adidas NMD_CS1

The NMD City Sock PK off the adidas "Top Fashion" series, shines with a futuristic, unusual look including the revolutionary BOOST sole. The City Socks` Upper is entirely made of the finest PRIMEKNIT and nestles like a sock to the foot.

According to its designers, the NMD creation was inspired by three previous shoe characters: The 1984 Micropacer, the 1985 Rising Star and the 1986 Boston Super. Ahead of its NMD release, the time-honored brand takes us into its archives to transmit, how these ’80s classics have served as their new flagships´ predecessors.

First up is the Micropacer which debuted in conjunction with the in 1984 Los Angeles Olympics to become the first shoe featuring wearable technology. In 1985, the Rising Star pioneered the sneaker customization as well as the running flexibility by its interchangeable and removable cushion elements. Lastly, the multi-functional Boston Super appeared in 1986, showcasing versatility as both, a trainer and a runner.
