# Breathable Slip-On Sneakers These New adidas NMDs Come in Baby Blue and Deep Burgundy Colorways By Riley von Niessen | Published 2017-02-06 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-adidas-nmds References: [hypebae](https://hypebae.com/2017/1/adidas-flashback-primeknit-maroon-easter-green-513) & [adidas](http://www.adidas.ca/) These new [adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humanrace-3) NMDs make use of the German sportswear giant's [Primeknit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-ultraboost-5x) technology, meaning that the sneakers are incredibly lightweight, breathable and comfortable. The two new styles are available in women's sizes only, and come in two different colorways. One is a bright hue of baby blue and the other is a deep burgundy, both feature white accents for contrast. The brand's iconic stripes are included on the sides of the uppers in a matching hue, but in a material that's different from the rest of the [mesh-like Primeknit fabric](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superstar-breathe) that's used. Although there's laces on the new adidas NMDs for aesthetic purposes, the sneakers are made to simply slide on, making them perfect for casual wear, as well as for athletic purposes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Primeknit Technology:** The use of Primeknit technology in sneakers allows for lightweight, breathable, and comfortable footwear. - **Women's Exclusive Styles:** The release of women's exclusive styles in new colorways provides an opportunity to target a specific market segment. - **Slip-on Convenience:** The incorporation of slip-on design in sneakers offers a convenient and hassle-free footwear option. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sportswear:** The sportswear industry can explore the potential of integrating Primeknit technology into their product offerings to enhance wearer experience. - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can capitalize on women's exclusive styles and incorporate similar features into their footwear collections to cater to specific customer preferences. - **Athletics:** The athletic industry can leverage the slip-on convenience trend to develop innovative athletic footwear that provides easy wear and increased functionality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bulky Traction-Focused Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humanrace-3.md) - [Pastel Easter-Ready Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-adidas-samba-og.md) - [Futuristic Slip-On Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-unveils-climacool.md) - [Navy Blue Collegiate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sl-72-rs.md) - [Ultra-Plump Sleek Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aruku.md) - [Sleek Laceless Runners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megaride-s2.md) - [Breezy Mesh Collaborative Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superstar-breathe.md) - [Textural Navy-Blue Suede Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hamburg-sneaker-1.md) - [Trendy Foam Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-lightblaze-moc.md)
