Men's adidas Originals NMD Sale

A History of Style

The NMD is a “greatest hits” collection of sorts, combining the best elements from three popular adidas running shoes originally released in the mid-1980s. The colored foam blocks under the heel and forefoot recall the Micropacer, the Rising Star, and the Boston, all of which featured a similar design in the 1984-86 era. The men’s NMD clearance puts that throwback style within reach now. When the adidas NMD R1 debuted in December 2015, it followed on the sudden popularity of the adidas Ultraboost. The NMD employed the Ultraboost cushioning in its midsole, putting those thousands of energy beads to work so you rebound with every step. And the colored blocks make it easily recognizable.

The Primeknit upper gives the NMD a sleek look interrupted only by adidas’ trademark three stripes. The V2 update retains all of the OG charms but includes a polyurethane heel cage that locks you into the cushioning while providing support and stability with every step.

Built for the Nomadic Life

While the adidas Originals NMD was inspired by the best of adidas’ running styles, it’s developed a lasting legacy in the sneakerhead community as a casual kickback type of shoe. The “NMD” name is a shortened reference to “nomad,” the type of lifestyle that follows its own rules and transcends borders. So while its predecessors once pounded the pavement grinding out miles and personal bests, the NMD is more ideal at a speed that lets everyone see your taste in footwear.

The NMD’s design lends itself to easy colorblocking, which adidas Originals designers didn’t shy away from. Go subtle or bold, monochrome, or multicolor. Find the colorway that blends into your outfit or stands out all on its own, however you define yourself.

And with adidas Originals NMD men’s shoes on sale at Eastbay, you can stock up with more for less.
