When people look back adidas eqt boost at adidas comeback these past few years, the flashpoint is definitely Kanye, but the kickoff was the adidas ZX Flux. When these first dropped in early 2014, people were actually scrambling to get a pair. Since then, adidas has transitioned from the Prism to Reflective to mi ZX Flux to XENO and countless collabs. You might argue that the saturation point has been reached with these, but then something new comes along that changes our perception and we re back to loving them again.So I expect to see more collaborations than ever in 2016 so everybody can stay winning together.

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 adidas eqt support 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 adidas eqt support adv aesthetic perspective, adidas has won the last 2 years. It just so happens they also won our site s official award for Brand of the Year .

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 adidas eqt trainers his displeasure with Kylie Jenner signing 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.

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. The trends may come and go, but the timeless quality of the PUMA Clyde will endure even if Jenner or Rihanna were to move on to other endeavors in the future. To end the year with a Diamond Supply Co. collaboration means that PUMA is interested in blowing up the Clyde in a way that maybe we haven t seen since the man himself was blowing our minds with his forward-trending attire in the 1970s.

Besides the AF1 Ultra Flyknits, the only pairs of kicks I ve worn more this year are my mismatched Internationalists and a handful of adidas Ultra Boosts. It adidas eqt white  s all about being #TeamComfy these days and in a year where I was constantly surprised  and not always in a good way  one of the biggest for me was that I would actually physically hand over cash to a retailer to buy a pair of Air Force 1s. It s not something I expected to do in 2016.So what happens when you fine-tune Flyknit to retain as much of the original design of the AF1, combine it with leather which you ve never done before and put it together with a feather Ultra sole?
