adidas NMD XR1
Thursday, 8.18
$160 MSRP
General Release: YES
Large Sizing: YES
As featured in our previous post, adidas is about to blow the roof off of August, with perhaps the largest release haul in sneaker history (don't quote us on that, but we're probably right; we'll get with Wex on that one).
The iconic NMD Runner sneaker will drop in various color ways for men, women & children, but it's the above version that is about to turn heads. Introducing the NMD XR1.
Taking the same elemental cues from it's predecessor, the XR1 follows the same tradition that the NMD brought to the table. From the Primeknit sock liner upper, with the high pull-tab, to the unique lacing system, down to the patented BOOST cushioning system that you come to expect on just about any Three Stripes release.
The difference however, is the midfoot area, featuring a new TPU caging system that houses the lacing, along with mesh venting on the side, keeping the lightweight & airy feel the NMD has been known for.
All in all, there are a total 19 NMD models dropping this week, from the original to various XR1 editions, for men & women. Of course, we had to look out for the XL-feet folks.
Don't worry, you're good to go. If you haven't got any NMDs yet, you pretty much have no excuse this week. But still, with the way these fly off the shelves...we'll still wish you good luck.
