FROM SPRING TO SUMMERTHESE FIVE ADIDAS ESSENTIALSARE MADE FOR EVERY OCCASION

The adidas NMD R1, when it was introduced back in 2015, easily went toe to toe with the UltraBOOST, as both silhouettes often sold out as quickly as they were released. Since then, the silhouette has amassed a wealth of colorways – some classic, others bold in their choice of palette – as well as quite a few design updates.

When we were locked indoors for the better part of 2020, the world collectively came to one conclusion: comfort is king. Whether working from home or making a quick trip to the bodega, few have time to lace up a pair of brogues or high-tops. They’ll likely slide into a pair of Adilette Slides and be out the door (yes, it’s that easy).

Quickly rising up the charts of the brand’s most beloved silhouettes, the adidas Forum – whether in its high-top, mid-top, or low-top trim – never ceases to disappoint, and the brand is continuously updating the shoe’s already massive GR catalog.

One of the first adidas shoes to be made of suede – a material not commonly used back in the mid ‘60s – the Gazelle is as beloved as it is simple, proffering a design that has easily stood the test of time. Its look has even garnered the attention of Gucci, who is about to release their very own take on the classic sneaker.

When it was first introduced, 4D came at a premium, retailing for a bit more than the average adidas runner. But today, with the Ultra4D and 4DFWD, the cushioning is far more accessible, so even more people can experience the Three Stripes’ latest innovation.
