The adidas NMD R1 Essential Pink is a running shoe that finds inspiration in the original adidas NMD from 2015. It incorporates design elements found in adidas running shoes from the 1980s. The women's Essential Pink adidas NMD R1 boasts a stretchy knit upper that conforms to the foot's shape and provides breathability. In addition, the shoe doesn’t have a tongue, allowing it to adapt to the foot’s shape. Instead, the laces wind through eyelets in a panel sewn onto the upper. The sneaker features a Core Black base with Shock Pink details on the Boost midsole, which provides energy return and cushioning without adding bulk to the silhouette. Our experts appreciate the oversized pull tab on the heel, which includes 'LAMARQUE' in bold lettering. The adidas NMD R1 Essential Pink was released on May 21, 2017, and retailed for a price of $170.
