The adidas NMD S1, a modern marvel, traces its lineage back to the original NMD concept launched in 2015. This design philosophy, rooted in urban exploration, draws inspiration from iconic 1980s adidas models, specifically the Micro Pacer, Rising Star, and Boston Super. The collaboration with Brooklyn-based designer Phillip Leyesa, known as Philllllthy, elevates this heritage through his signature techniques.
Primarily designed for casual wear, the NMD S1 Philllllthy excels in urban environments and lifestyle settings. Its full-length Boost foam midsole provides responsive cushioning and optimal shock absorption. The gum rubber outsole, featuring a lugged traction pattern of raised adidas Trefoils, ensures secure grip and confident movement for the wearer.
The NMD S1, particularly the Philllllthy variant, has firmly established itself within the streetwear and sneakerhead communities. Phillip Leyesa's influence is undeniable, infusing his distinct aesthetic, which includes patchwork designs inspired by Japanese mending practices. The NMD S1's innovative design and comfortable wearability have made it a coveted item, solidifying its status as a contemporary icon in the world of footwear.
The NMD S1 Philllllthy boasts a sock-like Primeknit upper, meticulously woven with a striking black-and-white pattern. It incorporates a stretchy gray collar and knit fabric quarter panel. The design features a sky blue signature adidas 3-Stripes on the quarter panel, Philllllthy branding on the lateral sidewall, custom laces, and a suede tab on the tongue with the Trefoil logo.
