FAQs
What makes the Boost technology special?
Boost technology uses thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) pellets that are expanded and fused together. This creates a unique midsole structure that provides excellent energy return, responsiveness, and cushioning compared to traditional EVA foam.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
Refer to adidas's official sizing chart for UK men's sizes. The PrimeKnit upper offers a flexible fit, but it's recommended to try them on if possible or carefully consult reviews regarding sizing recommendations.
Can these sneakers be worn for running?
While they offer excellent cushioning, the NMD S1 is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for comfort and style. They are not optimized for high-impact performance running.
What is the significance of the NMD plugs?
The distinctive plugs on the midsole are a hallmark of the NMD line, originally inspired by archival adidas tech models. They contribute to the unique aesthetic and can offer some additional support.
How durable is the saw-toothed outsole?
The rugged, saw-toothed outsole is designed for durability and provides reliable traction for everyday wear. However, excessive wear on abrasive surfaces can still impact its longevity.
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?
The PrimeKnit upper is flexible and adaptable, which can accommodate a range of foot widths. However, individuals with very wide feet might find them snug. Checking specific reviews for wide foot wearers is recommended.
Troubleshooting
PrimeKnit upper feels too tight
Wear the shoes with thin socks initially, or with slightly thicker socks for a brief period to allow them to stretch slightly to your foot shape.
Stains on the translucent white midsole
Gently use a melamine foam sponge (like a magic eraser) with water. Test on an inconspicuous area first to ensure no damage to the material.
Discoloration of white elements
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause yellowing over time. Clean regularly to prevent dirt buildup.

Care Instructions:
