The model adidas neo 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 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) adidas nmd r1 have greatly reduced their All-Star offerings while adidas has mostly been focused on Super Bowl Week thus far. What does that mean for this weekend s edition of Buy.

Pass, Wait? We ve got a smaller slate of big name releases to deal with so we adidas predator talk about other things that are going down like who we ve got for the big game on Sunday.Andres: (WAIT) Can I even wait? Since these will be sold during half time of Sunday s game I know they won t sit. Good job by adidas of continuing to give us Ultra Boosts with colored Boost. Very nice colorway.EIC Juan: (BUY) Well, adidas managed to make the craziest All-Star game shoe so that s got to count for something.

EIC Juan: So the reason I brought this up with adidas dragon 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. 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 .

Todd: Adidas 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 adidas running shoes better look than the Roshe.

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 about Wall s signature history but the reflective hits are too good to pass up.
