Interestingly, last year I named adidas rom the Adidas Pure Boost as my favorite new model and the year before that the Energy Boost . So, yeah, I m a Boost junkie  but you should be too, it blows everything else away.The Yeezy Boost 750 is something of an enigma to me. I can t look at it and see a sneaker really. In fact I ve always said that while at Nike, Kanye had sneakers and now with Adidas he has footwear. It s a shoe that 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 adidas tobacco last 2 years. It just so happens they also won our site s official award for Brand of the Year .Indeed we ve seen Nike and Adidas all over the college football and basketball landscape. Our pro leagues are also saturated with those brands, but in 2015, the biggest stars wore Under Armour on the biggest stages. And they won.

So adidas stan smith black 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 adidas adilette 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? Not all  Family Business  needs to be out there& 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 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.

Enjoy our countdown of the Top 10 adidas NMD colorways as part of #KoFBestOf2016 .We saw adidas work adidas originals stan smith with a number of brands this year and Nice Kicks (the store) was one of the first out the gate with a splattered rendition that had sneakerheads itching to cop. The secondary market demand for these is off the charts, proving the old adage that you can never have too many red, black and white sneakers out in the wild. It just works, dammit..See what we mean? Although the hype for this has more to do with there being only 200 pairs total out there, it still represents the tried and true colors that we demand in our kicks.
