Sneaker releases have been a adidas stan smith bit underwhelming the first 2.5 months of the year, but I feel like adidas is on top right now. The NMD releases that dropped yesterday did very well WITHOUT the help of Kanye, that s a great thing to see. Long live the Boost. They ve also come out with other NMD releases that keep selling out instantly. Not to mention the Tubular Doom, Radial and Defiant.EIC Juan: Judging from the size of the event they had this past weekend, James Harden and adidas are determined to make the Vol.

The model has potential to look very different depending on the textures/pattern/colors adidas decides to put on its upper. Not a bad first signature sneaker. With that being said, why d the Lakers have to beat up on Harden and the Rockets to begin the season? Come adidas tubular on, Harden!EIC Juan: (PASS) See above. Also, are they really calling this Solar Red? It s interesting that Nike s idea of Solar Red is closer to pink and adidas s closer to orange.

News Juan: (WAIT) I don t see these sitting on shelves, but this is adidas flux definitely my favorite pairs from the 3 NMDs dropping this weekend. The new look of the upper helps give the shoe a refreshing feel. It s crazy hat a few changes can do to the entire look of a shoe, right?Good work, adidas, you ve got yourself a winner!Andres: (PASS) I ve seen the adidas NMD XR1 in a variety of colorways but it just doesn t grasp my attention, not even with colored Boost. I prefer the original NMD much better.

Pass, Wait? We ve got a smaller slate of big name releases to adidas hamburg deal with so we talk about other things that are going down like who we ve got for the big game on Sunday.Andres: (WAIT) Can I even wait? Since these will be sold during half time of Sunday s game I know they won t sit. Good job by adidas of continuing to give us Ultra Boosts with colored Boost. Very nice colorway.EIC Juan: (BUY) Well, adidas managed to make the craziest All-Star game shoe so that s got to count for something.

It s a testament to how far adidas has come in terms of perception in the sneaker community that a bevy of non-signature, general release adidas NMDs can overshadow an Air Jordan retro WITH GOLD on it. But that s our new era now and sneakerheads are making their choice by buying NMDs in droves while only the most hyped Jordans sell out, allowing those might otherwise not have a shot to cop a pair. As recently as two years ago, this Saturday s Air Jordan 5 Olympic would be gone in minutes. Now? It s hard to tell adidas football boots &

EIC Juan: (Wait) adidas Originals continues their hot streak with this new take on the classic EQT line, but I m going to wait until they drop some more colorways before I make a decision on which one to get. Hope the hype for these won t be AlphaBOUNCE or NMD levels& News Juan: (Buy) The model is a perfect combination of classic and modern. I really like the what adidas is doing when it comes to modernizing and updating their EQT line. I need to get my hands on the pair coming in the OG colorway. Great job, adidas!
