Will any of Kanye adidas adv s adidas kicks make this list in 2016? Does the adidas Yeezy Boost 750 Black or the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Oxford Tan stand a chance? We re still talking about this shoe at the end of 2015. If there s a discussion about resale value, this is one of the first kicks people bring up. If Kanye is the topic, these will get a mention possibly before any of his adidas releases. When a tonal red shoe drops, we call them Red Octobers still. Just for sheer hype alone, these kicks resonates nearly two years later. Hell, some sneakerheads are convinced Nike will restock these just to troll an adidas Kanye release.
But before you go back to the news section and throw up at the multitude of news about the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Oxford Tan , here are picks for the sneakers the blogs (including Kicks On Fire) would not shut up about in 2015.We re always looking for the next Roshe. What that means is the adidas astro turf Nike Sportswear (or adidas Originals and Jordan Brand because it was the ZX Flux and Jordan Future respectively in 2014) silhouette that appeals to the casual and hardcore sneaker audience equally. The Sock Dart was on fire during the summer with a number of quality releases.
Not only did we have the usual brands dishing out collaborations adidas boxing boots left and right like New Balance, Asics, PUMA, Vans, and Saucony, but we also had adidas, Nike and even Jordan Brand joining in on the fun. Some of the most noteworthy collabs that dropped in 2015 include the Just Don x Air Jordan 2 (btw there s another colorway expected to release in January), the Pigalle x Nike LeBron 12 Elite, the Supreme x Air Jordan 5s, and the PSNY x Air Jordan 12. Collaborations are a win for everybody because two different brands/companies are able to work together to get their name out there and most of the time the quality of the release is better than their inline work.
Instead of finally giving adidas eqt adv in to the multitude of times Kanye promised that there would be Yeezys for everybody, instead we got a multitude of Sadderdays as the year went along. From so-called increases in production numbers to raffles protecting customers to apps that determined a person s worthiness to cop a pair by geography, there were plenty of ways to score Yeezys, but often times we came up short. So instead of your typical ranking of the sneakers in the form of a Top 10 list, here s a totally unscientific examination of just how bummed out we were with each drop and subsequent L with adidas Yeezys this year as #KoFBestOf2016 continues.
The adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Pirate Black dropped in 2015 to much praise and made a return earlier this year got plenty of people hyped some even erroneously consider it superior to the iconic Turtle Dove colorway but it left others bummed that it wasn t an altered shoe or a new colorway altogether.Earlier this year, Kanye got involved in some NFL level of pettiness when he expressed his displeasure with Kylie Jenner signing an endorsement deal with PUMA. Unlike the NFL, it comes from a fair place, as Kanye seemed to position Kylie as a prominent part of his Yeezy deal with adidas.
Besides the AF1 Ultra Flyknits, the only pairs of kicks I ve worn more this year are my mismatched Internationalists and a handful of adidas Ultra Boosts. It adidas eqt black s all about being #TeamComfy these days and in a year where I was constantly surprised and not always in a good way one of the biggest for me was that I would actually physically hand over cash to a retailer to buy a pair of Air Force 1s. It s not something I expected to do in 2016.So what happens when you fine-tune Flyknit to retain as much of the original design of the AF1, combine it with leather which you ve never done before and put it together with a feather Ultra sole?
