Few shoe brands have styles that have changed American sneaker culture quite like Nike, but Adidas might be the closest runner-up. Between styles like the Samba and the Superstar and now even the Ultraboost, most people will say they've stepped foot into at least one of the athletic giant's models in their lifetime. But there's another Adidas sneaker that's quietly making a run for greatness thanks to its go-anywhere silhouette and comfortable sole, and they just went on sale for up to $70 off at Dick's.
The Adidas NMD R1 Shoes are on sale at Dick's Sporting Goods in the White/Grey/Green colorway for just $60 right now—54% off the normal $130 price. The NMD is a smash hit among Dick's shoppers, boasting a near-perfect 4.6-star rating after nearly 14,000 votes. Though styles like the Samba have been more on trend lately, the NMD remains one of the brand's bestselling styles, and Dick's has it on sale in multiple colors between $60 and $80 in sizes 7.5 to 14, but they're starting to sell out.
The NMD is a modernized version of a retro runner, drawing inspiration from styles of the '70s and '80s with updated materials to keep feet comfortable. A sock-like knit upper keeps things comprehensively breathable while providing immense flexibility that may not have come with more structured leather or suede. It also has Adidas' Boost cushioning, which offers a bouncy push-off with each step that'll keep you going for miles. The sole is also very grippy thanks to a multi-patterned waffle tread.
Those who have made the NMD their go-to sneakers swear by their comfort. "The only shoe I've ever bought twice," a shopper said. "Super comfy and great for walking and standing all day. Great for feet on the wider side." Another shopper agreed, saying, "It is absolutely great for walks and daily use. They are versatile, light, cool, and relevant."
For others, it's all about the style. "Love, love, love these shoes," a shopper exclaimed. "I'm on my third pair of the exact same shoes just to make sure I'm not ever without a crispy white pair." Another shopper who called them "clean" and "classic" said they're the "perfect everyday shoes."
If you've been looking for breathable and forgiving sneakers that won't break the bank, right now is the prime opportunity to snag the legendary Adidas NMD for a fraction of the cost. Make sure to pick yours up soon, though, because they're likely to sell out at this price.
