adidas has proven year after year that they’ve achieved the near-perfect balance between practical innovation and relevant style. It’s a challenge that the industry as a whole is perpetually tasked with, and the three-stripes brand has been able to effectively touch on the minutia that separates the flashes in the pan with truly timeless designs. Two of more powerful stallions in the German stable is the NMD_R1 and the Nite Jogger; the former reinvented the casual lifestyle shoe, while the latter displayed seamless integration of past and present. That’s the true definition of innovation without the frills, and luckily for consumers Finish Line continues to be a leading purveyor of the best that adidas has to offer.
Merging the street-ready aesthetic of both lifestyle silhouettes with the luxurious nature of animalistic prints, the adidas Innovation Lab delivers a “Reptile Pack” centered around this timely intersection if trends that are dominating the scene. The Nite Jogger (available at Finish Line) opts for a stealthy stance with a black and grey upper with touches of an experimental green on the heel and an iridescent film on the reflective panels, while the NMD_R1 (available at Finish Line) goes for the luxury angle as the pattern adorns the form-fitting Primeknit upper in a two-toned grey. Rounding out the capsule are three women’s styles that feature the reptilian detail on the heels, each paired elegantly with either an ecru tint (essentially a neutral linen tone) or a black/pink combination that sees soft feminine hue place on the heel portions of the shoes. Shop any of the three above.

At this juncture, neither the Nite Jogger nor the NMD R1 need any re-introduction, but we’ll give both silos their due anyway. The Nite Jogger is a perfect reflection of what lifestyle footwear enthusiasts and comfort seekers need in a shoe. It blends the retro-stylings of running kicks from the 1990s with contemporary design strategies that remove excess bulk, while the unrivaled full-length BOOST cushioning unit provides toe-to-heel support when traversing the late hours on renegade photo shoots or underground party scenes.
The NMD_R1, on the other hand, is what you’d call a modern classic. When it first burst onto the scene in (very) late 2015, this simple yet substantial sneaker took the world of casual kicks by storm and played a major role in adidas’ resurgence in the U.S. market. Each and every R1 style that hit the shelves were sold out immediately, and while that pace has understandably cooled off a bit, it continues to be one of the true go-to options today – and this slick Reptile Pack rendition is up for grabs now on Finish Line.
