Of course the Yeezy x adidas collaborations took over headlines in adidas football boots 2017 2015, but adidas also made some noise with their Originals and Boost lines. We were constantly writing/talking about the ZX Flux, Tubular, Tubular X, XENO technology and possibly the sneaker of the year, the Ultra Boost. Let s keep our fingers crossed that in 2016 adidas continues to create more silhouettes/technology that will have us talking about them on a daily basis. Cause who doesn t love a little friendly sneaker competition to make the other step their game up?This year brought us more collaborations than I think we ve ever seen when it comes to sneakers.
What s better than two of the best rappers/entertainers in the music industry making music? I ll tell you what,?two of the best rappers/entertainers making sneakers! Kanye West won the Footwear News Shoe Of The Year award in 2015 thanks to his adidas Yeezy Boosts and it s hard to pick someone more deserving. I m not a fan of Kanye s sneakers at all but I understand the power that he has with his shoes adidas football boots no laces and the attention that they command. Every time a 350 or 750 arrived or was getting ready to arrive at retailers it was all that you read?about no matter what sneaker blog you turned to. LOTS of people wanted a pair and were willing to (and actually did) pay ridiculous prices to get their hands on them.
It s a shoe that adidas football boots sale grew on me once I accepted that fact. The suede upper and gray colorway make it a perfect complement to so many outfits.There has already been a lot of speculation as to what brand won 2015.?Our own Juan Carrillo finds that Jordan Brand is still the reigning champ . Just last week Dan Freebairn of Kick Posters released his research of most liked brands on Instagram and as it turns out, adidas ran away with that title. Personally, from strictly an aesthetic perspective, adidas has won the last 2 years. It just so happens they also won our site s official award for Brand of the Year .
The adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Pirate Black dropped in 2015 to adidas football trainers 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.
But did we have to know about it and was it really necessary to have that aired out on Twitter for the world to read about? Shouldn t this have stayed a conversation between family?I love everything about the Beluga colorway of the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 except for one glaring sore spot: the SPLY-350 wording on the Solar Red stripe. Without the branding, the shoe is almost perfect. With it, it s a pair I want to wear all the time but can t because the damn thing is so annoying. I would love to own a fixed or sample version that didn t have the wording on there, but I also wouldn t want adidas to come at me and say please return your Belugas and we ll send you the new version either.
The shoe happened, we aired our grievances what we like and don t like about it. They fix it, it s fine. If not, we ll live too.As for the adidas freemont man who really made PUMA a household name in the world of basketball, Clyde Frazier is to the brand what Stan Smith is to adidas. The trends may come and go, but the timeless quality of the PUMA Clyde will endure even if Jenner or Rihanna were to move on to other endeavors in the future. To end the year with a Diamond Supply Co. collaboration means that PUMA is interested in blowing up the Clyde in a way that maybe we haven t seen since the man himself was blowing our minds with his forward-trending attire in the 1970s.
