Kids' adidas Originals NMD

Forward Propulsion

Kicks from adidas have been cool for almost a century, and they’re built for today’s schoolyard bragging rights. But the brand goes way back. Launched in 1949 by Adi Dassler, the Three Stripes is about more than logo recognition. It’s the place to go for design history and style innovation. And while the Originals division is devoted to heritage vibes, it’s also the home base for streetwear experiments. That’s why the new sneaker styles keep on coming. In 2015, the newest model to join the adidas lineup was the adidas Originals NMD. To this day, the new spins and updates are perfect for today’s swiftly changing style aesthetics. 

Fit and Flare

Grade school boys and girls know that mixing old and new is a style win. So check the blend of retro and modern in the adidas Originals NMD R1 — a sleek silhouette, seamless fused Three-Stripes branding, and midsole rectangular foam inserts, inspired by vintage adidas sneaker models. That one-piece Primeknit upper doesn’t just look cool — it provides a comfy, sock-like fit that feels good all day long. Combine all that with full-length, adidas Boost cushioning, and this model is tough enough for after school pick-up games and races down the gym. All while offering stand-out style, in and out of the classroom. Pair them with jeans, T-shirts, leggings, shorts, or even sporty dresses — this versatile sneaker works with almost any dress code.

Up a Notch

As with any sneaker, the designs evolve. The adidas Originals NMD R1 V2 brings a new, tougher feel to this easy style. First, it’s got stand-out branding films that overlap the Three Stripes and foam inserts with a graphic blend of Japanese and English text. Then, there’s the updated sole silhouette: the heel blocks are bigger and brighter, to really show off those contrasting colorway patterns. Or check out the adidas Originals NMD R1 Trail. Say good-bye to the smooth finish of the flat-soled original and hello to the visual impact and edgy-cool feels of the deep tread Ultra Boost sole. Rugged outdoors vibes with plenty of street-inspired colorways make this model a go-anywhere winner.
