Dolphin-Inspired Summer Sneakers

adidas' NmD R2 Model Receives a 'Miami Dolphins' Colorway

German sportswear giant adidas gives its signature NMD R2 footwear model a new summer colorway entitled 'Miami Dolphins.' The new hues that adorn the breathable sneaker are inspired by the National Football League team and its branding color palette. The label drops the new iteration as a part of its seasonal offering for Spring/Summer 2018, and boasts the signature 'Crystal White' Primeknit material as its uppers.

The Miami Dolphnes NMD R2 gets additional tonal details of light grey across its uppers at the three stripes branding accents, tongue tabs, and ankles. The sports team's signature tones of blue and orange are seen at the heel counter, lacing system, and pull tab. To round it all out, the BOOST midsoles are a full length clean white resting on top of a gum outsole.
