Full details
The adidas NMD_R1 'Core Black Red' trainers are designed for adult males seeking a comfortable and stylish shoe for everyday wear and light athletic activities.

A minor caveat is the heel overlay's Velcro patch, which may not appeal to all users and requires separate patches for customization.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
While comfortable for shorter runs and daily wear, the NMD_R1 series is best suited for casual running and light athletic activities. For dedicated long-distance training, shoes with more specialized support and cushioning might be preferable.
How do I choose the right size?
The NMD_R1 often features a sock-like fit. It is recommended to consult the adidas sizing chart for UK sizes. Many find ordering their usual athletic shoe size works well, but consider trying them on if possible, as individual fit preferences vary.
Can the red three-stripes be removed?
The three-stripes are an integral part of the shoe's design and are not designed to be removed.
Where can I find additional heel patches?
Additional heel patches are typically sold separately by adidas or authorized retailers. Check the official adidas website or sports footwear stores for available customization options.
What material is the main upper made of?
The main upper is constructed from a breathable knit textile, designed for comfort and a snug, adaptive fit.
Are these waterproof?
No, the knit upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions or light moisture but not for heavy rain or wet environments.
What is the primary color of the shoe?
The primary color of this model is 'Core Black', with secondary accents in scarlet red.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust lacing. For a tighter fit, ensure laces are pulled evenly. For a looser fit, loosen the lacing around the midfoot. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Knit upper feels excessively warm
Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. Wear in cooler environments or during less strenuous activities. The knit is designed for breathability, but extreme heat can still cause warmth.
Red color bleeding onto socks or lighter clothing
Initial wears, especially in damp conditions, may cause slight color transfer. Wash the inside of the shoes gently with cold water and mild soap. Allow to dry completely before wearing with light-colored socks.
Velcro patch not sticking securely
Ensure both the hook and loop surfaces are clean and free of lint or debris. Press firmly when attaching patches. If the Velcro is worn, it may need replacement.
