Sneaker releases have been a bit underwhelming the first 2.5 months adidas gazelle 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.
ÿþBesides the Christmas rush, February is the other big month in the sneaker calendar year. Between the NBA All-Star Weekend, Valentine s Day, and Refund Check Season, the brands have traditionally stocked up for the incoming wave of cash headed their way. 2017 is a adidas ultra boost little different as Nike (and by extension Jordan Brand) have greatly reduced their All-Star offerings while adidas has mostly been focused on Super Bowl Week thus far. What does that mean for this weekend s edition of Buy.
Pass, Wait? We ve got a smaller slate of big adidas shoes name releases to 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.
Todd: Adidas is now marketing a large adidas zx flux portion of their brand to a lifestyle and performance lifestyle position. I think it s genius as sneakers are no longer for simply athletics and are overtaking shoes for casual, business casual wear by the day. I think the Tubular series, in the performance lifestyle genre, is only getting started. I m excited to see where it advances. ZX Flux was a great silhouette which, in my opinion, is a better look than the Roshe.
News Juan: I did not get any, I did not want any. I got off the NMD hype train quite some time ago, although I do admit that the adidas NMD XR1 does look pretty sweet especially in that Olive Green colorway. Maybe down the line I ll get a pair, but I m not in any kind of rush to do so.This might be one of my favorite editions of Buy, Pass, Wait to come along in a long time. We ve got kicks from Jordan Brand, Nike, adidas, New Balance and PUMA for our five choices.
ÿþSo we ran a poll on Twitter earlier adidas samba this week to see if people were going to Buy, Pass or Wait on the upcoming adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Beluga. However, instead of giving our readers the wait option, we realized nobody was going to ever wait on these and that it s either now or never. So in lieu of wait , we went with resell because come on, let s be honest here, that s what people are going to do. Anybody that gets the opportunity to cop the Yeezys on Saturday will either keep them or resell/trade them away ASAP.
