"With many inbound announcements spelling the future of the adidas ultra boost 19 sale,
it’s clear that adidas is far from done with the front-running silhouette. While the most transformative iteration sits closely on the horizon of 2019, the German Sportswear brand has been reclaiming relics from its vault, ushering back in many of the most popular 1.0 colorways while filling its release calendars with some of the more daring toolings. Only a few days ago, Uncaged variations popped up on “Coming Soon” pages, though now the more minimal Laceless model has made a surprise arrival. Iconic in its general visage, the profile retains much of the original’s likeness, though the ankle exhibits a more sock-like construction while the midfoot opts for a reinforced elastic ribbing instead of the typical lace unit. Weaved throughout is a classic arrangement of multicolor knitting。
East Asian motifs have long been a part of the adidas reference book, the brand near constantly making use of Japanese characters throughout their modern branding. And in what is effectively a layered display of appropriation, the adidas nmd r1 black is arriving with some ornate Souvenir Jacket inspired designs. Prominent after World War II, the Sukajan — as the Japanese dubbed it — is as much a trend now as it was prior with many industry names crafting their own takes of the garment for some time now. The Three Stripes, who’ve included shoes alongside apparel, is stamping dragon patches along the heel of the aforementioned silhouette. Scales and further details sprawl in red and blue, the former of which seeing use elsewhere as it radially etches atop the ankle. Black Primeknit constructs the rest of the upper while white Boost and matching molds sit as the foundation.
Although the output of the adidas falcon shoes has definitely cooled off in recent months, the lifestyle model has made another appearance in this brand new two-toned colorway by taking on a minimal “tuxedo” look. The 90s-inspired silhouette utilizes a white mesh material for its foundation, and contrasts its laces, lower overlays and chunky midsole with a stark black tone to achieve that suited look. Despite the suggested black-tie moniker, this Falcon is dressed for the outdoors as it features a toothy outsole for trail-route adaptation with tougher nylons and hiking-style laces. Take a closer look at the pair here below.
Whenever the The Brand With Three Stripes introduces a new silhouette to the world, the German-based sportswear imprint tends to always design a traditional “Core Black” colorway. And after debuting in renditions that find themselves on the more vibrant side of the spectrum, the adidas zx 8000 is now adhering to the aforementioned greyscale color color-blocking. Ditching the heat map-inspired gradients, and Summer-ready “Dash Green” uppers, the 4D runner’s latest take blankets its entire upper in a stark black, with the only contrasting hits arriving by way of its flecked shoe strings. Down below, the FUTURECRAFT midsole is done up in its customary minty green hue, which completes a look similar to that of the Star Wars Alphaedge 4D “Death Star” collaboration that dropped last November.
adidas continues to outfit its Originals with Spring-friendly styles. The latest? A Nizza duo in “Sky Tint” and “Pale Nude.” Unlike the pouch-featuring set launched on April 20th, these versions of the adidas nizza slip on and Hi forgo any hairy overlays suggestive of cannabis. Instead, they stay true to their ’80s basketball heritage in full canvas. Reworked rubber toe caps, which were missing on pairs from Donald Glover‘s short-lived partnership, deliver some visual contrast in “Off White;” laces and midsoles – including their profile “NIZZA” branding – follow suit. Underfoot, both options further nod to their on-court origins with either “Clear Brown” (Lo) or “Gum” (Hi) outsoles.
