While adidas Originals is cashing in on the ongoing adidas NMD hype, we take a closer look at this adidas NMD_R1 Triple Black colorway.

This pair is not to be confused with the other “Black” pair that sports Japanese characters on the midsole. Instead, this adidas NMD is a sample version that features a full Black-based upper built with a breathable mesh upper, welded TPU Three Stripes, full-grain leather heel tab and branded heel pull. The result, a pretty sick “Triple Black” adidas NMD_R1 colorway that would make for a nice summer release.

However, this is only a sample pair, so it’s unclear as of right now if we’ll see them actually make their way to retail stores.
