adidas NMD R2 Black Gum Arriving This October
|
adidas nmd r1 grey pink is one of those rare imprints that has the ability to collaborate with both Nike and adidas. After the outerwear specialists linked up with the Nike Sock Dart to introduce weather resistance and an extended mid-top upper, it looks like they’re switching brand affiliation for an upcoming Stone Island adidas NMD. According to prolific Instagrammer Wopsole, the early preview features a nubuck and leather combination with embossed trefoil branding on the tongue with Stone Island’s signature logo in an all-over print. The outsole arrives in classic gum while the midsole bumper hints at an adidas NMD R2 being the collaborative model of choice. Stay tuned for more updates as preview images continue to come in.
The adidas nmd r2 black is releasing in a new colorway of black/gum that is set to drop this Fall. The shoe features black mesh for its upper with matching tonal branding, while khaki colored pull tabs, EVA inserts on the inner medial section of its white Boost midsole and gum rubber outsole completes the look altogether.
Retailing for a price tag of $300, look for the adidas nmd r2 white Black Gum at select adidas stores and online in October 2017. Be sure to click and bookmark our Air Jordan 13 GS Wolf Grey hub page now for the shoe’s latest release info and up-to-the-minute updates and images. Always keep it locked to KicksOnFire for the latest in sneaker news and release dates.
True Savile Row adidas nmd r1 raw pink fans know that one of the many reasons Henry Poole is still one of the street's tailoring superbrands is that it was responsible for inventing the modern tuxedo. Back in 1865, the house was commissioned to create a tailless evening jacket in "celestial blue" by the future Edward VII, for him to wear informally at the then-Prince of Wales' Sandringham pad, his country estate. The rest, as they say, his history – but Poole has never been one to rest on its laurels. This week, the house is breaking all the rules again by teaming up with Adidas Originals on quite possibly the smartest trainers you could ever hope to buy.
Inspired by the tailor's storied suiting, there will be two limited-edition remixes of the Eighties revivial adidas nmd r2 womens silhouette in the collaboration – both made from custom crafted fabrics. Launching first on 21 July, the NMD XR1 evening shoe takes its cues from the aforementioned dinner suit in midnight blue, black and white with grosgrain silk detailing on the medial cage.
The second style, the adidas nmd r2 mens (a day shoe), will launch on 4 August and pays homage to the house's famous flannel day suits. The upper is cut from chalk-stripe fabric with claret accents, a trademark Cundey Weave red lining (a feature usually found in its ties and suit linings) and the exclusive fabric's selvedge on the heel loop at the back.

A First-Time Trail Runner’s Thoughts On The ASICS
|
The grip was outstanding thanks to asics gel lyte iii uk mono-sock fit system. Not once did I feel my foot slip within the shoe. The padding is ample and the BOA lacing system easily withstood multiple knocks from rocks and debris. Plus, the dial is designed to detach rather than break, so you can just pop it back on if it becomes dislodged. The guarantee for the lifetime of the shoe is also a nice perk. You can feel that this collaboration was not a rushed process.
Aside from that, I imagine this is a asics gel nimbus shoe that would equally satisfy the experienced trail runner and amateur runner/hiker. The BOA system doesn’t add much more weight (no more than wet laces) and the reassuring fit easily outweighs a few grams.
The FujiRado is a five-year collaboration between asics gel cumulus and BOA—the Denver based company known for its dial lacing system. After enjoying success in golf, snowboarding and cycling (among many other categories), this is BOA’s first push into the run space, a process that took half a decade of testing, retesting and then more testing. Additional pairings with ASICS, New Balance and Under Armor are expected in the coming months.
My run with the asics gt 2000 womens was with the BOA folks at Red Rocks, about a half hour from their offices in Denver. We tackled the Matthews/Winters trail, a 6.9 mile loop that that takes you close to 6,800 feet. I did not complete the full 6.9 miles, which leads us to …
That said, the asics gt 2000 mens shoe performed wonderfully. There were tight cuts, rocks to jump and accelerate off of and just enough zig-zag that ankle stability was put to the test. Even if I had trained at altitude for weeks leading up to this run, it’s unlikely I would have done the whole thing at full speed because I was told by seasoned trail runners who joined us that they found the loop surprisingly technical.
