adidas' Latest NMD R1 Revives a Familiar 2016 Colorway
Is anyone else getting white-and-black “Digi Camo” vibes?
Back in 2016, adidas was releasing limited-edition NMD R1 sneakers like the white-and-black “Digi Camo” version that stirred as much hype as a pair of YEEZY BOOST 350s. Over the course of its five-year run, the NMD line became less popular among sneakerheads as the industry transitioned back to chunky sneakers and, more recently, Dunks from Nike’s SB line — but now, adidas is looking to revive the sneaker back to its former glory with pairs such as this, the NMD R1 “Cloud White/Grey One.”
Served in a cleaner but somewhat similar makeup to the aforementioned “Digi Camo” pair, this NMD R1 features an upper constructed entirely from Primeknit and is served on top of a full-length BOOST sole unit. Stability-supporting EVA instep plugs are strategically placed at the forefoot and heel, with the former sporting “Grey One” adidas branding.
Elsewhere, the pair is fitted with a TPU heel clip that’s embossed with adidas’ signature Trefoil logo, as well as a TPU lace cage system that, this time around, features white rope laces as opposed to the flat laces that frequent the NMD line. A tongue and heel loop also appear, while a stretchy collar and a webbed rubber outsole also finished in white round out the pair’s look.
The adidas NMD R1 “Cloud White/Grey One” is set to release at stockists such as Asphalt Gold on March 26, costing €169 EUR a pair (approx. $200 USD). Take a closer look at the sneaker above.
