The adidas NMD S1 has garnered a lot of attention ever since Pharrell initially revealed it in 2021. Its contemporary make has been reimagined by a number of collaborators since its debut, including the likes of designer Philllllthy and manufacturer of upscale travel accessories RIMOWA. More inline releases are in the pipeline with the latest being this “Core Black/Linen Green” colorway.

It’s a darker reflection of the “Ice Mint” iteration revealed in April 2023. Its Black PrimeKnit base layer are matched with the pastel green tones of the overlays. Setting this model apart from its contemporaries are the semi-chunky midsoles and they’re a mainstay here, dressed in “Linen Green” and layered over the lighter serrated outsole.

They’re scheduled for release on 11 May for US$250 and will be sold as an adidas exclusive.
