Adidas' New NMD TS1 Model Features an All-Black Colorway

— August 10, 2018 — Fashion
adidas has been busy this season releasing a variety of new sneaker models, including a fresh iteration of the NMD TS1 model, which now has a GORE-TEX coating to provide it with a waterproof edge.

With the uppers of the sneakers made from an incredibly lightweight and breathable Primeknit material, they can easily adjust to the shape of the wearer's foot, providing all-day comfort and plenty of support. Due to this sleek design, the laces have also been replaced with a simple elastic toggle that can be tightened or loosened with one hand. The all-black colorway is accented with white branding that complements the tops of the sneakers, where the laces would normally be.
