adidas NMD R1 Clear Red

The adidas NMD R1 Clear Red is an eye-catching and environmentally conscientious running sneaker made with at least 20% recycled materials. The Clear Red version of the adidas NMD R1 features an upper of bright red knit textile—a lightweight, breathable, stretchy, and snug fabric. Flat tonal laces thread through tonal molded eye stays, matching the synthetic adidas three stripes on the side panel. Red-on-red adidas trefoil branding hits the tongue tag, and the molded heel counter provides a stable ride. A red webbing pull tab on the heel sports branding and eases on/off for this pair of vibrant kicks. Underfoot, a white foam midsole of thousands of Boost particles delivers a springy return with each step. What we find most delightful about this sneaker are the hits of black that pop with contrast. Black EVA plugs, one with embossed adidas trefoil branding, add stability to the midsole and match the black rubber lattice-work outsole. The adidas NMD R1 Clear Red was released on August 18, 2016, for $120 retail.
