Kanye West & adidas Drop a Trio of All-Black YEEZYs in This Week's Footwear Drops
Can you pull a trifecta?
As we hit the start of June, the sneaker world is still as busy as ever pushing out various updated models and introducing new innovations.
Over the weekend, British boxer Anthony Joshua and Under Armour unveiled a special pair of boots crafted from UA’s never-before-seen material innovation, dubbed “Project Chameleon.” Unfortunately, it didn’t help in win the bout. In other sports-related footwear news, Jordan Brand released the Air Jordan 4 “Raptors” PE prior to Game 2 of the Finals.
We were also given a few first looks of what will surely be coveted releases, including a Buzz Lightyear-themed Toy Story 4 x adidas UltraBOOST 19, and the YZY BSKTBL “Quantum.” Matthew Williams also teased his upcoming Vibram-equipped Nikes via Instagram, while a new Off-White™ x Nike Waffle Racer coloway surfaced.
Elsewhere, we got up close with Nike’s “BETRUE” Pride Month 2019 Pack, the adidas YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 “Triple Black,” and COMME des GARÇONS‘ Nike Shox TL.
Additionally, with the summer months rolling in, a bevy of sandal options have emerged, including Nike’s fanny pack-equipped Benassi JDIs, and BAPE’s colorful BAPESTA slides. For more higher-end variations, check out these eight luxury sandals to kick off the summer in style.
Finally, adidas announced its Run For The Oceans event set to take place on World Oceans Day, June 8.
