Adidas NMD_XR1 Primeknit History
The NMD, short for "Nomad," had a design influenced by three archival models namely the Micro Pacer, Boston Super, and Rising Star. These silhouettes, nonetheless, remain unknown to many sneaker enthusiasts.
On its own, the NMD, filled the innovative tech and exuded with modern aesthetics is capable of making a name for itself without the help of its ancestors. This line, since its inception, has released numerous models, the NMD_XR1 included.
This rendition, however, is regarded as the most underrated. Unveiled in April 2016, it featured the Primeknit and Boost technology but with a caged upper. Despite being underappreciated, this shoe continued to receive 5-star ratings from fans who have a taste for the unconventional.
