I don't really consider those stabilizing blocks to be 'tabs', especially the back one that goes all the way around the shoe:

I, and most others, thought you were talking about the plastic part that sits on the achilles area and a lot of people complain that it's uncomfortable.

They don't bother me but I can see how if my heel were a little wider they would.

The simplicity of the NMD is such a game changer. I know im being a bit of Ryder (No Homo), But as a architect/designer myself I can appreciate the design and the overall product. Dont see the function of the front lego block, but it does give it a little color pop.

I could live without the blocks on the NMD TBH, but they don't bother me even though I can feel them a little. I guess they are a pretty important design element. The nameplate on the heel is more of an aggravation to me but I like the way it looks. Hopefully Adidas can made some small adjustments to improve comfort while not changing the look of the shoe too much. Those new City Socks aren't for me but they look like they'll be seriously comfortable. Makes me want a Boost slipper.

Yeah it doesn't bother me either, but definitely seems to be a common complaint w/ the NMDs.

How many of the White 'Legos' do you think it would take for a straight trade for the Black OGs? or White Legos in order to resell to have enough for OGs lol

Leaders just tweeted they have the women's beige ..... for $160 plus shipping! And I thought Oneness was bad with their "resale" prices.
But, I hope anyone who wants 'em can get 'em. They do phone orders.

For you lego block haters don't worry, the 2017 NMDs there are no lego blocks. The midsole has the vertical ridges like the blocks do but the blocks have been internalized and don't stick out from the shoe.

The front lego block has the same stabilizing function than the other ones (besides the aesthetics).
You will notice that when you walk and the frontside of your foot exert pressure against the ground, the external part of it is solicited to control the step.
This is the reason why the lego on the front is there to prevent the foot from swinging outside, give some support to the boost and maintain the primeknit structure.
