adidas Originals is loving the Tubular model this fall, as apparent by yet another new take on the lifestyle silhouette. You’ve seen the original, you’ve seen it in Primeknit, and you’ve seen the exaggerated Tubular X, and now there’s a new iteration dubbed the Tubular Strap Weave. As you could probably guess by its name, the shoe features both a woven upper and strap, which comes with a patterned design for the former and suede for the latter in tan, black, and olive hues on the debut models you see here. What makes this new release so interesting is that Harlem-native A$AP Rocky was featured in an ad that takes place in Brooklyn, but it was through the Foot Locker Europe channel of all places. Peep the video and the shoes below and expect these at U.S. retailers soon.

John Wall is, without question, one of the NBA’s premier point guards. His vision, athletic ability, and drive have all given him the opportunity to come to the forefront as one of adidas’ key signature athletes, and with his second model in tow, expectations are higher for the Wizards leader now that he has tasted the competition of the Playoffs and try-outs with the NBA’s best for international play. In an even more crowded tier of signature athletes, Wall is at a point in his career in which he can no longer rely on the touted potential of being a former #1 overall pick, but on leadership, effectiveness, passion, and most of all, a must-win mentality – all of which he displayed last season.

Today, adidas officially unveils the J Wall 2 which effectively cements him as among the elite players in the league. Utilizing bold colors and patterns and implementing the brand’s most performance-ready materials, adidas has created a sig shoe that matches Wall’s eclectic style off the court.

Despite the recent signing of James Harden signaling a shift in adidas Basketball’s signature star priorities, the trefoil is still going strong with new Derrick Rose creations. Could the adidas D Rose 6 Boost be the signature offering that silences all of the doubters this upcoming NBA season? For starters, D.Rose is going to have to stay on the court. An off-season of rest and the cushioning that Boost provides is a good place to start while a dual-strap constructions adds support to the ankle collar and heel. The latest colorway has a very Charlotte Hornets vibe to it too thanks to the use of a vibrant teal and obsidian upper (but given past installments of vibrant blue colorways in the Rose line we’re guessing this is some sort of tie-in to Lake Michigan and his Chicago roots). What are your initial thoughts on the D Rose 6? Check out a better view below and stay tuned for more updates right here on Sneaker News.

It’s hard to believe that the Air Jordan 11 “Silver Anniversary”, a pair that celebrated Jordan Brand’s 25th Anniversary, was already more than half a decade ago. Many lined up to pick up the pristine all white pair despite the fact that it was missing the signature Jumpman stitching. It wasn’t until after the release that 25 lucky customers were given the surprise of this Air Jordan 11 featuring the Jumpman logo and a special commemorative medallion. Today we revisit the release 5 years later as this special edition pair is available right now on eBay. The outsole has obviously aged, and with no sign of that special edition commemorative seal under the right insole, the origins of this pair remains a bit murky. Still, this Air Jordan 11 remains one of the rarest pairs in recent memory and we can only hope that Jordan Brand has something equally as surprising for their 30th Anniversary before year’s end. Continue onward for a better look and know that you can buy this incredibly rare find today on eBay.
