ÿþI love everything about the Beluga colorway adidas black white of the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 except for one glaring sore spot: the  SPLY-350 wording on the Solar Red stripe. Without the branding, the shoe is almost perfect. With it, it s a pair I want to wear all the time but can t because the damn thing is so annoying. I would love to own a  fixed or sample version that didn t have the wording on there, but I also wouldn t want adidas to come at me and say  please return your Belugas and we ll send you the new version either.

So what happens when you fine-tune Flyknit to retain as much of the original design of the AF1, combine it with leather which you ve never done before and put it together with a feather Ultra adidas boost 350 sole? You ve got Nike s answer  or what should be the answer  to the adidas NMD to the Ultra Boost in terms of a sneaker that is cool and functional.ÿþThe adidas NMD was everywhere in 2016. You saw it on hypebeasts, you saw adidas boost black it on nomads (get it?), you saw it on your grandmother, you saw it everywhere.

See what we mean? Although the hype for this has more to do with there being only 200 pairs total out there, it still represents the tried and true colors that we demand in our kicks. And just for the record, adidas Originals, a Kicks On Fire x adidas NMD would be also be pretty cool. Hint, hint, hint& I know we all cursed the moon when alleged backdoored pairs started making their way to the Internets, but congrats if you were adidas boost golf shoes able to score a pair to actually wear out at retail.

But as expected, adidas is taking a more sedate approach with collabs like this one with White Mountaineering where the branding might be all over the place but it s still  classy enough to pull off that it s not overwhelming the shoe.Save for Yeezys, this might be the most bootlegged adidas sneaker this year so it only made sense that I pull a picture from adidas Originals Snapchat where this particular colorway of the NMD Human Race was on the feet of on Pharrell Williams.

Reaction for this slate of drops has been mixed, but those who are fans are no doubt repping hard for these, thanks to the bright colors and limitless ways you can lace them up thanks to the cage system that we ve seen since on other NMDs.Spoiler: we keep it simple for the top 2 NMDs. First up is this ultra rare friends and family Pitch Black colorway that features the much-desired black Boost cushioning and a raffle that had everybody on their phones for several hours hoping to adidas boost men be among the lucky ones to score a pair.

Harden calls his signature shoe a masterpiece. Let s hope for the sake of real competition among the brands that the public takes notice and justifies that claim.This is not some marketing ploy to get people who hate him to suddenly love him, this is how Kobe really feels . His announcement to retire was the rare moment of selflessness. If he was still killing it like in 2009, he would have just exited stage left without saying a word but leaving a trail a trail of burned bridges courtesy of his haters.
