The NMD_XR1 consists of a knit upper with adidas’s signature Boost midsole, providing responsive cushioning and comfort. The TPU midfoot cage introduced in this silhouette offers structured support in an otherwise flexible design. The Ice Purple colorway incorporates a grey Glitch pattern at the upper with a solid grey cage and leather on the heel. A gum outsole matches a tan heel pull tab displaying adidas branding. Grey foam inserts, a defining characteristic of the NMD, sit on either side of the sneaker. The Ice Purple colorway was released globally in December 2016.
