The 10 Hottest adidas Collaborations Of 2019

It's been an absolutely insane year for the Three Stripes. Recording their biggest year yet due to their continued expansion across Asia, not only have they smashed it on the Ultra Boost front, their Yeezy releases continue to draw crowds like never before, and the hype train doesn't look like it's stopping anytime soon.

With all that said, we've rounded up the ten hottest adidas collaborations of 2019! A task that was a lot harder than we had initially expected, we've hand selected just one shoe from each collaboration. So in order of release date, let's get to it!

BAPE x adidas Ultra Boost 4.0 "Green Camo"

2019 started strong with the BAPE x adidas Ultra Boost 4.0 "Green Camo". Celebrating the Super Bowl on February 2nd, Nigo's imprint injected its signature use of camouflage into the UB, resulting in an ultra exclusive collaboration that singlehandedly revived hype for the running silhouette. Topped off with a black Boost midsole and you've got a winner.

adidas Y-3 Runner 4D II "White Bone"

Next stop, we have the adidas Y-3 Runner 4D II "White" which made its way to our collections on May 1st. Serving as Yohji Yamamoto's second Futurecraft design, it was spotted on the runways of PFW at the end of 2018, and is the first sneaker ever to feature a different coloured 4D midsole, replacing the usual "Ash Green" with "Cream White" that looks as clean as it gets.

Invincible x adidas Yung-1 "Yung Stud"

When the Invincible x adidas Yung-1 "Yung Stud" released on May 4th, we knew straight away that it was a must cop. The problem was that it was exclusive to Asia, so if you wanted a pair you'd need plenty of connections and pretty deep pockets. Made in collaboration with the Taiwanese boutique, it's the first Yung-1 collab to feature an elasticated pull tab around the back.

Packer x adidas Ultra Boost 1.0 "OG"

There really is nothing quite like the Packer x adidas Ultra Boost 1.0 "OG". An amalgamation of the the original three UB colourways, including the "OG", the "Solar Yellow", and the "Solar Red", it launched on May 10th in extremely limited quantities - just 500 pairs in fact. Unlike anything we've seen before, resale is pretty high at the moment, and it doesn't look like it'll be going down anytime soon.

Raf Simons x adidas Ozweego "Black Chrome"

Speaking of sneakers that we've never seen before, the Raf Simons x adidas Ozweego "Black Chrome" completely changed the chunky sneaker game when they dropped on May 23rd. Serving as the Belgian fashion designer's latest and greatest collab with the Three Stripes, it's also one of his best too, dropping in four unique colourways and turning heads like it's nobody's business.

Yeezy Boost 350 V2 "Black"

You can't have a list of the hottest adidas collabs of the year without mentioning the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 "Black". A shoe that took the world completely by storm on June 7th, everyone and their dog wanted a pair, and we really don't blame them. As stealthy as it gets, Kanye's crep will work with any fit you throw at it. To add to this, that mesh stripe really goes along way in flexing your sock game. Just what is there not to love?!

Nice Kicks x adidas Ultra Boost "Woodstock"

The spiritual successor to 2016's NMD collab, the Nice Kicks x adidas Ultra Boost "Woodstock" is one hell of a sneaker. Released on August 17th to celebrate fifty years of the iconic music festival that was held in Bethel, New York, the rainbow-coloured UB completely stole the show. That Boost and gum rubber combo also works wonders as well.

Human Made x adidas NMD Hu "White"

September 25th saw the release of the first ever Human Made x adidas collab in the form of the Human Made x adidas NMD Hu "White". Part of the highly coveted "Love Pack" which also include two other silhouettes, Pharrell and Nigo lent their simple yet striking aesthetic for this drop, placing their signature heart logo smack bang in the middle of the vamp

Prada x adidas Superstar "White"

This is a controversial one. On December 4th, we saw the launch of the hotly anticipated Prada x adidas Superstar "White", and to our shock and horror it was priced at an eye-watering £2,345. Accompanied with a larger version of the Italian fashion house's iconic Bowling Bag, it's one of the first collaborations ever to blend sneakers with high fashion, and we can appreciate this.

Alexander Wang x adidas Puff Trainer "Matte Silver"

And last but not least, we have the Alexander Wang x adidas Puff Trainer "Matte Silver". One of the highlights of the power duo's sixth collection, which also so happens to be their last one ever, this sneaker really marks the end of an era. Inspired by puffer jackets, the sock-like structure and elasticated lacing system result in a shoe that is sure to turn heads for years to come.
