There have been a handful of significant kicks that adidas all star shoes have launched after the yearly 11s in December, but they don t register on the scale like the 11s as people are burnt out and enjoying the holidays. This year is a little different as there are three more Saturdays to go after this past weekend s Space Jam craziness and Nike and adidas are still dropping heat. Check out what s coming this weekend and what our team thinks about them in this edition of Buy, Pass, Wait.
Andres: (PASS) I ve yet to see the Harden Vol.1 in person, but I think certain colorways look decent. As far as this pair goes, if adidas would have added more Xeno hits on the upper it would have looked much better. It just looks like an all-black colorway.Wait feels like the calm adidas crazylight before the storm. Despite Nike bowing out of this year s All-Star festivities, Jordan Brand will be there next weekend with a bevy of big releases and you can bet adidas Basketball will representing for their superstars as well.
So to get us ready for the adidas duramo slide incoming slate of big February drops, we ve got a new yet familiar look for the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2, the surprisingly pricy Air Jordan 5, Jordan Brand s BHM offerings and much more.Andres Carrillo, News: (PASS) This is probably the worst colorway of the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 yet. An all-black upper with a tiny bit of red, really? The hype over these shoes is so crazy that the need for creativity is probably gone already.
Southern California with the release of the Nike Basketball Summer Pack.Congrats adidas, you finally made adidas eu an all-white Ultra Boost that could on a basketball court. It s super clean and a dirt trap that would make me cry the moment it got even the slightest speck of dirt, but it s real nice to look at.You know the Fall season is almost here when you hear the words waterproof and winter and wool being thrown around, but what s a little surprising is that they re being mentioned in the context of sneakers.
In 2016, the answer to that would have been drop a Yeezy on the same weekend. But thanks to a super limited release of a model that is starting to gain in popularity in the Air Jordan XX3, it looks like some sneakerheads might be distracted on their way to the Flu Game 12s. That s good news for those who only want the Flu Games, but if you live overseas, you might see that your options are a little tougher, as two highly anticipated adidas NMDs are dropping (or have dropped depending adidas flip flops mens on when you read this) as well.
Andres: (PASS) I like how adidas continues to think outside the box with the Ultra Boost. The women s pair is the more interesting of the two thanks to the removal of the cage and addition of a midfoot strap. Unfortunately neither pair really grasps my attention.In this week s edition of Buy, Pass, Wait , there is very little dissension among the KoF Staff for the weekend s big sneaker releases. What started out as a rather innocuous start to April soon morphed into one of the bigger dates of 2016.
