A First Look at the adidas Originals Yeezy Boost 350 "White" & What Would a Nike x adidas Collab Look Like?

With the hype over the “Black” adidas Yeezy Boost 350 at an all time high since its release last weekend, it seems only appropriate that a new colorway is already surfacing. With a “gray” and “black” iteration in the books, what’s next but a crisp white? First seen on Kanye West this week, the kicks are speculated as the next release. However, there is no official information yet, but we’ll be sure to let you know when there is.
Additionally, the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson seems to have confirmed its authenticity — by betting his FIFA 15 skills on it.



Canadian graphic artist Dead Dilly has created visual renderings of Nike Air Yeezy II, adidas Yeezy 750 Boost, Flyknit technology, Ultra Boost, Sock Dart, Roshe One, and even Rick Owens for adidas silhouettes, mashed together for completely new interpretations. The illustrations are featured in ILS Magazine. You can explore more of Dead Dilly’s work here.

Whether he’s serious about it or not, MTV seems to think it’s for real. You can view the full acceptance speech below, and see the announcement being made around the 12:25 mark. Would you vote Kanye in office as POTUS?

FRESH KICKS: Eminem x Air Jordan IV Selling for $23,000/ Rita Ora x adidas Originals "Space Shifter" and "Mystic Moon" Packs/ adidas Originals Stan Smith "White/Red/Multi"Nike Air Huarache Utility/ Nike Air Huarache "Varsity Red" & "Midnight Navy"

Back in 2005, Jordan Brand released the Eminem x Air Jordan IV in honor of the release of Encore. The limited edition models were only given out to friends and family. Featuring a bright blue upper, black accents and contrasting red Jumpman tongue patch logo, the sneaker sold for $37,500 USD last year at Flight Club. Prior to that, a pair sold for $14,500 USD in 20 seconds. A pair of these Eminem Jordans in size 8 recently popped up for sale online, in “NDS” (worn) condition. If you’ve got $23,000 to spare you can grab the Eminem Jordans at The Collections Miami.

Rita Ora continues her collaborative relationship with adidas Originals on the release of two new sneaker packs. The Space Shifter and Mystic Moon packs – scheduled for release on September 1 and featuring the ongoing collection’s futuristic sports luxe aesthetic – feature color-shifting panels, textured rubber, and a variety of hi-top, low-top and slip-on styles. Head to the dedicated Originals by Rita Ora webpage for more information.

Continuing with the string of out the box Stan Smith designs, adidas Originals has released a new iteration in White/Red/Multi. Retaining its minimal, well-formed leather upper, the latest Stan Smith offering features a graphical printed upper gazetting a series of multi-directional linear patterns in a variety of contrasting colors. The shoe’s already colorful palette leads through to a bright red Trefoil branded heel tab, with similar detailing extending through to the signature portrait tongue print. The silhouette is completed with perforated 3-stripe detailing, monochromatic tubular laces, and a supportive, tennis-ready sole unit. The adidas Originals Stan Smith White/Red/Multi is now available from END. Clothing for $89 USD.

This holiday season will see Nike Sportswear dropping a rugged update to one of its most popular silhouettes of the moment: the Tinker Hatfield-designed Air Huarache. Dubbed the Air Huarache Utility, the new take on the retro runner retains the low-top look of old, as well as its signature neoprene and mesh construction, but now pairs the look with a modified traction outsole, overlaying reinforcements, Dynamic Flywire support and a D-ring lacing grommet that works in conjunction with the TPU heel support wrap — via a nylon attachment — so as to provide an improved lockdown fit when fully laced. Look for camouflage and monochromatic black and white colorways to hit NSW spots this holiday season while all four pairs can already be pre-ordered via Tokyo’s atmos.

Though they would have been right at home as an Independence Day release, Nike Sportswear has crafted two patriotic, monochromatic editions of the tried-and-true Air Huarache. Marked by the use of premium leather overlays and a matching toe box — as opposed to the usual mesh — the designs come decked out in “Varsity Red” and “Midnight Navy” as the hues hit everything from the neoprene bootie and leather paneling to the air-cushioned midsole and TPU heel support wrap. Though sold out at Tokyo’s atmos, the two Huaraches should be touching down soon at additional NSW stockists across the globe.

RIDES: Kahn Land Rover Defender Flying Huntsman 6x6 / "The Wishbones" by Deus Ex Machina

If the Defender has made a name for itself being unstoppable in all weather and terrain conditions, this conversion by Kahn Design should cement that reputation even further. The biggest change is the extra 31.5 inches in the rear to accommodate a third axle and extra gear, bringing the wheel count up to a formidable six. 15 inches have also been added in the front for the upgraded 430hp, 6.2-liter GM-sourced V8. Matching the vehicle’s imposing performance is the “Volcanic Rock Satin” paint job, contrasted with an interior of custom red leather heated front seats and matching upholstery with Harris Tweed trim. See the detailed specifications of the Flying Huntsman here.

The newest model put forth by Deus Ex Machina is a custom Kawasaki W650 that’s been beautifully reworked as a lighter, all-terrain bike with a street-focused design and raised, adjustable suspension. “The Wishbones” is a great vehicle on or off road, and has been outfitted with Tomaselli motor cross bars for an old school feel, a blacked out motor, Velona digital speedos, a powder-coated wheel-set, Bates-style headlights, a braided brake line, hand-rolled alloy fenders, a straight-through custom cone muffler, custom black Icon rear shock units, and an original factory Kawasaki W800 seat. A high temperature black paint job, chrome accents, and a black powder coat finish off the look for a job well done that reaffirms Deus once more as Australia’s finest custom motorcycle design house. “The Wishbones” is now available for delivery within the Sydney area. Inquiries can be made here.

TRAVEL: Panorama House by Ajay Sonar/ Olafur Eliasson's Cirkelbroen Installation Opens in Copenhagen/ Incredible Aeriel Footage of Surfers in Teahupo'o

Situated in Maharashtra, India, the Panorama House is designed by architect Ajay Sonar and spans a plot of 400 square meters with views of an idyllic pastoral scene, framed by the Sahyadri mountain range in the background. Taking inspiration from seminal mid-century architect Mies van der Rohe, the Panorama House employs his philosophy of blurring the delineation between the interior and exterior, hence the open layout of the structure made possible by the lack of neighbors. Consisting of what is essentially a viewing platform suspended by a smaller volume underneath, the house uses pigmented concrete to better blend in with the landscape, maintaining a stark, minimalist aesthetic throughout.

Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson has officially opened the highly anticipated Cirkelbroen bridge installation in Copenhagen to public use. Crossing the city’s Christianshavn canal, it has since seen over 7,000 visitors as “it provides proximity to the water and encourages users to slow down a little and take a break” explains Eliasson. Inspired by the form of ship masts, the installation is testimony to Copenhagen’s nautical heritage and is constructed from five circular platforms with intricate, red metal grid work surrounding the barriers of each compartment and thick wire cabling extending up from the base towards the peaks of each mast. The installation was a gift from the Nordea Foundation to the city of Copenhagen and is now readily open to connect two sides of the city in a more efficient manner. Head directly to Nordea Foundation’s official website for more information on Olafur Eliasson’s latest project.

All colorways are retailing for $195 USD and can be purchased here.

Lest we forget, adidas’ Stan Smith silhouette is one of the most successful transitions from on-court to off-court style in history. Here adidas Originals celebrates its tennis heritage ahead of America’s biggest court tournament, breaking out the Stan Smith and the modern classic ZX Flux for the “U.S. Open” pack. The shoe that started it all here gets the championship treatment, outfitted with pristine white leather and detailed with orange felt at the heel counter. Elsewhere, the ZX Flux arrives in both grey and red colorways, both of which have been treated with a custom hand-printed dyeing process that makes each pair unique; this technique mirrors the performance pieces adidas Tennis athletes will wear on-court. Arriving in very limited quantities only at select flagships and Originals retailers, pick up the “U.S. Open” pack beginning August 28.
