ÿþIt s either between Jordan Brand or adidas. Jordan Brand adidas gazelle retros started off kind of slow in January but have been coming with some pretty impressive releases since All Star Weekend. The Air Jordan 12  The Master colorway surprisingly sold out so you can expect the same with the upcoming colorways of the Air Jordan 12. As for adidas, they may not have any planned Yeezy releases until Summer, but with all of the NMD colorways they re releasing at the moment they re still keeping people happy.

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 adidas ultra boost the line. 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 adidas shoes 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 .

It s a testament to how far adidas adidas zx flux has come in terms of perception in the sneaker community that a bevy of non-signature, general release adidas NMDs can overshadow an Air Jordan retro WITH GOLD on it. But that s our new era now and sneakerheads are making their choice by buying NMDs in droves while only the most hyped Jordans sell out, allowing those might otherwise not have a shot to cop a pair. As recently as two years ago, this Saturday s Air Jordan 5 Olympic would be gone in minutes. Now? It s hard to tell&

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.

ÿþSo we ran a poll on Twitter earlier adidas samba this week to see if people were going to Buy, Pass or Wait on the upcoming adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Beluga. However, instead of giving our readers the  wait option, we realized nobody was going to ever wait on these and that it s either now or never. So in lieu of  wait , we went with  resell because come on, let s be honest here, that s what people are going to do. Anybody that gets the opportunity to cop the Yeezys on Saturday will either keep them or resell/trade them away ASAP.
