The adidas NMD XR1 Collegiate Navy is a lifestyle and running sneaker that was released by adidas as part of the NMD series which is focused on performance oriented running shoes. The shoes have a predominantly blue upper made from PrimeKnit material and feature a shadow noise pattern that helps to add some texture to the shoe’s design. The PrimeKnit upper is lightweight and breathable, allowing for proper ventilation and air circulation inside the shoes. The sole unit of these adidas NMD XR1 consists of a white foam midsole with Boost technology and a black outsole with a traction pattern. Other unique features on the shoe include a leather heel patch and midfoot cage, which help to add style to the design. One thing our experts love on the adidas NMD XR1 Collegiate Navy is the EVA plug inserts in the midsole. On top of adding to the overall aesthetic, they also enhance stability and support. The shoes were first released for retail at the price of $160 on April 6, 2017.
