Everything that makes up the NMD design, by adidas, has a function. The BOOST foam outsole naturally brings comfort and takes care of the energy return. The success of the shoe played a significant role in the widespread recognition and adoption of adidas' Boost technology. It helped solidify Boost as a groundbreaking cushioning system and set a new standard for comfort in the sneaker industry. Moving forward, the upper of this range is Primeknit. adidas NMD shoes are lightweight and crafted with elegant details. The colour blocks on the sides bring back memories of the 80s while adding stability when walking or running. The NMD City Pack is a series of releases that pays homage to various cities around the world. Each city-inspired NMD release features unique colorways and details that represent the culture and identity of the respective city. Nowadays you can choose from different variations of the initial silhouette - the NMD R1, NMD R2, or NMD XR1.

The history of adidas dates back to 1920 when its founder, Adolf Dassler, began crafting athletic shoes in his mother's laundry room in Herzogenaurach, Germany. Initially known as the "Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory," Adolf and his brother Rudolf worked together to create innovative footwear for athletes. Their shoes gained recognition for their quality and performance, leading to their first major breakthrough during the 1936 Olympics when American sprinter Jesse Owens won four gold medals while wearing their spikes. The 1970s marked another milestone for adidas with the release of the iconic Superstar sneaker, distinguished by its distinctive shell toe and leather upper. Throughout the years, the brand continued to innovate and collaborate with athletes, designers, and celebrities. In recent years, adidas has expanded its reach beyond sportswear, delving into lifestyle and fashion realms. The brand's commitment to sustainability has also been a key focus, with initiatives such as the "Adidas Better Place Program" aiming to reduce environmental impact through responsible manufacturing practices and recycled materials. Today, adidas stands as one of the world's leading sportswear brands, known for its innovation, style, and unwavering dedication to supporting athletes' performance. Models like Stan Smith or Superstar are some of the best-selling silhouettes ever. Currently, the adidas Samba or Campus are the most sought-after models. The brand also includes a sports branch called adidas Performance. The latter differs in both focus and logo.
