adidas NMD XR1 Core Black

The adidas NMD XR1 Core Black is an athletic shoe featuring a striped fabric upper in Core Black and White. Having been in the sneaker game since 1924, German sportswear brand adidas knows something about athletic footwear design. While known for its decades-enduring signature styles, adidas has also been at the forefront of sneaker technology, introducing styles like the NMD XR1. This technology was designed to integrate 1980s running style with modern fabrication techniques. This adidas NMD XR1 features an overlaid cage structure in Core Black, which displays the upper through mesh panels and houses the striped laces. The adidas Trefoil branded tongue and a chunky Core Black midsole complete the look. In our opinion, the best feature of the NMD XR1 is its striped laces, which further detail the striped Core Black aesthetic. The adidas NMD XR1 Core Black was released on September 17, 2016, and retailed at $140.
