FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by performance running technology, the NMD_R1 is primarily intended for lifestyle and casual use, not heavy-duty marathon running.
How do I clean the white or red accents?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently wipe the colored sections; avoid harsh chemicals that might strip the fabric dyes.
Can I swap the heel patches with any Velcro?
The heel overlay is designed specifically for compatible adidas accessory patches; check the manufacturer's listings for compatible add-ons.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
No, the leather and knit construction is not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep puddles to protect the materials.
Do these sneakers fit true to size?
Yes, most users find the NMD_R1 fits true to standard UK adult sizes, though the sock-like knit provides a snug fit.
Troubleshooting
Knit upper feels slightly loose over time
The textile is designed to stretch; ensure your laces are adjusted properly or consider adding a thin performance insole.
Velcro patch not sticking correctly
Clean the hook-and-loop surface with a soft brush to remove dust or lint that may be preventing a secure seal.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your NMD_R1s in optimal condition, treat them as you would any premium leather and textile hybrid. For setup, simply adjust the laces upon the first wear to suit your preferred tightness, as the knit upper will naturally mold to your foot over time. Compatibility is standard for this model, fitting true to size for most adults. For care, avoid machine washing. Instead, use a soft brush and mild soap to spot-clean the textile knit and a leather conditioner for the heel overlay to maintain material integrity. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading on the scarlet accents.
