First released in 1979, the adidas Originals Jeans MKII hasn't seen a new release since 2003. The OG pair was named Jeans because the Three Stripes envisioned training shoes you could wear with denim -- a novel idea at the time. Its silhouette was updated in 1982 with a new tracksole that features the Trefoil profile. Comprised of a luscious suede, the shoe comes in both "Red Collegiate" and "Vista Green" and is available at select adidas Originals retailers such as Oi Polloi.

adidas Uses XENO Negative Material On The ZX Flux
Black Friday brought us the new all-black colorway of the adidas Originals ZX Flux XENO that I’m sure was a hit among ZX Flux and XENO fanatics.
adidas continues the trend today as they have just unveiled their latest addition the the constantly growing XENO collection. Here we take a look at the adidas Originals XENO Negative ZX Flux. This new ZX Flux recycles leftover XENO materials to create a sustainable colorway – a commitment from the brand in furthering meaningful design innovation in sustainability. This XENO ZX Flux features a reversed snakeskin upper and a white midsole. Just like all of the other previous releases when the upper is hit with the flash of a camera it changes colors with this specific pair having the XENO Negative materials showing off its bright color range. The effect is similar to what happens in photography with negatives after film development.
The adidas Originals ZX Flux XENO Negative will be available beginning on December 11th at select adidas retailers and adidas.com for $120.

We finally see a colorful XENO ZX Flux. All of the previous pairs were either black or grey and featured color when hit by the light but this pair is twice as colorful thanks to the new XENO Negative material.

The adidas Yeezy Boost and Ultra Boost Have Joined Forces
If you ask anyone what are the biggest things things that adidas has done/been known for in 2015 they will probably should say Kanye’s Yeezy Boosts and Ultra Boost.
Italian graphic designer Federico Maccapani has taken both of these innovative creations from adidas and mashed them together to create a pretty appealing look. The photoshopped pictures above show the upper of an adidas Ultra Boost with the midsole/outsole tooling of the adidas Yeezy Boost. He even recreated the popular Nike Air Yeezy “Red October” and “Blink” colorways.
We’ll probably never see these designs come to life unless a customizer decides to take a crack at creating these. What are your thoughts on this adidas Yeezy Ultra Boost?

While I’m not a fan of any of the Yeezy Boosts, I am a fan of the Ultra Boost. I actually think that the show looks better with the Yeezy Boost midsole because one of the only things I don’t like about the Ultra Boost is the midsole design. I’m pretty sure I would get my hands on a pair if these ever released.

Ibn Jasper Says Adidas Will Keep Making More Pairs of Kanye's Shoes
adidas Yeezy Boost 750 Black
Release Date: December 5th
Price: $350 (Suggested)
Fresh off the release of the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Moonrock, the adidas Yeezy Boost 750 Black is now set to arrive in a new colorway, just in time for the holidays.
Initially worn by Kanye during Givenchy’s runway presentation in September but with a White sole unit, this forthcoming variation is expected to be offered in an All-Black edition instead. Leaked images so far do show that the Boost capsules will in fact still be white.
Additionally, this colorway will only be the second release from the 750 lineage, with the first offering in grey, selling out instantly both NBA All-Star Weekend and at a wider launch later in the year.

Renz Ofiaza, News: Not really a fan of this model, but I won’t deny how it looks much sleeker and better in Black. I’m still more for 350s, but this will obviously get the same attention. If not, more.
Juan Martinez, Editor-In-Chief: It’s a little more tolerable than the grey one that dropped earlier this year, but I’m still not a fan. I’m on the #Team350 camp for now and probably the foreseeable future.

Clash Of The Kicks: adidas Yeezy Boost 750 Black Vs Air Jordan 6 Maroon
Assuming Ibn Jasper is totally putting on the Instagram equivalent of a smokescreen, the world is expecting the black version of the adidas Yeezy Boost 750 to drop alongside the long-awaited return of the Air Jordan 6 Maroon this Friday. For the first time since the Turtle Dove 350 and the Shattered Backboard 1 squared off back in June, Yeezy and the Jumpman will have a true battle for supremacy on the same weekend. This is like the time Kanye West and 50 Cent had their pseudo-rivalry because their albums were releasing at the same time and people were either for Kanye (seemed to be the favorite going in) or for 50 (was a more established name/brand at the time). In this edition of Clash of the Kicks, we want you vote and let us know which side you’re representing. But first, let’s take a look at the competitors.
adidas Yeezy Boost 750 Black
Price: Probably $350
