adidas and Pharrell Unveil the Cardboard Hu NMD S1 RYAT

— August 30, 2022 — Lifestyle
Pharrell Williams continues his ongoing partnership alongside adidas with the newest Hu NMD S1 RYAT Cardboard iteration. Speaking about the new drop, Williams stated that. “The RYAT is a cultural artifact and an object for humans pushing forward on our planet.”

The new silhouette is made entirely from mindful durabole materials as leather creates the upper and then it is secured more with a clear TPU cage that blends together TPU plugs for an accenting look. Similar to the brand's NMD line, it sits on top of a full-length boost midsole foundation to provide comfort and cushioning on top of the rugged rubber outsole. It is set to launch officially on Septmebr 2nd online at adidas and select retailers across the globe.
