But before you go back adidas nmd to the news section and throw up at the multitude of news about the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Oxford Tan , here are picks for the sneakers the blogs (including Kicks On Fire) would not shut up about in 2015.We re always looking for the next Roshe. What that means is the Nike Sportswear (or adidas Originals and Jordan Brand because it was the ZX Flux and Jordan Future respectively in 2014) silhouette that appeals to the casual and hardcore sneaker audience equally.

So when it comes down the use of the Lincoln name for product, I m certain that the folks at /// and UA have had strict language in their contracts when it comes to how close the name of  Lincoln ,  Railsplitters or their basketball program gets adidas shoes to the Swoosh.Taking a page out of the earlier mentioned Villa x Fabolous deal, would UA create movie jerseys for Beamen and Shuttlesworth? Nope. That s not their thing. Would Adidas? Nope. Not their thing either. The only maker who this would benefit would be adidas ultra boost Nike because of all of the previously outlined reasons, and they are plentiful and make sense.

This year brought us more collaborations than I think we ve ever seen when it comes to sneakers. Not only did we have  the usual brands dishing out collaborations left and right like New Balance, Asics, PUMA, Vans, and Saucony, but we also had adidas, Nike and even Jordan Brand joining in on the fun. Some of the most noteworthy collabs that dropped in 2015 include the Just Don x Air Jordan 2 adidas yeezy (btw there s another colorway expected to release in January), the Pigalle x Nike LeBron 12 Elite, the Supreme x Air Jordan 5s, and the PSNY x Air Jordan 12.

Drake may have only officially released the OVO 10s with Jordan Brand in 2015 (Editor s Note: Anybody notice that one of the complaints often lobbed at Kanye and adidas is that they only sell because they re limited? Well, how many OVO 10s did Drake and Jordan put out?) but if Jordan Brand paid any attention to any blog or social media then they know that they re sitting on a gold mine with Drizzy.

Just like with Kanye, fans are enamored with Drake so even though his Air Jordan 10 release wasn t anything out of the norm, sneakerheads still loved it for the simple fact that Drake was attached to it. Imagine what Jordan Brand could do if they used the 1, 3, 4, 5 or 11 silhouette in a collaboration with Drake? Or maybe even give him his adidas superstar own lifestyle silhouette? Everyone would be all over it.

There has already been a lot of speculation as to what brand  won 2015. Our own Juan Carrillo finds that Jordan Brand is still the reigning champ . Just last week Dan Freebairn of  Kick Posters released his research of  most liked brands on Instagram and as it turns out, adidas ran away with that title. Personally, from strictly an aesthetic perspective, adidas has won the last 2 years. It just so happens they also won our site s official award for Brand of the Year .
