Cork Soles Appear On The adidas Originals Stan Smith

STAN SMITH 1 STAN SMITH 2 STAN SMITH 3

Here’s something you don’t see every day, an adidas Originals Stan Smith with a cork midsole. Yup, adidas just went there. The shoe’s upper is as normal as it comes with it’s all-white leather construction and black suede accents on the heel tab region of the shoe. Perforations on the side panels act as the Three Stripe branding, while the trefoil branding can be seen on the heel of the shoe. A set of white laces and eyelets also appear on the upper. The fun part of the shoe is found on the sole unit as it comes made entirely out of a cork construction. Said to be a women’s release, you can expect this version of the Stan Smith to begin arriving at select retailers in the near future.


Author’s Take

It looks clean. I just wonder if it’s going to be comfortable or cause any kind of squeaking. Aside from that, it’s different, but a good different.

I like the Tech Fleece look on the shoe, not only does it make the shoe look and feel more comfortable, it also keeps your feet warmer than other materials.

I like the deconstructed look, it’s very minimal but it looks great on the Stan Smith. Great work by adidas.

The adidas Springblade running silhouette is back in a couple of new color variations for the Spring/Summer 2016 season.

Solyce and women?s Nanaya models, you’ll be able to pick up either pair for $205 at select retailers in the near future.


Author’s Take

I’ve always wondered how these felt on your feet. I always thought they would break, but I’ve seen plenty of YouTube videos to know that these are pretty sturdy.

The adidas ZX Flux Plus keeps the releases coming and this time around it opts to give its upper a tonal look that has the shoe covered in a predominantly all-olive colored upper. The subtle look of the shoe paired up with the neutral color makes the shoe a versatile offering.

The shoe comes constructed out of a sock-like neoprene Olive colored upper that has a lacing system that’s very similar to the Y-3 Retro Boost. Another feature on the upper is the white heel cage that adds a nice contrast to the shoe and also manages to blend right in with the white sole unit found below. The rear end of the shoe comes with 3 horizontal that surely represent the adidas Three Stripe branding on the shoe. Available now for $110, who’s looking to pick up a pair?

Author’s Take

I’m a sucker for Olive colored sneakers. I may not be a huge fan of the model, but when I see it in this colorway it kind of makes me want to own a pair. Good looking shoe, at least in this colorway.

adidas Used Cork Midsoles On The Stan Smith


Cork-laden sneakers have been a hit or miss affair. LeBron’s signature line has often utilized the material during off-season NSW releases, and the Nike Air Max 95 even featured an awesome cork aesthetic – it just came with some unwanted squeaking when walking. adidas Originals is now using the material, as this clean white premium leather rendition of the classic adidas Stan Smith utilizes cork tooling on the midsole for an interesting twist. This women’s exclusive also manages a premium black suede heel tab for some depth. Are you feeling this colorway? Check out more below.

First Look At The adidas NMD City Sock PK

adidas NMD City Sock PK 1 adidas NMD City Sock PK 2 adidas NMD City Sock PK 3

 

The adidas NMD made its debut only a couple of months ago, but adidas is not wasting any time in creating and unveiling new versions of the shoe. Today we get our first look at what adidas is calling the adidas NMD City Sock PK.

This version of the NMD comes in a mid-top build done out of a Primeknit construction. The major difference between the original NMD release and this pair is the fact that this pair is more of a mid-top opposed to the low-top look in the first pair. The other major difference is that this shoe has more of a stripped down look being that the laces and heel cage are removed from the shoe. An addition to the shoe comes in the form of the serial number branding found on the medial side of the shoe as well as the branding on the heel pull tab. The sole plugs are still present, while the Boost midsole continues to come in white. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.

Author’s Take

It’s really just a sock with a Boost sole under it. I need a little bit more than that if I’m going to pay more than $100 which I am assuming that’s what the retail price is going to be.

The adidas Tubular Radial is finally here in that coveted “Fleece” aesthetic previewed not too long ago. Adding the sweatpant-like material to your feet has been a popular trend in the sneaker world, with Nike Sportswear outfitting some of their most coveted current models in Tech Fleece. adidas is answering back with this cool grey fleece look of their own, as the Tubular Radial harkens back to the OG 1993 installment of the Tubular series quite well. The most noticeable retro feature is the overlay, taken directly from the original model. A bolstered suede heel contrasts the marbled fleece tooling throughout to add some depth. Get with us after the break for a better view of the latest Tubular model and pick up this pair from select shops like Premier for $120.

A Hint Of Berry Lands On This New adidas Ultra Boost

adidas Ultra Boost 1 adidas Ultra Boost 2 adidas Ultra Boost 3

Earlier in the week we gave you a first look at couple of sample/potential upcoming release colorways of the adidas Ultra Boost. The first featured a white/multicolor upper with a red heel counter and the second was highlighted by chocolate accents.

Now we have another treat for fans of the Ultra Boost with this all-white colorway. In addition to the all-white Primeknit upper we see a berry heel counter that sits atop the all-white BOOST midsole. If it wasn’t for the berry hit on the heel this would look like the all-white pair that was made popular by Kanye West.

There’s a possibility that this Berry heel colorway may be hitting adidas retailers in the future so stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for any updates.

Author’s Take

There should have been a lot more “berry” on different areas of the shoe. This just looks like someone took an all-white Ultra Boost and painted the heel counter.

James Harden Wore An adidas Crazylight Boost 2015 That Tracked His Movements

adidas Crazylight Boost 2015 2 adidas Crazylight Boost 2015 1

If you caught the Rockets vs Trailblazers game yesterday then you may have noticed that James Harden was wearing a new colorway of the adidas Crazylight Boost 2015.

It was a new all-white colorway that was hit with hand-drawn black speckling along the entire side of each shoe. It turns out that this was a custom job by the people over at adidas as they were using the pattern that was drawn on Harden’s Crazylight Boost 2015 to map movement that allows them to work on the cushioning, stability, and traction of the shoe. These are all things that will come in handy when adidas creates Harden’s upcoming signature shoe which they appear to already be working on.

Pretty cool technology is you ask me. Are you looking forward to James Harden’s first signature shoe with adidas?

via: Houston Rockets


Author’s Take

This is some really cool technology being used by adidas. There’s nothing like tracking a player’s movements while he’s actually playing in a game because it allows them to see exactly what types of foot movements James does on a daily basis.

Foot Locker Has An Exclusive Pair Of The adidas NMD

adidas NMD 1 adidas NMD 2

The adidas NMD just might be adidas’ most popular sneaker at the moment behind the adidas Yeezy line and the adidas Ultra Boost. Fans of BOOST technology have fallen in love with the new silhouette that draws inspiration from adidas runners of the past.

Every time a new colorway releases it sells out pretty quickly and this pair should be no different. Foot Locker has collaborated with adidas to create this new pair that features an all-black Primeknit upper with black and red detailing on the overlays of the white BOOST midsole. There is no evident Foot Locker branding on this pair of NMDs but it appears that they’re exclusive to only Foot Locker Europe making them extremely difficult to get our hands on them for those of us stateside.

Would you like to see these get a stateside release? Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates in the future on a potential US drop.

Author’s Take

I’m sure that many fans of the NMD are disappointed that they’ll never be able to their hands on this colorway. Oh well I guess, we can’t have it all.
