ADIDAS Ultra Boost Customisation with MIADIDAS coming soon It has been a long time coming but it finally seems like ADIDAS will allow us to customise our own pair of Ultra Boost. From the teaser pictures served to us, the amount of customisation available might not be that much. ADIDAS has been able to keep up our interest in the Ultra Boost silhouette by continually introducing tens (even hundreds?) of colorways in the past 1-2 years. From the pictures, you can customise the heel cage based on 3 colors, black, white and navy blue. I am not sure if the...

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations Though ADIDAS was the biggest brand of 2016 and is poised to be the leading brand again in 2017, one might wonder if they are finally running out of ideas for the NMD? The latest NMD R2 Hong Kong Pack, though in a color I truly love (Black and White) is one of the ugliest I  have seen so far. The shape just looks truly off. We see reflective touches on the stripes and laces. One thing to take note of is the diagonal stripes on the back of the midsoles. Good change you feel?...

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations Aligning yourself with a side on any contentious or politically charged topics such as LGBTQ is probably going to be a bad move but ADIDAS definitely does not give a F**K. By releasing a "Pride" colorway, they are definitely sending a message out there that they are in full support of the Pride movement. The "Pride" colorway sees a Black and White Ultra Boost 3.0 silhouette, with the symbolic "Pride" multicolor paint detailing on the white heel cage and finished off with a white Boost midsole. It is not as loud as "Kolor" but a...

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations  ADIDAS just released an all new NMD Triple Black and most of us didn't know about it. Released to almost little or no fan-fare, nonetheless these are fire and already available on the resell market. If you look at patterns on the upper, it almost looks like a velvety corduroy material. These also comes with a colored black Boost, which should attract a number of interested buyers. Black Boost always sells. One interesting thing to note is the laces. Past NMDs have always gone for flat lace but in the picture, it looks like they...

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations While doing some research on this pair to get a background of its design, the comments section rather than the article itself gleaned more information. A majority of the comments seems to think that this is pair of shit. Don't confuse this with the pair of "Japan Boost" that was released in Feb 2016, that pair had the Jap letterings on the front brick and had a blacked out Boost midsole. The shoe laces though, needs a change. Slickieslaces have recently introduced a brand new set of custom laces that will fit this pair of...

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations Sometimes I wish I had small feet so I can fit into women sizes but unfortunately, I am a UK11 and getting pair of kicks is a freaking challenge in many parts of the world. Even in the US or UK, UK11 is still rare size. I remember a trip to Seoul where I spent 3 days looking for sneakers to buy but none of the shops I visited had my size.  Enough whining. The Ultra Boost 3.0 Easy MINT sees a Primeknit upper covered with MINT Green, and accented with black streaks, which is...

Shoe Laces / Lace Swap Recommendations Among the Ultra Boost 3.0 colorways, which one is your favorite? Black, White or Zebra? The new upcoming Olive colorway might just be your new favorite. You combine the ever popular Ultra Boost and an Olive colorway, and you have an instant winning combination. We have seen the Trace Code and Night Cargo colorway, and now the Olive colorway seems to be another military themed color, but not as much as the previous two. We see a combination of tan and white on the Primeknit upper,with an Olive heelcage. The cage, is a transparent...

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations 99% of readers of this blog post right now would have probably missed out on the Ultra Rare ADIDAS Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Zebra. But don't worry, ADIDAS will be releasing the NMD XR1 Zebra in April, maybe to soothe the hearts of the broken. We see the long rectangular stripes, commonly found on the NMD R2, on this iteration of the XR1. The upper is made of Primeknit material, and lined with black stripes to complete the "Zebra" look. On the heel tab, you see hints of red (not sure why?) to finish it off....

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations This set of laceswap garnered quite a bit of attention when I posted it on Reddit. Some preferred me to use a pair of white 3M flat laces instead of rope, while there was another group who preferred the other. But personally, my opinion matters the most since I am wearing it, I prefer wearing the white 3M rope laces. The white 3M flat laces seems to make it look clunky and big, while the white 3M rope laces turns it into a sleek looking pair of performance shoes. I know that it is a...

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations One of my most treasured pair of NMDs, the NMD R1 Circa Knit Clear Blue is a beauty. The Circa Knit pattern on the upper is extremely breath-taking and should be applied to every NMDs. Primeknit, though comfortable nice, is way over-rated. Aesthetically, I think Circa Knit trumps over Primeknit. There are very few Circa Knit NMDs available in the market. If I remember correctly, there are only 3, the Clear Blue, Lush Red and the Footlocker Exclusive. They should really make more of these. Excellent breathability. You guys should probably take note that the...

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations The Ultra Boost 1.0 will always be my favorite Ultra Boost version. The Upper Primeknit pattern is perfect, compared to the 2.0 and 3.0. It was eye-catching without overly trying, subtle yet powerful. The Ultra Boost 1.0 Silver LTD is one of the treasured pieces in my collection. I have never had any trouble matching my outfits with these pair of kicks. Neutral colored shoes are the best. The original colored shoe laces are fine as it is. They did a good job by not experimenting too much on the laces, unlike the 3.0, and...

Shoe Laces  / Laceswap Recommendations Yet another Triple Black colorway to hit our wallets. Scheduled to be released on the 1st March 2017, which is today, this Limited (LTD) release is sure to sell out within minutes of opening. In Singapore, stocks are available at only two locations and right now while I am at home sipping my coffee, I am 100% confident that there is a bunch, or many bunches, of 18 year old kids queuing for them. No disrespect to those who is going to cop them, but for those who plan to earn a quick buck through...
