The model has potential to look very adidas stan smith 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 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.

I like the implementation of XENO on basketball kicks like the D Rose 6 and J Wall 2 and this is another winner for me because its reflective patterns closely resemble the XENO ZX Flux.News Juan: (BUY) I don t own any kind of Tubular, but that doesn t mean I don t like what adidas tubular adidas is doing with the line. The sock-like upper is something different I m not used to wearing, but I respect the creativity behind the shoe. The shoe has a very modern/Y-3 feel to them that I can certainly appreciate. I can dig it.

Todd: Adidas adidas flux is now marketing a large 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.

It s a testament to how far adidas has come adidas hamburg 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&

Oh, and we also talk about the Air Jordan 6 Maroon , the weekend s big retro release. I mean, we d talk about the adidas Yeezy Boost 750 Black too but it looks like Kanye and company have bigger plans in store for them .EIC Juan: I m going with the adidas J Wall 2 XENO because this might be the best John Wall signature shoe so far. I know that s not saying much if you really think adidas football boots about Wall s signature history but the reflective hits are too good to pass up.

Andres Carrillo, News: (BUY TO RESELL) I tried getting a pair through the adidas Confirmed app but failed miserably. I literally clicked the reserve button the second it popped up and it told me that all the sizes were already reserved. What?!?? Oh well. The only reason i would have bought these was for trade bait.Of course, I could make the assumption that the Nike and Jordan Brand are clearing the plate so they won  t get smothered by the next adidas Yeezy Boost release.
