ÿþIt s either adidas stan smith between Jordan Brand or adidas. Jordan Brand retros started off kind of slow in January but have been coming with some pretty impressive releases since All Star Weekend. The Air Jordan 12  The Master colorway surprisingly sold out so you can expect the same with the upcoming colorways of the Air Jordan 12. As for adidas, they may not have any planned Yeezy releases until Summer, but with all of the NMD colorways they re releasing at the moment they re still keeping people happy.

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 on, Harden!EIC Juan: (PASS) See above. adidas tubular 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 adidas flux 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 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.

EIC Juan: So the reason I brought this up with the staff is because adidas  adidas hamburg mostly Originals  has had a fantastic run with the ZX Flux for two years now and the Tubular is really hitting its stride. But I am a little worried that we might be getting close to a saturation point right now that it would takes something like the KITH collaboration to get people even remotely interested. Notice I don t say that about Boost because if adidas really needs to capitalize on Boost and make it their version of  Air .

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!
