The adidas NMD<\/strong> is arguably the hottest franchise on the sneaker market and perhaps the biggest surprise hit in recent years. The retro rooted lifestyle model has shifted shape, color and material since its December 2015 debut, appearing\u00a0consistently on the move throughout all of 2016. As the prowess of the NMD series\u00a0continues to elevate, we take a look at the ever growing NMD family tree.<\/p>\n

adidas NMD_R1<\/h2>\n
\"adidas
adidas NMD_R1 “Triple Black”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Defining Features:<\/strong> Mesh* build, full-length Boost cushioning, midsole plugs, lateral branding**
\nPopular Colorways:<\/strong> BAPE collaboration, “Triple Black”, “Raw Pink”, “Blanch Purple”, “Olive Cargo”, Black\/White, “Triple White”<\/p>\n

Made to move literally and figuratively, the adidas NMD has seen great success in its original form. Defined by a lightweight combination of mesh and Boost, the progressive lifestyle model builds off heritage DNA and today’s tech, offering the comfort of a running shoe with design geared towards everyday wear and street style.<\/p>\n

*Though mostly made in mesh, the NMD_R1 has also been offered in wool fabrication as well as perforated styling with contrast\u00a0underlays<\/p>\n

**Ironically the adidas NMD_R1 “Three Stripes” does not sported striped branding, but rather graphic styling on a micro-rib knit base<\/p>\n

adidas NMD_R1 Trail<\/h2>\n
\"adidas

Defining Features:<\/strong>\u00a0Mesh upper, full-length Boost cushioning,\u00a0midsole plugs, jagged outsole
\nPopular Colorways:<\/strong>\u00a0size? collaboration<\/p>\n

Updated to take on the great outdoors, the adidas NMD_R1 Trail takes all the original aspects of the NMD_R1 while toughening up the exterior. A jagged outsole and the occasional waterproof coating are proof to this nature revamp.<\/p>\n

adidas NMD_R1 PK<\/h2>\n
\"1200
Snkrs Day x adidas NMD_R1 PK<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Defining Features:<\/strong>\u00a0Primeknit build, full-length Boost cushioning,\u00a0midsole plugs, ribbed ankle collar
\nPopular Colorways:<\/strong>\u00a0“Camo” Pack, Snkrs Day\u00a0collaboration,\u00a0OG Pack, “Red Apple”, “Firestarter”, “Japan Boost”, “French Beige”, Packer Shoes collaboration<\/p>\n

Steady in sole but elevated in appearance and by most measures function, the adidas NMD_R1 PK sees Primeknit redress the upper of the traditional NMD Runner. A ribbed ankle collar makes the sock styling even more pronounced, with variations weaving between traditional tape branding and a blanked out aesthetic. The former has taken well to rich revamps on inline classics, while the latter has played to rich graphics and patterns.<\/p>\n

Defining Features:<\/strong> Micro-rib knit build, full-length Boost cushioning, heel midsole plug,\u00a0TPU caging
\nPopular Colorways:<\/strong>\u00a0“Glitch” Pack, mastermind collaboration, “Triple White”, “Pinstripe”<\/p>\n

Edgier than the original, the adidas NMD_XR1 ditches the aesthetic ethos of the easily reconginzable, obviously branded NMD_R1 in favor of caged construction and micro-rib knit composition. Though more complex in parts, the result is a sleeker design accomplished through sharper angles seen on the cage and slimmed TPU piece where the forefoot plug would typically appear.<\/p>\n

Defining Features:<\/strong>\u00a0Curved collar, Primeknit construction, Rope lacing, full-length Boost cushioning, embroidered toe down, caged lacing system
\nPopular Colorways:<\/strong>\u00a0Entire Human Race collection<\/p>\n

Pharrell had a few hits on his hands by way of the Stan Smith and the Superstar, but his adidas NMD Human Race collection is by far his most popular amongst sneakerheads. Elevated in compostion, construction and pricepoint, the series is meant to represent the connection of all human beings.<\/p>\n Pharrell x adidas NMD Hu Collection\n Pharrell x adidas NMD Hu Collection\n Pharrell x adidas NMD Hu Collection\n Pharrell x adidas NMD Hu Collection\n Pharrell x adidas NMD Hu Collection\n

\nPopular Colorways:<\/strong>\u00a0“Winter Wool”, White Mountaineering collaboration, “Whiteout” Pack<\/p>\n

Urban in utility, street in styling, the adidas NMD_CS1 City Sock offers a modern midtop take on the traditional NMD_R1. Full-length Boost cushioning and midsole plugs remain intact, with the extended upper bearing a fit that’s both ribbed and panelled.<\/p>\n

\nPopular Colorways:<\/strong> END collaboration, “OG Black”, “Black Suede”<\/p>\n

More sophisticated in styling but still playful in practice, the adidas NMD_C1 offers a chukka take on the NMD foundation. Full-length Boost equipped with plugs cater to comfort and movement, while a variety of materials and color swatches have graced the one-piece upper.<\/p>\n END x adidas NMD Chukka “Cactus”\n adidas NMD_C1 “OG Black”\n

\nPopular Colorways:<\/strong>\u00a0Grey, Black<\/p>\n

Almost an exact update to the adidas NMD_C1, the NMD_C1 Trail sports the same cushioning system with a jagged exterior and leather heel counter braving the cold and taking on new terrain.<\/p>\n adidas NMD_C1 Trail\n

Defining Features:<\/strong>\u00a0Primeknit upper, full-length Boost cushioning, ribbed ankle collar
\nPopular Colorways:<\/strong>\u00a0Utility Black, Cargo Green<\/p>\n

Sharper in styling and more premium thanks to Primeknit, the adidas NMD_R2 plays with shape and texture for a subtle but striking update to the OG. The midsole plugs are noticeably removed, with embossed nods and debossed branding bringing depth to the street smart sequel.<\/p>\n
