Adidas NMD thread

For some reason, link is dead now. But I bought em about 2 hrs ago, and got a confirmation email.

Odd...

Supposedly, today's drop was just gonna be at Mita, and the rest of the Consortium was dropping em next Sat. But Xhibition dropped this am. Maybe they screwed up and realized it afterwards?

Oh, and they were supposed to be 220, but Xhib had em for 200 w/ free shipping. Hopefully I don't get a cancellation.

I'll be curious to know how these size.
 
Looks nice, but I wonder why its in traditional and not simplified Chinese..


Because Traditional written Chinese looks better and is a way of maintaining National cultural identity across Borders, History and Generations.

Made a move to secure few of these shoes for the Personal Collection: Pharrell Williams x Adidas NMD HU China pack Blue (Peace) and Red (Passion). Also like the Green (Youth) colorway, but not exactly Spring/young anymore.
Went true to size 10.5 because of the Trail cage unlike usual 1/2 down for most pk nmd. Exact width and about a thumb extra length. Half diwn prob still ok for most people.
Absolutely just love this iteration of PW HUs. Didn't like the Multicolor pack, thought the Holi pack (bought Blank Canvas & Pink Glow) was unique, and skipping the upcoming Afro/Solar pack. Best pack since OGs. Must cop.
 
Only Taiwan and Hong Kong still continue to use traditional chinese.
 
Yes, Simplified Chinese characters are used in Mainland China and Singapore while Traditional Chinese characters are used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and by most overseas Chinese. You learn to write in cursive after print in English and understand both. Simplified print leaves a lot to be desired.

Hey guys is this yellowing a shoddy glue job by adidas or oxidation on the boost?

Need to know so can take next steps to fix it.

Thanks!

Pk only $140
Mesh $130

It is all good since there is no ub that i want. These are just some beaters to wear daily.
Those black and white pk ones are a must cop for me. First nmd I've been hyped on since statics.

You don't come back from the dead

I like these but this is basically them admitting they have been overpricing PK NMDs this entire time.

Honestly, if they move on from the R1 model and stop with the releases, interest will inevitably come back. Look at the 1.0 UBs, for example.
 
Thing is 1.0 UB are a great model, R1's are just decent . Don't think they will generate the same interest if they kept them exclusive
 
R1 is still dope. Adidas is lowering the r1 pk price to $140. Mesh probably is going down to $100. adidas is finally doing something abt the fading sales numbers

PK price being $140 now was actually already posted on this page, just a few posts above yours. Mesh is still $130.
 
I’m not usually a fan of purple but for some reason I’m really digging the Energy Ink R1s.

Also digging the poor man Bapes. Hopefully those hit clearance so I can not feel bad grabbing both.
