Hamcus Reworks the adidas NMD S1 With a Militaristic Aesthetic

adidas has allowed a handful of partners to put their own twist on its NMD S1 such as Pharrell and RIMOWA. And this season, the brand is reuniting with military-inspired fashion label Hamcus to release its own interpretation of the lifestyle silhouette.

The Guangzhou-based imprint and the Three Stripes first unveiled their collaborative partnership back in December 2022 when they revealed a collection or technical and overtly militaristic apparel silhouettes that were built for winter. For this footwear team-up, Hamcus’ signature design language is evident in the pair’s look and build. Knitted uppers are done up with a dune-like light brown hue and feature pleated toe boxes and patch-like heel overlays, the latter of which is reminiscent of patches on a soldier’s jacket. The lacing system has been remixed with a black bungee cord and bolts have been added around the lace loops and heel tabs to spruce up the kicks with a more technical aesthetic. Down below, the semi-chunky sole unit is dialed to a similar brown hue to match up with the base.

Look for these to release on May 19 exclusively through Hamcus for ¥1,599 Yuan (approx $230 USD).
