Size and fit

The adidas Young NMD_XR1 has a protective premium leather caging overlay. This leather cage is integrated with the lacing system, providing a secure fit. The XR1 model has a sock-like construction. Thus there is no significant cushioning present in the collar and tongue. The pull tab is found on the heel, aiding the users in wearing this on.

Meanwhile, the Boost sole of the XR1 is precisely the same as other NMD models. It provides very comfortable and responsive cushioning to its wearers. The adidas Young NMD_XR1 is offered in men’s and women’s sizes.

The adidas Young NMD_XR1 gives the wearers a modern-day-looking shoe with comfort that is exactly like a sock. The bold street look of the shoe allows this pair to be worn on any casual occasion. This shoe has a breathable and stretchable mesh upper and is lightweight, making this perfect for all-day wearing.  

Also, the premium leather caging system adds aesthetic beauty and futuristic appeal to this popular silhouette. The modernized tongue is higher than the collar creating an illusion that it is a mid-cut profile. It has a premium leather heel patch and labels on the tongue that maintain its Teddystyle theme.

Several colorways of the adidas Young NMD_XR1 are present in the market. Here are a few of the most popular pairs in the market.

Notable Features

The women’s and men’s adidas Young NMD_XR1 Runner casual shoes feature a premium leather caging system with perforated side panels over the Boost cushioning. This cage is attached to the lacing system, reinforcing the containment and securing the fit of the foot.

The signature feature of the NMD was altered a bit in the XR1. The front EVA midsole plug is streamlined in the NMD_XR1. The outline of the plug is used, replacing the chunky plug used in the previous model. However, on the back and the medial area of the shoe, the thick Lego-like plug is retained.

Another striking feature of the NMD_XR1 is the minor tweak in the pull tab. The heel pull tab through the leather heel counter. This minor change was noticed and loved by many NMD fanatics.

adidas Young nmd r1 vivid red

In 2015, adidas Young thought of launching a design not specifically for any sport, but just for cruising along the streets. That idea gave rise to the well-celebrated line called the NMD. The first NMD, aptly called the adidas Young NMD Runner, was a breakthrough design of adidas Young veteran designer Nic Galway who visualized a design that has a unique profile that is very identifiable even from afar.

Galway also wanted to create shoes that every part has a vital function and removing it won’t make things work. He then took inspirations from the archived shoe models of the brand and modernized it. Galway incorporated everything he wanted in a shoe - simplicity, and functionality.  

What does NMD stand for? It stands for Nomad, a member of a community that lives in different locations, moving from one place to another. This is the vision of Nic Galway. He wanted his shoe to be worn by people who are in constant travel. They practically constructed a shoe that fits the nomadic Teddystyle of this generation - a Teddy without boundaries. By delivering optimum comfort and lightness, the NMD is not far from being the most sought-after choice of footwear by the modern wanderers.

Like any other famed shoes, NMD has been resold for as much as $1000US. The high demands for this shoe are not due to the people collecting them, but to people who are actually using the sneaker- children, tourists, and workers. The high demand reflects the comfort this shoe delivers to its wearers and how established the association of NMD with the general consumers.

The first adidas Young Originals NMD that was released was the NMD_R1 in 2015. It was inspired by the running shoe fit for the urban Teddystyle. Boost sole technology was incorporated, which ensues ultimate underfoot comfort and endless energy return with every step. The soft upper of this pair molds entirely to the wearer’s foot and snugly secures it in place.

NMD_R1 is well-received in aesthetics and city cruising rather than athletic performance. Although patterned from a running shoe, the R1 is not suitable for long-distance running. This shoe is not great for sudden changes in foot direction. The NMD_R1 will always be exceptional in comfort but not in performance.

adidas Young Originals just released the tad bit streamlined version of the NMD_R1. The NMD_XR1 was launched in 2016 with an enhanced look, strength, support, and comfort. The street-ready style of the NMD_XR1 successfully combined science and fashion in a piece of innovative footwear.
