Adidas NMD thread

Re: XR1 shape.

While Im not comparing the quality, it's got kind of a Filling Pieces "peak" to the silhouette.

I'm still glad to have the one I was going for. That said, in comparison I think I do prefer the R1s more. Simply because its less aggressive styling lends itself to being more wearable for me than its successor.
They do seem higher than I thought they would be, more like a mid almost hightop silhouette. My wife thought they would be higher from the pics.

Here is a better pic. It looks like it is multicolored under the mesh (they are called the rainbows), so that's a big difference from the OGs. Back tab is also way brighter blue. Like it or hate it I think this will be very different from the OGs once we get other pics.



With the exception of the OG Chukkas and the 3 stripes Whiteout, I'm not a mesh guy. That said not ready to hate on these just yet.

Footlocker eu also has an army grey and blue in this new see thru style.
Those are terrible, really taking these in the Roshe direction
 
wool is like the grey and purple joints, but darker. I'm not a fan of that wool material on this sneaker. Combining a summer style shoe with winter elements doesn't really work for me
Fall style NMD - Wool/Canvas material to keep your toes warm 
 
so what is the consensus sizing on the NMD's TTS? or .5 size down?
for primeknit, most people say go down .5 size from TTS. but it all depends on what people's "TTS" is. my TTS in nike/jordan is size 9. i wear 350's in size 9 as well. i wear size 9 in GL3's, and GL5's. i wear a 9 in ultraboost. i have size 8.5 primeknit NMD's that are still roomy. can definitely go down 1 whole size but not sure how tight it would be. some people TTS in adidas is different than TTS in nike. so when people say .5 down from TTS, you don't really know whether they're saying .5 down from usual adidas sizing or nike sizing or what. good luck though haha.

EDIT: i measure a 9 on the brannock device.

I went and tried on a pair of Mesh R1's at Foot Locker during my lunch break so I could get an idea of what size to order when the triple blacks release this September, here are my thoughts on sizing:

If you like your shoes fitting snug, meaning almost a millimetre worth of toe room go 0.5 down.

If you like decent toe room, go TTS. If you own a pair of Ultra Boosts, order your Ultra Boost size.  

Keep in mind that I tried them on wearing dress socks, so they were super thin. I usually wear sports socks with sneakers, and I like toe room, so I'd be going TTS.

which foot locker did you try them on at?
 
Regarding the Xr1, I'm with you guys that given the choice between the XR1 and the R1, the XR1 just doesn't compare.  Primeknit R1s are my favorite shoes hands down (and you can keep your Yeezys).  

That said, I like the XR1 more than I thought I would and if it prevents Adidas from over-saturating and killing the Primeknit R1 I am all for it.  
 
 
yea adidas overworking these nmd's by consistently pumping out hot trash. 
I will say that they appear to be making some calculated moves in reserving their adventurous colorways/materials for the NMD mesh.  I honestly haven't really cared for the meshes for the most part.  The primeknits you can tell they are more careful with because those will be what keep the model out of Roshe territory.

...At least that's what I HOPE they are doing.

i like that more, would also be up for a full leather combo... but guess would be too heavy for the NMD theme
 
Alright so I have never purchased a pair of Adidas in my life. I normally wear a 10.5 in Free Runs but a 9.5 in Jordans. What size would I wear in these?
