adidas EQT Racing 93 Triple Black
By SoleInsider
Already the sleekest and slimmest model of the adidas EQT retro running line, the EQT Racing ’93 just got its stealthiest look ever in all black. The triple black colorway features just that: black from top to bottom with no other color in between. The vintage racing model turned into a modern day casual option is arriving now at select adidas Originals retailers worldwide.
Essentially defined by its intricately knitted upper which bears a mixture of green and brown shades to create a washed-out camouflage motif, the breathable and component is supplemented with a sock-like collar to ensure a superb fit.
Tonal black accents provided by the EVA inserts on the midsole, laces, eye stays, branding on the heel tab and outsole balances out the palette perfectly, while a clean white midsole solidifies its overall construction.
If you’re located overseas, you can purchase this pair at select adidas retailers tomorrow, April 9th. Stay tuned in to KicksOnFire for a U.S. release date in the very near future.
Buy, Pass, Wait: Air Jordan 4 Premium Black, Air Jordan 17 Copper, Air Jordan 10 Paris, New adidas Ultra Boost
By SoleInsider
Normally, our Buy, Pass, Wait segments typically talk about Air Jordan retros in glowing terms and we’re more normally inclined to buy more often than not. You might not like what you’re about to see in this week’s feature because while there are plenty of retros to talk about, they all have a thing or two about them that maybe doesn’t do a good job of enticing the audience to cop.
Juan Martinez, Editor-In-Chief: (PASS) After having seen and felt them in person, I can’t get behind this pair. The $400 price tag to me is irrelevant if I feel the shoe is worth buying, but it isn’t. Not for $400, not for $300 which I’m sure these kicks will hit in a few weeks time and not even for $190 GR retros are going for now. As somebody mentioned in the comments of the Periscope, the Black Cat 4s would have been a better alternative.
Andres Carrillo, News: (PASS) Even though the Air Jordan 4 is in my top 3 favorite Jordan silhouettes, I’m gonna have to pass on this colorway. $400 for what Jordan Brand is calling a “premium leather”? Nah I’m good. Maybe if this colorway wasn’t so plain I’d consider it.
Renz Ofiaza, News: (WAIT) I do admire the usage of premium materials and the execution looks solid. In terms of its retail price tag, I’ll have to pass on that. I’d consider purchasing designer-branded sneakers for that price range instead.
Juan Carrillo, News: (PASS) It’s not just the price that pushes me away, it’s the actual shoe. It’s just too plain looking. I’d much rather have the Air Jordan 4 Oreo instead of this. Pony hair? Pony hair!? I don’t think of pony hair when I think of Premium ($400) Come on Jordan Brand. Come on.
Highsnobiety x adidas Ultra Boost
EIC Juan: (PASS) I already have a pair of grey-based Ultra Boosts so doubling up would be foolish. However, if I didn’t already have a gray pair, this would be a solid buy for me.
Andres: (PASS) Being that this is a collaboration I expected more. It’s basically a tonal grey colorway of the Ultra Boost. Didn’t a very similar pair already release? Not taking anything away from Highsnobiety but these are just not for me.
Renz: (BUY) I wouldn’t have guessed this was a collab unless I look really close at the co-branded tongue tabs. I’m a fan of the model in general and in this colorway, it’s pretty versatile and stylish.
News Juan: (BUY) Very nice looking Ultra Boost collaboration. Everything from the leather cage system to the versatile tonal look of the shoe is done right. Great pair of Ultra Boosts.
EIC Juan: (WAIT) Without the suitcase and CD-ROM, it’s a crazy proposition to get anybody to buy these at $250, especially since you can still find a wearable pair of the original release if you try hard enough. However, if these drop below $200 – unlikely given these are a cult favorite – I can see myself copping a pair. They’re cool, just not $250 cool at the moment.
Andres: (PASS) The Air Jordan 17 was the very first Air Jordan that I ever bought way back in 2002 in the black and chrome colorway. Love the shoe but not in this colorway and not for this price. Also, where’s the suitcase Jordan Brand???
Renz: (WAIT) I’m not a big fan of the model, but the colorway is pretty appealing and the luxe detailing gives it a great look.
News Juan: (WAIT) It’s not that I don’t like the shoe, I just don’t see the reasoning behind pricing them at $250. The colorway is solid, but it’s not the one I’ve been waiting on. With that being said, I don’t want to pay that much for a pair of 17s. If they manage to get discounted below $200, I’ll consider it. If they don’t, I move on to the next one.
EIC Juan: (PASS) I don’t live in Europe and my feelings towards the Air Jordan 10 Waffle depending on the colorway. This is a good looking pair of the 10s, but considering I don’t know anybody across the pond who I can trust to hook it up, it’s not looking likely I’ll ever see this outside of a glass case in a consignment store in a few weeks.
Andres: (PASS) For starters I’m not a big fan of the Air Jordan 10, so in order for me to want to buy a pair it has to be a colorway that I really love. It’s cool to see cities outside of the U.S. get their own colorway, but this Paris colorway does nothing for me.
Renz: (PASS) I like the understated colorway most, but that textured upper isn’t appealing to my eyes. A nice gesture to Paris though.
News Juan: (PASS) I’m not a fan of the Air Jordan 10 silhouette. Also, purple is not really my thing. It’s also a Europe exclusive. All these things make it easy for me to pass on the shoe.
Nike Kobe 11 EM Aces
Nike
EIC Juan: (PASS) I was led to believe that the Nike Kobe 11 would only ever come out in Flyknit and in a low-cut configuration. Well, one out of two promises ain’t so bad, but I also wouldn’t be surprised to see a high-cut Kobe 11 in the near future either.
Andres: (WAIT) If only Nike would have made these Flyknit they would have looked 10 times better. The combination of grey and burgundy is clean but this shoe could have been so much better. Nike dropped the ball on this one.
Renz: (BUY) I like the silhouette in general and I’m biased towards the colorway. I like where the contrasting hits of red were placed. Also, that reflective overlays is a nice element.
News Juan: (PASS) If I’m going to pick up a Kobe 11, it’s going to be one with a Flyknit upper. I really don’t see why Nike even bothered to release pairs made out of engineered mesh.
What Air Jordan After The 14 Would You Like To See Return?
EIC Juan: Air Jordan 16 White/Midnight Navy
@zsneakerheadz
These are all but confirmed to return in 2016 so I’m already happy. I remember being blown away by the shroud that covered the upper of the shoe and loving the blue toe. Considering there is now a whole generation of kids out there who grew up possibly having real fond memories of these that are now adults with spending power, this might be a sleeper hit for Jordan Brand. I just hope there’s a size 11 in my future and I won’t have to work hard for it.
Andres: Air Jordan 2011
This is a tough one but I would probably have to say the Air Jordan 2011. I own the white and red pair and wouldn’t mind picking up a couple more colorways that go for some ridiculous prices on the resell market right now. It’s such an underrated shoe.
Renz: Air Jordan 14 Cinder
I cheated, sorry. I just like the simplicity of the colorway. It was last offered in 2005, so it really should receive a retro release soon.
News Juan: Air Jordan 23
airbutchie
Aside from the 17s, which are already releasing, there’s not much I’d like to see come back. If I had to choose a pair, I’d probably go with the Air Jordan 23. I know the released an all-red suede colorway last year (only in Chicago), but I’d like to see an OG colorway make a return. I’d be willing to pick up a pair.
Busenitz and Boost Pair Up Again For Latest adidas Skateboarding Release
By SoleInsider
Boost technology has made its way to the adidas Skateboarding imprint with the introduction of the adidas Busenitz Pro Pure Boost. With how Boost’s responsive cushioning system returns energy to one’s foot, the move to implement the tech into the skating industry is a smart move and the Busenitz Pro Pure Boost does so in style.

The adidas Tubular Doom Tonal Pack Has A Release Date
By SoleInsider
At last! We now have an official release date for these two tonal colorways of the adidas Tubular Doom that we’ve gotten a couple of different looks at already.
Known as the adidas Tubular Doom Tonal Pack, this duo of Tubulars will come in two different color options that are pretty much opposites. The first pair comes draped in Triple Black that aims to resemble the Yeezy Boost 750 that released last year. Then we have something on the other side of the color wheel with a hot pink pair that would be better suited for the ladies, but judging from the Air Jordan 12s that released earlier this year for the men too.
You can look for the adidas Tubular Doom Tonal Pack at select adidas retailers beginning on April 16th for a retail price of $170 each. Take a look at the official images above and let us know which pair you’ll be going after.
Author’s Take
The pink pair is just a little too much for me so if I had to pick one to rock it would have to be the Triple Black. I’m curious to see how people will react to these when they release.

This adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged Has A Red Boost Midsole!
By SoleInsider
We’ve already seen a few different colorways of the adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged that we expect to release this Summer and Spring. We even saw the Solebox collaboration that dropped a couple of weeks ago.
Today we get our first look at an Ultra Boost Uncaged that comes with a colored BOOST midsole. The upper on this modified version of the popular Ultra Boost comes in a red Primeknit with a contrasting black heel counter. The most interesting part however has to be the red BOOST midsole, a first for any adidas sneaker.
There is no official release date yet but with official images releasing they can’t be too far off. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.

It’s about time we see colored BOOST midsoles. Now hopefully adidas does the same with the original Ultra Boost.

A Closer Look At The Highsnobiety x adidas Campus 80s
By SoleInsider
Additional images of the upcoming Highsnobiety x adidas Campus 80s is provided, as the limited edition sneaker is set to debut at more retailers this weekend.
Essentially flaunting a minimalist finish, the silhouette retains its original design, while the leather upper is shaded in tonal grey. Complemented with a matching tongue and laces, the model receives accenting contrasts with butter soft tan leather lining that features custom HS branding and patterning.
Rounded out with a clean white rubber sole unit, additional touches of white are seen on the tongue tabs via co-branding, as well as on the heel tab with the iconic trefoil logo. You can purchase a pair at select adidas stockists on April 9th for $120.
I’m a fan of the silhouette and simplistic execution. I would’ve expected more from the collab, but I can’t complain. The colorway is solid and it’s a versatile offering.

The Highsnobiety x adidas Ultra Boost Is Releasing Soon
By SoleInsider
Following an exclusive HS release this past weekend, the Highsnobiety x adidas Ultra Boost will be debuting at more retailers worldwide starting this Saturday.
Certainly the most popular silhouette from the German sportswear label as of late, this collaborative rendition sports a tonal lavender grey hue across its soft taupe knitted upper. Matching elements such as its distinctive leather cage system, laces, leather insole with custom HS allover patterning and branding, in addition to its branded TPU heel cage component further defines the aesthetic.
All resting atop a clean white midsole and black outsole, additional white accents are seen on the tongue tabs via co-branding. You can purchase this pair at select adidas stockists nationwide on April 9th for a retail price tag of $180.
I’m a big fan of the silhouette in general and in this colorway, it’s exceptionally stylish and versatile. I don’t mind that the collab can only be seen on the interior, aside from the co-branding.

The adidas ZX Flux Racer Asym Gets Outfitted With A New Primeknit Upper
By SoleInsider
Adidas is ready to give their new ZX Flux Racer Asym one of the best upgrades of all-time. This Spring we’ll be seeing the sleek runner from the Three Stripes outfitted with a Primeknit upper.
Aside from the new Primeknit upper, the shoe?s original midsole tooling and welded structural details and the asymmetrical-lacing system remain the same with the exception of faded polka-dot gradient pattern. This colorway features teal all over the Primeknit upp that’s perfect for the Spring. Other details include tonal laces, a translucent heel cage and black accents throughout the shoe.
Look for the adidas ZX Flux Racer Asym Primeknit at select adidas Originals retailers beginning on April 14th.
Author’s Take
This is my first time getting a look at the ZX Flux Racer Asym and there’s no doubt that the Primeknit upper gives it a better look. I’m looking forward to more colorways.

The adidas NMD Chukka Is Set To Come Out In An OG NMD Colorway
By SoleInsider
Right off the bat, the color scheme on the adidas NMD Chukka you see above should look familiar to you. Back in December of last year, adidas introduced the adidas NMD line to the world. The first colorway of the adidas NMD R1 came in a black upper contrasted by the blue and red blocks placed on the white midsole of the shoe. Four months later and we are now seeing the same color scheme placed on the Chukka version of the NMD. The upper comes in a black mesh with hits of black leather, while the Boost midsole comes in white with the blocks coming in blue and red. No word yet on the price of release date of the shoe, but if you’re impatient, you can now pick up a pair at select international retailers for around 139? ($158).
The adidas Tubular X Returns This Spring With This Black/Red Colorway
By SoleInsider
When the adidas Tubular X arrived on the scene last year it was all that people were talking about for a few weeks. But just like most things, the hype died down and people either forgot about them or got bored with the colorways that were releasing.
This Spring adidas is giving the hybrid Tubular another strong push and it starts with some eye-catching colorways like the one you see above. Adding to the white and grey pair that we showed you earlier this week, we now take a look at this new red colorway that also mixes in hits of black and white. Red leather can be seen on the upper along with a black/red woven material on the underlays. The only touch of white comes on the front end of the Tubular midsole.
Available now at select adidas Originals retailers for $120, is this a cop or a drop for you?
It’s hard to ignore any sneaker when it comes in a red and black color scheme. I’ve always been on the fence when it comes to the Tubular X but I’ll admit that this is a nice colorway.

The adidas Skateboarding Busenitz Pure Boost Now Comes In Grey
By SoleInsider
The adidas Skateboarding Busenitz Pure Boost made its debut when it dropped in a black colorway. If you weren’t feeling that look, perhaps this lighter version of the Boost-infused skateboard sneaker is more to your liking. Considered a hybrid sneaker that mashes up Dennis Busenitz?s signature silhouette with the Three Stripe’s Boost cushioning technology, the shoe now comes dressed in a grey and black makeup. Unlike the traditional Busenitz, this pair will not come in suede, instead opting to come in a more breathable and flexible mesh construction which is way more suitable for the Spring/Summer. Are you feeling the new colorway on the shoe? If so, you can now pick up your very own pair at select retailers for $130.
This shoe is dope. The mesh upper and a Boost sole works really well together if comfort is what you’re going for. I’ve always like the Busenitz model, but I always felt it was not comfortable enough. That changes now with this model.

Another Look At The adidas Tubular Doom Triple Black
By SoleInsider
Are you a bigger fan of the Tubular X or the Tubular Doom? Well lucky for you adidas is releasing them both again this Spring in some real clean colorways.
Earlier today we showed you the new red and black colorway of the Tubular X, and now we take a look at some new images of the Triple Black Tubular Doom. Just as the name suggests, this colorway of the Tubular is covered in all-black everything. The upper, inner liner, midsole, outsole and even the laces have been blacked out in what adidas hopes will remind you of the Yeezy Boost 750 Triple Black that released last year.
Are you feeling this new colorway of the Tubular Doom? Let us know your thoughts down below and loo for them to drop stateside in the near future.
I’m not sure if I would ever wear a pair of the Tubular Dooms, but if I would this would be a strong possibility. The all-black look just gives the silhouette a sleek look.
