@adidasOriginals NMD S1

I waited for so long to try this one. Is it worth the wait?

@adidas NMD (shortened "nomad" which means to roam/wander around) was first released December 2015. Due to its street-inspired silhoutte, design and comfortability, it was a massive and global hit. Demands were unbelievably high!

The first silhoutte was labelled as R1. Unmistakably recognizable due to the color-blocked EVA midsole plugs. Down the line, many iterations surfaced such as the C1, CS1, XR1, Hu & Hu Trail, R2, CS2, R1 STLT, Racer, TS1, NMD V2 and V3.

The most recent iteration of the NMD line is this futuristic-looking NMD S1.
It has an undeniably striking silhoutte and an absolute head-turner. Uppers are made with stretchy sock-like material that hugs your ankle and feet. Boost midsole is encapsulated which provides better cushioning and energy return than the NMD R1. Midsole plugs are also re-designed to a more appealing look. Outsole are designed and lined with thick Trefoil logos.

This iteration is way more comfortable than the NMD R1 and NMD V3. You can feel more squish and bounce on these. BUT... These good-looking kicks are heavy and a little on the bulky side. They even weigh heavier than the Ultraboost 21s and 22s.

I must say, in terms of comfortability and bounciness, these are superior than the previous NMD iterations but is still inferior to the Ultraboost OG/DNA line.

Sizing runs big. Go half a size down.

SRP is 9,000 Philippine Pesos

Stay tuned for the on-feet comparison of R1 and S1.

Until the next one! See you!
