Looking to expand on its range of casual lightweight footwear options, the German sportswear giant released a new adidas NMD.
The latest version of the City Sock 2 has a futuristic vibe, which comes from a combination of its streamlined construction and the minimalist colorway that complements it. Marked by white and black, the new adidas NMD model only features a few accents of brown leather for contrast. These bits appear on the back of the heels in the form of pull tabs.
A circular pattern of lines is at the center of the uppers on both sneakers, giving them a unique look that's different from the other City Sock models that have previously been released by the brand.
