One small step for adidas became a big leap for lifestyle fashion when adidas entered a multi-year partnership with the International Space Station National Lab. Launching into orbit on December 20, the adidas NMD “Space Tech” debuts in the Black and Orange colorway for men and grade-school kids. The new NMD “Space Tech” shoes offer the perfect blend of cutting-edge style and interstellar technology for nonstop energy return and responsive cushioning.
NMD is short for nomad, or someone who is always striving for better and looking toward the future. adidas applied the concept of a nomadic lifestyle to guide the shoe’s design and aesthetics. Your lifestyle is always on the move and the sleek silhouette and futuristic feel of the NMB “Space Tech” make it the best sneaker to carry you to the next step.
The kids’ and men’s adidas NMD shoes were designed by adidas’ Nic Galway, who also teamed up with Kanye West for the YEEZY design. These black and orange kicks come with Primeknit uppers that rest on Boost midsoles for maxed-out levels of strength, flexibility and stability. Boost is adidas’ most responsive cushioning ever and offers unrelenting energy return as you explore your space any time of day.
The same technology in the NMD “Space Tech” shoe is expected to head to the ISS Lab onboard a future SpaceX cargo mission as early as 2020. Astronauts at the station will conduct experiments on Boost pellets and adidas footwear. In the gravity-free environment, they’ll determine whether it’s possible to produce Boost midsoles with regions of different particle sizes – something scientists think could enhance footwear performance and comfort.
The limited-edition adidas NMD “Space Tech” shoes feature a stunning Black and Orange color palette and pack a serious punch of power and style. A “burrito” tongue adds a snug fit. Anti-shock plugs ensure longevity, and the textile upper hugs your foot, providing increased lockdown for optimal support.
