FAQs

Can I replace the heel patches with any Velcro patch?

The heel overlay is designed to work with standard hook-and-loop compatible patches that match the dimensions of the NMD overlay.

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

While the NMD_R1 is built with running-inspired technology, it is optimized for casual wear and short, light athletic sessions.

Is the upper material waterproof?

The NMD_R1 uses a breathable construction which is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to prevent moisture from saturating the leather.

How do I determine if I have the right size?

The sock-like fit should feel secure around the midfoot with approximately a thumb's width of space at the toe.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the NMD construction. Always hand clean.

Troubleshooting

Heel patch feels loose or detached

Clean the Velcro surface with a soft brush to remove lint and debris, then press the patch firmly onto the overlay.

Shoe feels too tight over the arch

The sock-like upper is meant to be snug. Try adjusting the laces to allow for more volume or ensure you are wearing thinner performance socks.

Leather showing scuffs

Use a specialized leather conditioner or a leather-safe cleaning cloth to buff out surface-level scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your adidas NMD_R1 trainers in top condition, follow these care steps: Clean leather surfaces with a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt. If a deeper clean is required, use a damp cloth and mild soap, but avoid submerging the shoes in water to maintain the integrity of the leather and internal structure. The Velcro patch on the heel should be kept free of debris to ensure a strong grip when swapping out your custom patches. Always air-dry your trainers at room temperature away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking or warping.
