Following the announcement of a multiyear partnership with adidas, Houston Astros Shortstop, Carlos Correa, recently joined President of adidas Group North America, Mark King, on his podcast “Extraordinary Happens.”

Currently the reigning 2015 Rookie of the Year, the 21-year old phenom discussed growing up with baseball in Puerto Rico and essentially how setting goals, self-confidence and making sacrifices helped him reach his dream.

?Self-confidence is the foundation of all great success. If your confidence is up there all the time ? no matter if you?re doing bad, if you cannot find your barrel to the ball, if your swing doesn?t feel good ? your confidence has to be there anyway. I learned that last year. Sometimes I?ll be tired, something will hurt, but my mentality is what got me through it.?

adidas Consortium’s World Tour is making a stop in London for a brand new collaboration with Footpatrol planned for an April 23rd release. After visiting sneaker meccas like New York, San Francisco, and Berlin, the three stripe’s homage to the love of running arrives in the United Kingdom for a collaboration involving the iconic adidas EQT Cushion 93 and London’s premier sneaker boutique. 23 years after originally landing at shelves in an effort to give runners a stripped down shoe that could last past traditional marathon lengths, the Running Cushion 93 returns with Footpatrol’s unique sensibilities for a one of a kind collaborative effort. Nylon and mesh serve as the base for the pair while a premium pig-skin suede and nubuck contrast in black and grey. Burgundy accents pop throughout the 3-stripe ribbons and tongue while Footpatrol’s gas mask logo can be found on the heel. Footpatrol’s EQT Running Cushion 93 will arrive April 23rd just in time for the London Marathon. Check out a detailed look below.

Thought that the adidas Tubular Doom‘s lifestyle inclination meant only muted tonal shades? Think again. adidas’ latest Tubular silhouette has been an incredibly popular one thanks to its unique ability to reference the Tubular’s 90s past while also blazing forward thanks to design cues like the ankle sock, neoprene strap, and ribbed midsole unit. The latest colorway is known as the “EQT Pink” based on the classic accent shade found on numerous running models in the adidas Equipment lineup. Check out a detailed look below and know that select retailers like Slam Jam are stocking this pair today in limited quantities.

Aside from the standout “Marathon” series, the adidas Originals EQT Running Cushion is introduced in a new finish this season as well.

Sporting a timeless palette of black and white, the other notable detail on this pair consists of the upper construction, as the low-top features snakeskin-like leather overlays along its soft suede base.

Offset with white accents provided by its three stripe motif on the side panels and midsole unit, the sneaker is rounded out with reflective silver accents gracing the heel tab and tongue via branding.

Retailing for $130, find the model at select adidas accounts nationwide now.

I’m a fan of runners in general and this pair is pretty appealing. I like the monochromatic palette and its build. These should garner some attention.

Remember the story that we told you about last week in which Nick Young asked Kobe Bryant if he could sign some of his adidas sneakers and Kobe replied by throwing the shoes away? Well in case you didn’t believe that the story was true, here’s the only confirmation that you need.

During the Lakers exit interviews Swaggy P was asked about what Kobe’s final game meant to him and he said it was an amazing feeling, well aside from him getting his adidas sneakers thrown in the trash of course. Kobe did end up signing some shoe for Nick Young, but they were a pair of Nikes.

Check out the clip above and fast forward to the 3:30 mark to listen to the part about Kobe throwing Young’s adidas in the trash.

One of the brightest and most vibrant colorways of the extremely popular adidas Ultra Boost will be arriving at select Three Stripes retailers real soon.

Covered in a mix of purple and blue throughout the Primeknit upper, this new colorway of the adidas Ultra Boost features additional hits of purple on the inner liner, laces, and side panel cage. The heel counter is done in blue while the BOOST midsole is left in the traditional white and a black rubber outsole finishes things off.

There is no release date for this Mixed Berry colorway of the adidas Ultra Boost but keep it locked to Kicks On Fire for updates.

If you would have told me that a purple colorway of the Ultra Boost would be releasing I wouldn’t even care to look at it. But now that I see this pair with the blue accents it looks surprisingly good.

The adidas Ultra Boost is back in a new “Mixed Berry” colorway which is sure to please those looking to get out of the muted tonal looks that have dominated the sneaker in seasons past. When adidas claimed this silhouette to be the best running model the brand has ever made, many were quick to dub that statement hyperbole – until they tried on a pair. What’s resulted has been not just one of the best running sneakers on the market, but one of the best sneakers period. The style of the Boost x Primeknit offering has translated incredibly well off the athletic field and into the lifestyle market and this combination of magenta and navy offers a head-turning option for the warmer months. Stay tuned for this vibrant Ultra Boost to release later this Spring 2016 season and check out more of the three stripe’s latest via our release dates page.

In addition to the new and improved design, the Three Stripes have introduced new materials to the silhouette most notably the addition of Primeknit on the upper.

I’m not sure if the 2016 version will include a Primeknit upper, but if it doesn’t it will be a downgrade. I look forward to seeing more the official unveiling of the a Crazylight Boost 2016.

While a collaboration with Belgian fashion designer, Kris Van Assche, last summer produced two variations, the famous Scottish pattern made of diamonds is set to be offered on the adidas Ultra Boost once again.

Showcased above consists of sample colorways, with one finished in classic shades of black, white and grey, while the other is rendered in blue, red and grey. The defining theme is essentially prominent on its intricately knitted upper. Additionally, another blue/red/grey variation is presented, although this time sporting a black sole unit.

Other notable details include its signature three-stripe cage system on the side panels that also holds its laces intact, in addition to TPU heel overlays that ensures superb reinforcement. More branding can also be seen on the tongue tab, behind the tongue and across its rear.

A release date for each pair is still undetermined, but check in to KicksOnFire for continuous updates.

I’m a fan of the silhouette, but not the motif. Out of the three, I do like the pair with blacked-out soles. It looks great with the colorway.

Can the momentum from both adidas Originals and the three stripe’s running imprint carry over to adidas Hoops for 2016? The adidas Crazylight Boost 2016 looks like it could very well be the model to push adidas’ basketball category into the future and gain some ground on industry-leading Nike and upstart Under Armour throughout the next year. There doesn’t seem to be a readily apparent plan for the three stripe’s basketball brand, as James Harden is waiting on a signature model after signing a $200 million deal and John Wall has bolted after contract disputes. In fact, the only constant over the past few seasons has been the Crazylight series, and the Boost-wielding silhouette continues to get better with each new iteration. A full-length Boost bottom returns with a new Tubular-esque enclosure for added support and style. The woven upper even sports a lifestyle ready design that could venture off the court. Check out more preview shots below.

It took nearly a decade for adidas to convince Kanye West to return to the fold and finally design that collaborative sneaker under the adidas Originals imprint as initially planned. That’s right. Before any of Kanye’s designs with Nike, Yeezy was supposed to design a tennis shoe with the three stripe’s lifestyle imprint. Ben Pruess, once the global director of adidas Originals, shared a rare glimpse at what Kanye was cooking up with adidas dating back to 2006 on his Instagram. What resulted from the brief collaborative process was a reworked adidas Rod Laver Vintage tennis shoe complete with the early-era College Dropout bear logo on the tongue. Check out a better look at this ultra-rare sample below and let us know if you’re feeling this design, or would prefer today’s adidas Yeezy pairs by taking your thoughts to the comments section.

The adidas Originals Stan Smith is known for being a shoe that is always changing time after time after time. The latest version looks to be ideal for the Spring/Summer season. With perforations utilized all over the upper, let’s take a look at the newest take on the Stan Smith.

The perforated versions of the Stan Smith are constructed out of leather uppers. Coming in either all-white or all-black uppers, both pairs are accompanied by the off-white midsoles. Adding some color to the shoe are the multicolor striped heel detailing. Embossed adidas branding appears on the heel and tongue. Tonal laces tie up the look of the shoe. Available internationally ($112), expect these to arrive in the states sooner rather than later.

It’s definitely a clean look for the Spring and Summer. I’m sure your feet will thank you during the hot days.

Flying under the radar is the adidas ClimaCool Sonic Solar Red. People probably overlook the shoe because it doesn’t come with Boot or Primeknit, but that doesn’t mean the model is a bad shoe. Not at all. Let’s take a closer look.

Designed to help you keep cool during the hot weather, the shoe comes built with a Bounce cushioning system that’s just a level under the Boost technology when it comes to cushioning and energy. The shoe comes constructed out of a breathable mesh upper paired up with the Three Stripes overlays caging system. The slip-on upper also come with a bolstered heel that provides additional comfort and support. The Solar Red hits are found on the heel tab and insoles. Available now, pick up your very own pair for $100.

Don’t knock them till you try them. No Boost or Primeknit doesn’t mean it’s a bad shoe. Price is reasonable too.

A little over a year ago, Kanye West and adidas got together to release the adidas Yeezy Boost 750. Fun fact about this collaboration: This was not the first time that Kanye West and adidas linked up to work on a sneaker. Turns out that they created a shoe way before the 750, back in 2006. Today we get our first look at the first ever Kanye West x adidas sneaker.

As noted above, West designed a shoe for adidas back in 2006. This shoe recently stepped into the spotlight when a former adidas employee who took part in the collaborative project felt it was only right to show the world a shoe that very few people know about. Ben Pruess, former global director of adidas Originals and now a senior VP at Under Armour, shows us the shoe which is an adidas Rod Laver Vintage model recreated by Mr. West. As you can see by the images above, new features on the shoe include the Kanye West bear logo placed on the tongue as well as on the midsole under the heel. A two-toned leather motif creates the look of the upper, while perforation accents appear everywhere on the shoe except the toebox. The shoe also shows a “SAMPLE” text on the inside, giving us further proof as to why these never hit retailers. No word on how rare these sneakers are, but I’m willing to be not many people have these in their collection.
