Referencing progressive adidas styles like the Micro Pacer, the Rising Star, and the Boston Super, the NMD gives archival elements a modern context, taking the iconography surrounding adidas' most celebrated products and merging them with 2016 engineering.

The modern upper construction, new exaggerated shape, and immediately recognizable archive-inspired detailing makes it the first sneaker to mix lifestyle and technical innovation. The mid-sole construction features built-in full length BOOST and EVA plugs that create an authentic link to adidas DNA – future and past.
