Raf Simons Next adidas Stan Smith Goes Metallic
By SoleInsider
Liquid Metal donning sneakers had a moment in the sneaker industry two summers ago when Nike Sportswear was dressing seemingly everything in their archives with precious metal uppers for a premium aesthetic. Now it looks like adidas Originals is getting in on the action with the latest edition of their ongoing Raf Simons x adidas Stan Smith collaborations. This Metallic Silver upper is accented by the unique ‘R’ side panel perforations while Raf’s imprint can be seen subtly scribed on the heel. The luxurious pair even sports a matching leather lining for good measure. What do you think of the latest adidas Stan Smith release? Check out a brief preview below and know that this pair is available today from select North American shops like
Since its introduction in Fall 2014, the adidas Originals Tubular Runner has been well-received, as more colorways of the silhouette continue to be offered throughout the season.
As part of its Spring 2016 range, the popular silhouette is rendered in a tonal grey finish. Composed of furry suede and textile accents, the sneaker is outfitted with its distinctive sole unit in a pristine white hue to cap off the clean palette as well as solidifying its composition.
Retailing for $110, you can purchase a pair at select adidas accounts nationwide now.
I’ve been a fan of the model since its initial release. I really like the design — it’s sleek and stylish. In this colorway, it’s another versatile offering.

It may just be a strange coincidence (or probably not), but this new Tubular Radial may have taken inspiration from Nike for this release. The entire upper of this low-top Tubular is done in Black neoprene with leather detailing landing on the heel. What really catches your eye though is the hot pink Tubular midsole/outsole. Whether the Tubular Radial is better than the Roshe Run is completely up to you, but at least we have more options now.
Let us know what you think of this black/pink colorway of the adidas Tubular Radial and look for them at select adidas accounts in the near future.
I’ll admit that this is more pink than the “Siren Red” colorway of the Roshe Run, but I definitely see the resemblance. I already own the Roshes so these are a pass for me.

A Detailed Look At The adidas Crazylight Boost 2.5 Low Jeremy Lin PE
By SoleInsider
Jeremy Lin looks like he found a home in Charlotte. Although he and his team is currently down 2-0 versus Miami in the NBA playoffs, the team (and Jeremy) has improved greatly as the NBA season progressed. Could it be possible that we could soon see Linsanity 2.0? I guess only time will tell.
Formerly a part of the Nike family, Lin is now a part of team adidas. With the Three Stripes supporting and backing him up, they have decided to give him his own PE in the form of an adidas Crazylight Boost 2.5 Low. The adidas Crazylight Boost 2.5 Low Jeremy Lin PE comes in a black and silver colorway topped off with an argyle pattern placed on the midfoot region of the shoe. Additional features on the shoe include the webbed netting on the vamp and the carbon fiber on the toe. A silver heel counter with adidas branding breaks up the tonal look of the upper. Jeremy Lin?s ?JL7? logo is placed on the tongue, while more silver is located on the midsole and eyelets. Available internationally, keep it locked to find out if these find their way stateside.

Author’s Take
The adidas Crazylight Boost 2.5 Low is a clean looking model, dressing it in black and silver makes the shoe look even better. Great PE for Jeremy Lin.

Our First Look At The adidas Tubular Nova Primeknit Emerald
By SoleInsider
The Tubular Nova was recently blessed with a Primeknit upper. We’ve only seen a couple of colorways drop on the new model, but we’re sure that many more are on the way. Today we get our first look at the adidas Tubular Nova Primeknit Emerald.
The Nova Primeknit comes with the same silhouette and branding as the OG Nova, the only (major) difference comes in the Primeknit construction, thus making the shoe look and feel better. Suede detailing is found in areas such as the Three Stripes branding, while the Primeknit upper comes in an Emerald Blue and Black colorway. Lastly, a textured outsole fitted with the brand’s traditional EVA cushioning is placed below. Set to drop later on this month for $160, are you looking to pick up this colorway?
Primeknit makes the model look better. This colorway is cool, but I’d rather wait for something a little better than this. Plus, can thie price be like $120? Thanks.

Another Look At The Grey adidas Busenitz Pure Boost
By SoleInsider
The adidas Busenitz has received a major upgrade this year thanks to the addition of a BOOST midsole.
Now known as the adidas Busenitz Pure Boost, this modified version of the classic skating sneakers comes with a grey mesh upper with black detailing on the branding tag on the tongue, the heel counter and the leather heel tab. Where the biggest change comes is with the new BOOST midsole which has been done in white. A black rubber outsole caps things off.
If you’re looking for a dope and comfy sneaker to wear when you’re not riding on the board then you may wanna give the new adidas Busenitz Pure Boost a try. You can find it now at select adidas retailers for $130.
I’m really diggin’ this new look for the Busenitz. A premium mesh upper AND a Boost midsole? It doesn’t get much better than that. This is one of the first adidas Skateboarding sneakers ever that I’m actually considering buying.

Sneaker Satire: adidas Yeezy Boost Golf Shoes Are A Billion Dollar Idea
By SoleInsider
With today’s release and no doubt sellout of the Air Jordan 9 Golf sneakerheads around the world are proving a point to brands everywhere that they don’t want the traditional golf shoe; they want the brands to bring the heat. Jordan Brand has a huge start on this – retros with baseball and football cleats are already the norm – and this trend will only continue to grow. But there is one brand out there that can outhype and outsell Jordan Brand should they ever decide to bring their own fire to the mix.
Yup, Yeezys and golf. It’s perfect, right?
As we have covered in this space before Nike Golf have been doing all that they can to make the game of golf more appealing to a younger audience. Through more contemporary apparel and popular silhouettes that makes sense on the golf course and of course Jordan Brand has pitched in with their retros, Nike Golf has the kids. Adidas Golf really hasn’t done much in the youth space thus far, although they have put Boost on some of their golf shoes and based on reviews they are some of the more comfortable and popular golf shoes at the moment. But the weapon that maybe they don’t even realize they have is adidas Originals and a collaboration between the two could prove to be very fruitful.
For the past few years now, Originals has had the magic touch at the three stripes, bringing back classics like the Stan Smith and introducing new or remixed concepts like the ZX Flux and the Tubular to huge success. Kanye West and his Yeezys have played a huge part in this turnaround, but there are so many more untapped places that they can dive into. Whether people like it or not and whether or not he’s a creative genius or a very well-paid figurehead, the Kanye name travels. And I want to see it in golf just for the hell of it.
via Golf on Tumblr
Kanye West doesn’t really have that much connection to golf other than this old picture and a random article about Rory McIlroy wanting to play a round with him. But imagine if Adidas gave Mr. West the ability to design his own golf collection with the same amount of freedom he was afforded with his Yeezy apparel. It would be outrageous and different and would probably be banned from more than a few private clubs out there, but that’s half the fun. Can you imagine a bunch of kids dressed up like extra from The Book Of Eli walking around Riviera? What if there’s a secret adidas Yeezy Boost 550 Golf shoe in the works that we don’t know about? Kanye would challenge the authority of golf and in the process introduce the sport to a whole new generation. Yeah, the game will still be exclusive and expensive as hell and more than a few analysts say that golf is dead to the so-called millennial generation, but then again those same people said Kanye wasn’t influential. Nobody knows anything and nobody knows until they give it a shot, basically, so why not make Yeezy Golf a thing?
Picture this scenario for the U.S. Open this June at Oakmont, aka site of the greatest performance in golf history according to Johnny Miller because it was by Johnny Miller: For the last group we’ve got Keegan Bradley wearing the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam Golf as a golf shoe and the co-leader is Jason Day wearing the adidas Yeezy Boost 350… Golf. Such a pairing might not do wonders for the ratings, but Golf and Sneaker Twitter would blow up to mythical proportions. We already saw a little bit of it when Bradley wore some unknown Js for The Maters so one can only imagine the hype and buzz an 11 and a Yeezy on a major Sunday would garner. No disrespect to Jordan Spieth, but that would be the greatest golf shoe pairing of all time. It’s such a crazy idea that maybe this shouldn’t be a Sneaker Satire post… nah…

The adidas EQT Running Support 93 London Drops This Weekend
By SoleInsider
As part of an ongoing “Marathon” series, that follows up on the Boston, Berlin, and Dublin iteration, this latest variation of the adidas EQT Running Support 93 draws inspiration from the shades of red prominently seen in London?s streets.
Flaunting the defining hue across the majority of its suede upper, tongue label and inner lining, accents of black converge along toe tongue, laces, side panels, toe box and heel panel to create an aesthetically pleasing contrast.
The label’s signature three-stripe motif is rendered in white to pronounce the design even further, while the pristine tone is continued on the midsole. Finished off with a classic gum bottom and the UK Union Jack seen on the heel tabs, you can purchase a pair at select adidas accounts this, Saturday, April 23rd.
LV Vibes All-Over This Custom adidas Yeezy 350 Boost
By SoleInsider
The adidas Yeezy 350 Boost is certainly a coveted sneaker, as it was crowned the 2015 Shoe of The Year.
The popularity of the silhouette has given customizers chances to create a unique iteration of the model, which are either adored or despised. Case in point, this latest design via SoleShotta, who does custom work, although not particularly this shoe.
Flaunting the iconic LV monogram across its entire upper, the shoe’s construction essentially mimics the historic French label’s hand bags with leather trimming along the collar and its distinctive heel tab.
Finished off with gold laces and a tan colored sole unit to perfectly coordinate with the theme, would you consider purchasing this pair?
Following a series of tonal iterations, the adidas Climacool 1 is introduced in another new colorway of Ice Blue this season.
Constructed of its signature breathable mesh base that ensures sufficient ventilation throughout, matching TPU overlays are applied on the side panels, heel and toe cap for additional reinforcement.
Offset by accents of white on the heel tab, three-stripe motif and sole unit, the model is finished off with matching laces and a perforated sockliner.
You can purchase this latest variation at select adidas accounts overseas first.
The Eye-Catching adidas Originals Court Vantage Adicolor
By SoleInsider
The classic adidas Originals Court Vantage is the latest silhouette to be featured in the label’s “adicolor” series this season.
Essentially covered in a tonal hue, the models are rendered in bright shades of yellow and red to perfectly suit spring/summer. Composed of smooth leather with miniature perforations throughout to ensure sufficient breathability, the low-top sneakers are detailed with branding embossed on the tongue and heel counter, while resting atop a matching rubber sole unit.
Finished off with tonal laces, both pairs are now available at select adidas accounts nationwide for $80.
I’ve never been aware of this silhouette. It does resemble the classic Superstar, but it looks great in tonal iterations. Plus, the simplicity is solid.

adidas Cannot Stop Puma From Releasing The NRGY Line Of Sneakers
By SoleInsider
adidas isn’t really feeling what Puma is doing with their NRGY line of sneakers. In their opinion, they feel like Puma’s NRGY line is much too similar to their Boost line. So what did they do? They went to court in an attempt to stop them from producing the shoes. After all was said and done, the German courts have denied their request.
Fortuneis reporting that adidas sought an injunction to stop Puma from selling shoes from its NRGY line and they lost their case in Duesseldorf regional court earlier today.
One thing worth mentioning is that Puma was working with BASF, which happens to be the same company that developed the Boost technology for adidas. Puma and BASF were cooking until adidas inked a deal with BASF to work exclusively with them way back in 2011. Puma decided to move on and found a new partner in Huntsman Corp. Together they launched their NRGY line in 2014. Neil Narriman, the head of intellectual property at Puma mentioned that Puma has held back on unveiling and releasing many NRGY designs in light of the litigation. That’s soon about to change as they plan on moving forward with heavilly promoting their NRGY line. Do you think that the Puma NRGY line will have similar success as the adidas Boost line? Let us know in the comments below.
