I went in and was like, I bought the XR1 yesterday can I get one, and I got one
Adidas NMD thread

I went in and was like, I bought the XR1 yesterday can I get one, and I got one
the only difference i see right now is that theres some nmds that have real high resale value on em... like the vintage white, japans (kinda), the og black, city packs, some sock nmd, red apple nmd.... as long as adidas dont ever retro these then they wont exactly be like the roshes.
some rare roshes were the calypsos.... then nike brought them back and basically the resale value went from like $200+ down to like $95 smh.

NMD's are arguably 3stripes Ace card right now. They played the right cards and if they continue on this note I do not think they will end up like what Roshes are today.
It's almost instant sell out for a general release mesh on the popular sizes. There maybe sizes sitting in some locations, but as a whole?
And it's not just sneakerheads that are wanting. We talking regular people that are into dressing decently but not knee deep in sneaker culture.
When the demand is at that level, ANY brand is tempted to capitalise on it. That balance is a thin line.
How to increase market share & yet ensure to keep that level of "demand" or desirability? Not easy...

adidas just shipped my white rx1's...if you didn't get your shipping confirmation by now then they are cancelling your orders.
it happens
but the nmd is a completely different beast than the roshes...roshes were popular because of the price. i guess you can compare the mesh nmd's to roshes
but PK nmd's will never be like roshes
it happens
if adidas puts out another boost model that can compete with the nmd and ultra boost then they wont end up like roshes.....

Nothing wrong with a group of whatever ethnic group buying some kicks.

NMDs are just a great lifestyle shoe overall. Stylish and comfortable (fairly), easily the highlight for anyone buying shoes. Whereas models like the UB are also used as lifestyle shoes, in terms of style IMO NMDs beat them.
With all the popularity theres no wonder that they would produce a ton of pairs. However imo the PK will probably not end up as a GR but mesh probably will.

Possibly why KITH pulled them from the site... I thought their image had the bottom of the boost black as well.... I could be bugging though

That's really weird you would think adidas would just paint the whole boost

I don't think so... nobody knows what an NMD is let alone wear Adidas here in the US. It's all Nike here.
Which is why NMD will never be mass market like Roshe until Adidas actually pushes up by market share.

Does pk xr1 run true to size or fits bigger like previous pk model? My true size is 9, but have to go down to size 8 for pk

Adidas has 1 ace in the whole. they have some tech in the shoe even though IMHO it is the worst example of boost they have on the market. Still Roshe's were some of the most uncomfortable shoes I ever wore. NMD's at least give good causal comfort and a new/retro styling if that makes any sense.

Wouldn't be surprised if complex chooses it as shoe of the year, first UB then NMD

Boom. Those are money. Pumped to get the Xr1s in triple white and cyan I copped.
A LOT of NTers ate this time around, and it speaks to how this board is growing. I didnt know to go for the cyan xr1s until I saw on this board there were only 300 of them on ADC and those were the ones to focus on. Thanks to you all for the info. Cheers (raises a beer)
