As the summer months of 2023 fast approach, NEIGHBORHOOD and adidas join forces to deliver two beautiful new iterations of the NMD S1 silhouette. This is not the first time the two contemporary brands are executing a partnership like this.
The NMD_S1 N KNIT is a low-cut model, featuring adidas' classic Primeknit upper which is known for its breathability and intricate design. The NMD_S1 N BOOTS, on the other hand, boast elegant black suede paneling, a side-zip closure, and a magnetic buckle system. The two silhouettes have identical midsoles, with co-branding and “Tokyo Est. 1994” text on the side. Both models also feature a playful zig-zag stitching pattern.
This new collaboration by NEIGHBORHOOD and adidas is sure to capture the attention of style-minded individuals and streetwear fans. The footwear retails for approximately $258 USD/
