Rubber sole The adidas NMD_R1 V2 is the next generation of the simplistic, yet highly advanced NMD_R1 model. Similar to the original, the updated version maintains a soft Primeknit fabric upper in black with the perfect amount of comfort and stretch to help your foot breathe. Matching tape overlays give the shoe what the German brand dubs a "cyberpunk vibe." One of the most noticable differences is the coloring on the Boost midsole. Here, the cushioning unit is split between red at the forefoot and blue toward the rear.
