It's a collection named after the oriental style of embroidery where a unique stitching method results in a patterned background. Sashiko literally translates to “little stabs” which is a crude way of describing this intricate needlework.
Most sneakerheads will know this upcoming NMD R1 collection as the 'Zebra' Pack on account of that black and white fusion. Regardless of the name or inspiration, this is another hyped release for the Nomad.
Three silhouettes are scheduled to arrive with a choice of two NMD R1s and an attractive adidas NMD R1 Zebra White.
The City Sock 'Sashiko' features that high-top aesthetic with the soft Primeknit extending at the ankle. Sure, this bold colourway won't be for everyone but it looks surprisingly understated with a pair of jeans.
Otherwise, the 'Zebra' adidas NMD R1s opt for an OG construct without the addition of welded three stripes across the sidewall. All previous releases to feature this more minimalist design sold-out instantly.
By this point, you're probably desperate to know where to cop the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Semi Frozen Yellow.
European stockists are the first to go live on Wednesday 16th August at 11pm. They'll be a handful of reputable and major stockists releasing from Sneakersnstuff to The Good Will Out, Caliroots and asphalt Gold.
