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...

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 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 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 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 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...

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...
