FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The NMD_R1 is designed for comfort and style for everyday wear. While they can handle light jogging, they may not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for intense or long-distance running.
How do I clean the knit upper?
Gently wipe the knit upper with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always air dry.
Can I swap out the heel patch for other designs?
Yes, the heel overlay features a Velcro patch that can be replaced with other NMD_R1 compatible patches, which are sold separately.
What material is the shoe made of?
The upper is primarily made from a breathable knit textile, with nylon and potentially leather elements depending on the specific variant, and a rubber outsole.
What does NMD stand for?
NMD stands for Nomad, reflecting the shoe's inspiration from urban explorers and its blend of modern technology with retro-inspired design.
What is the best way to ensure a proper fit?
Refer to the Adidas sizing chart for UK adult sizes. The sock-like fit means they should be snug but not constricting. Consider trying them on if possible.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the knit material is breathable and not waterproof. They are not designed for wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
The knit upper is designed to stretch slightly. Wear them for short periods to allow them to mold to your foot. If still uncomfortable, consider if a larger size is needed.
Difficulty inserting foot into the sock-like upper
Gently pull the webbing heel tab to create more opening. Ensure your heel slides in smoothly without forcing.
Scuffs or marks on the knit material
Gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a soft-bristled brush may be used carefully.
Velcro heel patch not attaching securely
Ensure both the patch and the Velcro area on the shoe are clean and free of debris. Press firmly to secure.
