Pharrell Williams continues to build upon his adidas Hu designs with the latest black colorway iteration of the NMD S1 RYAT sneaker model for the season. The shoe boasts a chunky silhouette and has leather collars for a premium feel.
This holds the canvas quarter panels in place and it is perforated throughout the overlays along the lateral walls for a touch of breathability - all of these areas are dyed in black. Bold blue makes its way through at the lateral heel section for a touch of bold contrast. The back is marked with shaggy suede in gray for a textural contrast paired with bright orange heel tabs before Humanrace branding finishes the design with bold white branding at the tongue.
