Adidas NMD thread

Speaking of Static NMD, the Wife has decided she wants a pair. Anyone seen a US 5-6 online anywhere?

Man, I've been waiting to see what Adidas will do next for a PK NMD. I personally loved the STLT and bought every colorway I wanted. It seems like everything new is mesh and not PK. I'm definitely not interested in mesh.

Has anyone seen what's on the horizon for PK NMDs?

I think Adidas has moved away from the PK because:

-It’s more expensive to produce than mesh
-People aren’t paying the $170 retail for PK NMDs anymore because NMD hype is pretty much nonexistent in 2019
-NMDs are basically the new Roshe now, sneakerheads have moved on from the model but non-sneakerheads are still interested and are more inclined to buy lower-priced mesh NMDs, especially when they are inevitably marked down.

I wish we would get an R3, but I don’t even think Adidas makes R2s anymore (or even XR1s, for that matter). It’s a shame because the line had a lot of promise but I think Adidas is simply satisfied selling as many R1s as possible rather than trying to design a worthy successor.

Yeah, you're right on all accounts! I absolutely love CS2s and was hoping for some more/better colorways on R2s. NMDs just work well for my wide feet, but I will only go PK as it's amazing and I have no interest in the mesh offerings. I guess we'll see what happens. I do have a few pairs of deadstock STLTs sitting in boxes so I'll have a stash to wear for a while.
 
I was lucky enough to cop a pair of the Bapes for my kid who wanted these for his 12th birthday. Very surprised I got thru. I had already gotten him the Bred 4s which were delivered yesterday. I intentionally got the 4s a little bigger since he’s still growing. Turned out to be a good decision. He can rock the Bapes now and 4s later.
