Parley for the Oceans and adidas continue their longstanding partnership with the latest NMD_R1 colorway in “Core Black/Blue Spirit.” In line with all Parley sneakers, this new model is made of recycled plastics and features a predominantly black Primeknit upper with streaks of “Blue Spirit” and “EQT Green” weaved throughout the ribbed textile. The sock-like upper is rounded out by black laces, heel clips, stabilizers and a black full-length BOOST midsole to keep with the tonal look. –HB
Dressed in a woven core black upper, the silhouette’s signature midfoot shroud features a subtly-placed GORE-TEX tag placed beneath with additional branding accents hitting the medial side, while statement Three Stripes branding can be seen accentuating the tongue and heel tab. Sitting below, a full-length BOOST sole unit, complete with matching-hued EVA inserts help round out the all-new model. –HB
adidas appears ready and willing to push its NMD R1 model back to the same prominence it held much of last year, revealing the statement sneaker in a myriad of color schemes just in the past few months alone. Up next for the runner is this tonal motif, pairing a black-toned upper alongside a gum rubber outsole. Mesh dresses much of the base, with matching-hued EVA plugs, heel counter, pull tab and branded tongue adding artistic accents to its otherwise minimalist aesthetic. Sitting below, the full-length BOOST midsole and popular outsole help ensure user comfort while adding stylistic charm. –HB
Centered around bright “Energy Aqua” and “Trace Orange,” the new looks utilize the popular glitch pattern devoid of the usual Three Stripes branding. Free of branding, the shoes sport a minimalist look with the tonal Primeknit upper accented only by its texture patches and a TPU heel badge. While a full-length BOOST midsole with embedded TPU bumpers and a rugged rubber outsole round up the design of the shoes. Read more…

Available in two monochrome colors, this NMD CS is poised to be a cold-weather go-to. GORE-TEX is well-regarded for its insulating but breathable properties that repel moisture and perfectly complements the ease of slip-on footwear. The sneaker’s textured upper is contrasted with an opposing-colored sole and adidas branding on the heel’s tonal pull tab. A small GORE-TEX tag confirms the shoe’s weather resistance. The GORE-TEX x adidas Originals NMD City Sock is dropping November 17th! –HB
