adidas To Release An NMD Primeknit “Red Apple 2.0” Alongside Two New Colourways

Following last year’s hyper-limited run of the adidas NMD Primeknit “Red Apple”, the Three Stripes has plans for a sequel alongside two other colourways with the same weave.

The “Red Apple 2.0” shares most of the elements of its predecessor with several exceptions, such as black stripes in place of red ones, and red midsole bumpers instead of white.

Expected to drop some time in August, the release will also include a Greyscale and Trace Cargo edition.

All three colourways feature a Primeknit upper with a sock-like collar atop a white BOOST midsole.

PUMA Launches Unique NETFIT Lacing System in Kuala Lumpur

Obsessed with developing new innovations in footwear, PUMA introduced its NETFIT technology last weekend in Kuala Lumpur, a unique customizable lacing system that offers infinite performance and styling options in one shoe.

The NETFIT technology is designed provide users complete control and versatility over how they lace up, regardless of style, shape or needs. 

[caption id="attachment_5812" align="alignnone" width="1000"] Image: Gary Lee / The PLAYBOOK[/caption] [caption id="attachment_5809" align="alignnone" width="1000"] Image: Gary Lee / The PLAYBOOK[/caption] [caption id="attachment_5813" align="alignnone" width="1000"] Image: Gary Lee / The PLAYBOOK[/caption]

Through the use of form-fitting material on its upper with a high-grade engineered net, NETFIT allows its user to express creativity and showcase a plethora of lacing styles.

For starters, the team at PUMA have developed five specific lacing options to fit the needs of its user. This includes a ‘wide foot’ and ‘narrow feet’ lacing systems that cater to a runner’s feet width, a ‘heel support’ lacing option that proves tighter fit around the heel, and ‘stability’ lacing system for medial support and a ‘standard’ lacing option for those who require minimal support.

The TSUGI NETFIT and IGNITE NETFIT is currently retailing at RM499 and RM699, while the LIMITLESS NETFIT is slated to drop in August 2017 for RM599.

Take A Closer Look At The Off-White x Nike Air Max 90

More detailed pictures of the much-anticipated Off-White x Nike Air Max 90 have surfaced online.

With images of the Off-White x Jordan 1s already flooding the web, Instagram user @wts1987 teased us with even more close ups of Virgil Abloh’s very own take on the Air Max 90.

A post shared by WTS1987 (@wts1987) on

These clearer images show the subtle details that most previously missed, namely the sneaker’s old-fashioned foam tongue with off-centered tab branding, screen printed lacing, partitioned heel countering, and a patchwork upper composed of a range of subtle materials.

No release date is set as of yet, but do expect the Off White Air Max 90 to drop later this year together with the other exclusive kicks from the collaboration.

adidas EQT Cushion ADV Drops in November 2017

Good news, EQT fans. adidas has plans to drop the much-anticipated EQT Cushion ADV in November this year.

The all-new silhouette is a modernisation of the EQT Cushion ’91 and will come in two simple colourways – one in triple black and another in white/black .

adidas has been modernising its EQT range from the 90’s in recent months to great success, with the 93/17 proving to be a popular model, particularly with the addition of BOOST midsoles.

While the upcoming EQT Cushion ADV doesn’t come with BOOST, its dynamic shape and foam midsole looks set to be a winner.

Here’s a first look at the upcoming colourways of the new model.
