Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations Not yet recovered from the hype surrounding the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Zebra release, and ADIDAS is already firing at us with brand new pictures of the next Yeezy Boost 350 V2 release. Dubbed the "Triple White" or the "Cream Yeezys",  these will come in both infant and adult sizes just like the BREDs. It comes with the same heel tab design that was first seen on the V2 BREDs. When will the Triple White Yeezy be released? No firm date has been set, but look out for it in April. We already have replacement...

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations Crazy hype is surrounding these pair of V2 Zebras. If the news circulating around are true, there are less than 7000 pairs of these pair of shoes in the world. Last I heard from a friend in Amsterdam, that re-sell prices for these have hit a high of 1000 euros. That is some crazy shit. Of course, like an IPO offering in the stock market, prices always hit a high at the opening date and will then decrease and stabilise in the next few days. For those who wants to buy at re-sell, wait a...

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations So many Yeezys, yet not one have I been able to cop in retail price. I think the same goes for thousands of sneaker lovers out there but don't fret, the Zebra colorway is about to be released this weekend so you will get your chance :) The Yeezy BREDs is a pair that I would really love to get my hands on. While I am not a fan of the other V2s, black and red definitely caught my eye. The upper is nicely clean with an all black primeknit except for the SPLY-350 branding...

Size? recently previewed an upcoming release of the new Stan Smith BOOST that is slated for release in February 2017. They got a detailed first look at the sneakers, which comes in 2 colorways, black and white, which also comes with the iconic green touch at the heel. While I have to say that BOOST is one of the most, if not the most, comfortable midsole cushioning system out there, there are just some pair of sneakers that should not be BOOSTed. And I feel that Stan Smith is one of them. Definitely, the comfort level will increase with the...

Shoelaces / Laceswap Recommendations Triple Black anything is one of the sure-fire ways to get your sneakers to sell out. If somehow, ADIDAS ever finds me for a collaboration (in my dreams), I will probably do an all black colorway with red accents. That shit is going to resell for 10,000 bucks. Since this is a re-release, I will not describe the shoe. You guys should already know that this is mesh, not Primeknit and the midsole is blacked out. Some people would not change the laces as they would like the look to remain as clean. However, I like...

Shoelaces / Laceswap Recommendations KOLOR has been a mainstay collaborator with ADIDAS since the inception of the Ultra Boost sneakers. Their bright,quirky and loud color combinations are a fan favorite and continually sells out  upon released. The latest collaboration between the two sees them releasing an Ultra Boost and an Uncaged version. The Ultra Boost sneaker sees a blacked out midsole with an orange bottom sole. A blue TPU cage is overlayed onto a 3.0 black Primeknit upper with a gold heel cage, reminiscent of the Olympic Gold Ultra Boost. For a shoe that is bombarded with so many different...

Shoelaces / Lace Swap Recommendations ADIDAS Ultra Boost 1.0 are rare finds nowadays, more so the Limited Release 3M Ultra Boost that was released to not that much fan fare. If it was released now, there would probably be a queue for it but I managed to cop it 2 years back without much trouble. When I bought this, I inititally laceswapped it with a black 3M Flat pair of laces, but the colors just did not match well with the Primeknit pattern on the upper. I had to customise my own pair of laces to match well with the...

Join our Group and visit us at Slickieslaces.com for the largest Ultra Boost/NMD Laces collection. What causes the white ADIDAS Ultra Boost / NMD BOOST Midsole to turn yellow? OXIDATION. This is the process of losing an electron, or the gaining of oxygen. Some elements lose or gain electrons more easily than others. That's the only as much science as I will talk about, or you guys are going to get confused. Basically, your BOOST midsole turns yellow because of this chemical reaction. It is a natural process that cannot be stopped.Sooner or later, it will happen no matter what...

Join our Group and visit us at Slickieslaces.com for the largest Ultra Boost/NMD Laces collection. How To Clean/Restore the BOOST midsole of your ADIDAS Ultra Boost / NMD Sneakers Basically, a yellow BOOST is a natural occurrence and no matter how hard you try or clean, it WILL happen sooner or later. You can only delay it but you cannot stop it. Deoxidizing agents are a good way to solve this issue for the first few months, but it will return again, and after that, no matter how many times you apply the oxidizing solution, portions of the BOOST will...

Shoelaces / Lace Swap Recommendations The world was introduced to the Ultra Boost Silver Pack during the Super Bowl half-time show and needless to say, those kicks were quickly snapped up. Sneakerheads weren't even looking forward to Lady Gaga's performance :P In any case, if you have missed that release, and still wish to cop a pair for retail, we have good news. On the February 16th, ADIDAS will be releasing an uncaged version of the Silver Pack but it will only be available at selected spots. I have to say that these are some nice laces, with the yellow...

Shoelaces / Laceswap Recommendations If any of my readers here is an Ultra Boost fanatic, you would probably would have copped pair either through queuing or paying an obscene amount of cash through the re-sell market. Eitherway, this is the first of many collaborations ADIDAS will be having with many brands throughout the world. THE A.S.S Ultra Boost collaboration features a black and white primeknit upper, with a black toe-guard and heel cage. The lage cage is also pure black with no other color accents. Laces come in solid black, so there is room for improvement there. I would probably...

Is it me or is ADIDAS been trying too hard? Preview pictures of the upcoming NMD colorways slated to be released in March 2017 sees a deep red and dark blue colorway. There has been so many red and blue NMDs, why would they try to release colorways in different tones instead? Take a look at Hypebeast, SoleCollector or Sneakernews, in their comment section you will truly understand what I mean. These new kicks do not go well with the masses, with one user commenting that "NMDshit". LOL. You just can't take two breaths, without ADIDAS releasing another colorway.  NMD...
