How To Lace Your Sneakers / Swap Your Shoe Laces : ADIDAS NMD R2 2TONE White / Core Red

How To Lace Your Sneakers / Swap Your Shoe Laces : ADIDAS NMD R2 2TONE White / Core Red

Shoelaces / Lace Swap Recommendations This has got to be the best R2 colorway I have seen so far. Not a big fan of the R2 design, but this colorway might just be able to change my mind. A combination of red and white is always a sure win, considering Slickieslaces's logo is a blend of red and white :) The upper consists of a white upper primeknit with white motif stripes throughout. Red accents and red soles are spread throughout the shoe, offering a great contrast. A full BOOST midsole adorns the shoe with that oversized red insert completing...

Reigning Champ X ADIDAS Ultra Boost next edition to be released soon

It has only been 3 months into 2017 and we have already seen a multitude of collaborations between ADIDAS and boutique brands all over the world. 2016's most popular Ultra Boost collaboration is back again with another minimalist design. Clad mainly in white, the colorway reminds me the Ultra Boost Triple White. There is originality or ingenuity at all in this design. But flippers all over the world will probably cop this and re-sell at an obscene price to make some money. One thing to note, the cage is not made of TPU but suede and there is some detailing...

First look at Pharrell's ADIDAS Human Race NMD "Multicolor"

First look at Pharrell's ADIDAS Human Race NMD "Multicolor"

The collaboration between Pharrell and ADIDAS is growing even stronger as we got a preview over the weekend of more colorways of the the  NMD Human Race Multicolor. Erratic, eclectic, crazy, or an explosion of colors is what someone would describe this pair. I always wondered what does behind the head of Pharrell when he designs his kicks. Unlike Kanye who prefers minimalist design, Pharrell is clearly on the opposite design spectrum.  The new Human Race takes its inspiration from the iconic Stan Smith silhouette. The toebox looks like it's made from Mesh while the other portion seems to made...

How To Lace Your Sneakers / Swap Your Shoe Laces : ADIDAS EQT ADV Support Primeknit Zebra 91/16

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations Missed out on the Yeezy Zebras? If like me, luck wasn't with you during the raffles, you could probably ease your heartache with the EQT Adv Support Zebras. This has got to be the best discovery I have made this year so far. While I have bought a few EQTs, none has come close in terms of comfort and fit. No luck yet with the Boost version of the EQT (93/17) but the EQT Adv Support is my favorite pair of kicks so far. A plus would be the eye-catching colorways that have hit the...

What shoe laces length should you get for the ADIDAS EQT?

What shoe laces length should you get for the ADIDAS EQT?

Recommended lace length for EQT ADV Support PK 91/16 So I just got myself a pair of EQT ADV Support 91/16 Zebra and I am surprised at just how comfortable this pair of shoes is. The fitting is tight, equally tight as the Ultra Boost but overall, this feels more comfortable than the Ultra Boost. Definitely going to be copping more of this silhouette. I also noticed that there is a number of searches on Google that leads to my website on what is the recommended lace length on the EQT. So the stock lace length on the EQT is...

You can soon customise your own ADIDAS Ultra Boost with MIADIDAS

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...

How To Lace Your Sneakers / Swap Your Shoe Laces : ADIDAS NMD R2 Hong Kong Pack

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?...

How To Lace Your Sneakers / Swap Your Shoe Laces : ADIDAS Ultra Boost 3.0 LGBTQ Pride

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...

How To Lace Your Sneakers / Swap Your Shoe Laces : ADIDAS NMD R1 Triple Black

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...

How To Lace Your Sneakers / Swap Your Shoe Laces : ADIDAS NMD R1 Japan Boost

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...

How To Lace Your Sneakers / Swap Your Shoe Laces : ADIDAS Ultra Boost 3.0 Womens Easy MINT

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...
