News Juan: The shoes look adidas 4d way better than the  first look we saw a while back ago. 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. 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.

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 adidas all star brands have traditionally stocked up for the incoming wave of cash headed their way. 2017 is a 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 adidas alphabounce beyond thus far.

EIC Juan: (BUY) Well adidas managed to make the craziest All-Star game shoe so that s got to count for something. 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 is doing with the line. adidas copa mundial

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  mostly Originals  has had a fantastic run with the ZX Flux for two years now and the Tubular is really hitting its stride.

Andres: (PASS) The adidas Crazylight Boost 2.5 is a basketball sneaker and adidas is trying to make it a lifestyle release with this James Harden PE. Not a good idea. Let s leave the lifestyle look to Kanye and sneakers from the adidas Originals line.Jordan Brand or adidas? 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 adidas yeezy 500 NMDs can overshadow an Air Jordan retro WITH GOLD on it.

settling for the same stuff over and over.Andres: (PASS) Good job by adidas of making the Crazy Explosive into a low-top but an all-white Primeknit/Flyknit sneaker is a no-no for me. Maybe if it were a different colorway I d consider grabbing a pair.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 .
