and reptile. Looking like just another white and black Superstar at first glance, the shoe’s wild side comes out as you inspect more closely, and see the subtle textures across the white leather with a contrasting texture on the black stripes and heel tab. The Superstar Animal is prowling into select adidas Originals retailers around the world right now.

Remember Pharrell’s “Super Color” Collection that brought us 50 monochromatic colorways of the ever-classic adidas Superstar? It looks like the three stripes was so fond of that collaboration that the brand is bringing a similar aesthetic to the adidas Stan Smith. That’s right, the tennis classic is returning this Spring 2016 season in a number of simple yet vibrant colorways belonging to the adiColor category featuring candy-coated uppers dipped in the likes of seafoam green, royal blue, or a pastel tangerine. The uppers even alternate from a smooth matte base to micro-perforations depending on the shade. We’re still holding out to see if more color options will be available, but for know you can check out the latest trio at select retailers like Kentucky’s own Oneness.

Belgium designer Raf Simons launched his first ever menswear campaign in 1995. Now two decades later, he’s expanded his reach to the likes of Christian Dior and beyond with an unparalleled attention to detail and inspired visions that only he could come up with. So what did he have planned for the adidas Stan Smith? Simons overhauled the normal lacing system with three overlaying skinny straps to mimic the three stripe branding usually absent from the Stan Smith silhouette for a playful twist. These three colorways are available right now at select shops like Hanon, so check out a detailed look below and we’ll keep you updated on stateside availability in the days and weeks to come.

Every adidas Ultra Boost colorway that has released so far has featured a white BOOST midsole. For quite some time now fans of the silhouette have been begging for colored Boost midsoles. Well now it looks like adidas will be granting us our wish.

Author’s Take

Finally adidas will be releasing an Ultra Boost with a new color on the Boost midsole. I wonder if they have plans to release all sorts of different colors in the future?

The adidas NMD is working overtime in the month of March as we’ll be seeing may different versions of the lightweight runner from adidas release for men and women.

One of the colorways of the NMD that will be releasing this month is the pair that you see above which features a black mesh upper instead of the traditional Primeknit pairs that we’ve seen on past releases. In addition to the black mesh upper we can also see white detailing on the heel tab and BOOST midsole. Wrapping things up are black and blue EVA inserts on the midsole.

Look for the this Black Mesh colorway of the adidas NMD at select adidas Originals retailers beginning on March 17th for $120.

Author’s Take

There’s good and bad things about adidas creating a mesh version of the adidas NMD. One one side it won’t be as comfortable as the Primeknit versions and on the other you’re paying $50 less. It’s really up to us (the consumers) in deciding which pair we want to pick up.

In addition to the Black Suede colorway of the adidas NMD Chukka that will be releasing on March 17th, we have just found out that there will also be a red colorway hitting retailers as well.

Just like the black pair, this Chukka boot version of the new adidas NMD will come dressed in a full suede upper but this time in a bold and vibrant red hue. A White BOOST midsole and red EVA inserts finish off the look on this upcoming colorway of the NMD Chukka.

Look for the adidas NMD Chukka Red Suede at select adidas Originals retailers as well as adidas.com on March 17th.

Author?s Take

Because of the chukka look and suede upper this sort of looks like a whole new silhouette. It?ll still be comfortable thanks to the BOOST midsole but I?m not sure it?ll sell out because it?s a bit harder to wear than the low-top pairs.

If you’re anywhere in the Los Angeles area – preferably close to Fairfax and Beverly – you’ll want to check out the adidas Future Capsule, an art installation featuring a vision of the future through the eyes of 10 artists. Open now until March 13th at the Seventh Letter, it’s an engrossing look that speaks not only to the creativity of the artists, but to adidas as well.

For a brand that automatically screams “retro” the moment you hear it, adidas Originals sure has been forward thinking for the past few years. Whether you want to talk about Kanye West or Pharrell or the myriad of silhouettes like the ZX Flux or the NMD or the Tubular – which was the focus of this exhibit – that are constantly on the tip of sneakerheads’ tongues these days, the three stripes future is pretty bright. And quite honestly, it’s a very welcome future as somebody who has been writing about sneakers for the past several years and will often hit the wall talking about the same 13 shoes all the time. Like the variety of Tubular models on display, I’m all about variety.

In a neat touch, you’ll have a chance to be a part of this Future Capsule as well because you can pick up one of those “my future is _____” boards and write where you see yourself 10 to 20 years down the line. These boards will actually be placed in an actual Future Capsule to be closed for future generations to see. What would you say your future will be like?

The adidas Future Capsule will be on display at the Seventh Letter in Los Angeles until Sunday, March 13th.
