Adidas NMD_R1 Trainers - Black/Red - UK 5

The NMD_R1 is inspired by running shoe design and offers good cushioning for daily wear. However, they are primarily fashion trainers and may not provide the specialized support and cushioning needed for intense or long-distance running.

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the materials, especially the knit upper and leather components, and compromise the adhesives. Hand washing is the preferred method for cleaning.

The patches on the heel overlay are designed to be swapped out with other compatible patches (sold separately) to allow for personalization and to change the shoe's appearance.

The upper is primarily made of a breathable knit textile, with leather elements typically found in the heel overlay and potentially other structural areas. The specific materials may vary slightly depending on the exact production run.

Refer to the Adidas sizing chart for accurate measurements. The sock-like fit means they should be snug but not uncomfortably tight. Consider your usual shoe size and any preference for a looser or tighter fit.

Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Gently scrub with a soft brush if necessary, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

The NMD_R1 series is available in a wide range of colors and variations. The 'Core Black Red' is one specific colorway within this popular line.

The knit upper is designed to be snug. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if laces can be loosened.

Use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner. Avoid exposing the shoes to harsh chemicals or prolonged direct sunlight, which can cause fading.

Ensure both the Velcro on the shoe and the patch are clean and free of debris. Press firmly to secure. If the Velcro is worn out, replacement patches might offer better adhesion.

Remove insoles and allow them to air out separately. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Ensure shoes are completely dry between wears.
