adidas Originals collaborates with The Whitaker Group on a pair of speedy knit sneakers that enjoy a sleek and sporty silhouette. The footwear boasts adidas' Primeknit upper that allows for a snug fit and optimum flexibility. Further, the shoe design is supported by a signature BOOST midsole and a tonal EVA insert.
The adidas Originals x The Whitaker Group's knit sneakers are decisively race-themed and "sure to appease most car enthusiasts." The brands decorated the footwear with a pattern that is termed "motion blur" and which appears "at the medial, lateral and toe portions of the shoe." The Whittaker Group adds a nice touch to the NMD Racer with its branded label on the heel and "checkered insole motif." Finally, the knit sneakers are complete with a subtle full-grain leather heel patch.
