Back in 2016, Adidas was on top of the world and slowly inching towards dethroning Jordan Brand for the second biggest sneaker brand in the world. Much of this success was attributed to two reasons: Kanye West and Boost technology. The Adidas UltraBoost was the brand’s biggest success although the Adidas NMD R1 was right behind it. The sneaker started off with some limited colorways but eventually became a sneaker store staple that boasts an extensive library.

Adidas continues to give this model new colorways and recently, they released an NMD R1 offering that is reminiscent of Souvenir Jackets or Sukajan, which are popular in Japan. As you can see from the official images, the shoe has a black primeknit upper while a dragon patch is placed on the back heel. Overall, it’s a basic colorway but the presence of a graphic certainly helps spruce up the aesthetics.

If you are interested in copping this interesting new model, it is already available in a full size run on adidas.com for $150 USD. Let us know in the comments below what you think of these and whether or not you plan on copping.

Back in 2015, Adidas unveiled the NMD R1 to the world in what is now considered to be an iconic OG colorway. The shoe featured Boost on the midsole while a primeknit upper helped add some comfort. If the UltraBoost was the best running shoe on the market, the NMD R1 was poised to become the best lifestyle sneaker. At first, scarcity helped build hype around the model although eventually, things settled down and the NMD took its rightful place as a GR that still provides dope colorways every now and then.

The latest NMD R1 offering to be revealed is the “Solar Red” model below. This shoe is incredibly vibrant as the upper and midsole are a bright shade of red. From there, the bricks on the midsole are black near the back and white near the front. These colors come together to create a model that will certainly turn some heads while walking down the street, granted you’re not under government enforced lockdown.

If you’re looking to cop these, they will be available as of April 1st for $130 USD. Let us know in the comments below whether or not you plan on copping.

In the eyes of hypebeasts, the Adidas NMD R1’s hype has died down thanks to an abundance of colorways and stock. If you’re a true sneakerhead, you would know that the shoe is still one of the best on the market thanks to its sleek design and comfortable feel. With a primeknit upper and Boost midsole, your feet will be thanking you after putting these on.

With the Spring just under two months away, Adidas is already coming through with some new colorways of the NMD R1, including the space travel-inspired model below. As you can see, this shoe has a white upper with grey stripes on the side. From there, the midsole is gold while the block on the back is blue and the block near the front is red. These are the colors you would expect on an Astronaut’s uniform which makes it a unique offering. If you’re someone who loves outer space, these may very well be the shoes for you.

There were plenty of dope sneakers released in 2019 and once again, many sneaker companies saw their profits rise. From Adidas, to Nike, to Jumpman, there were a plethora of shoes out on the market which led to a wide variety of sales. Thanks to Matt Powell of the NPD Group, we now know which models performed the best this year and quite honestly, some of these results are pretty surprising.

The report features a top 10 which begins with the Air Jordan 11 in tenth spot. From ninth all the way to first we have the Nike Air Max 97, Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star Low, Vans Ward, Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2, Air Jordan 4, Adidas NMD R1, Nike Tanjun, Nike Air Force 1 Low, and Nike Air Max 270.

Interestingly, these results aren’t based on the success of one colorway, but multiple. This means the more colorways released, the better chance a shoe had of ending up on the list. With this in mind, it shouldn’t be so shocking that the Nike Air Force 1 Low was second while the Air Max 270 was first. 

The Adidas NMD R1 performed quite well this past year despite the decaying hype surrounding the sneaker. Not to mention, the Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 is still going strong and thanks to numerous new colorways, it found its way to number 6.

What do you think of these results? Did you cop anything on the list?
