Product Information
Full details
The adidas NMD_R1 in grey is designed for adult men seeking a blend of iconic street style and modern comfort for daily wear. Its primary benefit is the responsive cushioning paired with a lightweight, sleek silhouette that keeps feet comfortable during long periods on the move. However, potential owners should note that the mesh-based construction is best suited for dry or mild weather rather than harsh, wet conditions.

FAQs
Are these shoes good for running?
While comfortable for walking, the NMD_R1 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer, not for high-intensity athletic running.
How do I clean the white midsole?
A magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild detergent works well to remove scuffs from the midsole.
Is the sizing true to fit?
Yes, this model generally follows standard UK sizing, fitting true to your regular shoe size.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if needed.
Are they water-resistant?
No, the breathable mesh material is not waterproof; it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with gentle soap to carefully wipe the surface.
Creasing or loss of shape
Use shoe trees when not in use to maintain the internal structure of the trainers.
Slight discomfort after long wear
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly; the NMD construction is meant to fit like a sock, so overtightening can lead to pressure points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your adidas NMD_R1s, ensure you have the correct fit; as a UK size 8.5, this model is designed for a standard adult foot profile. When it comes to care, spot cleaning with a soft brush and mild soapy water is recommended to maintain the fabric's appearance. Avoid machine washing, as high-heat drying or agitation can damage the delicate midsole foam and glue bonds. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material stiffening.
