In 2016, adidas marked a significant milestone in the Boost midsole's history by unveiling the exclusive 'Pitch Black' edition of the NMD_R1 Primeknit, which showcased a departure from the traditional white hue. This highly sought-after release was limited to a mere 500 pairs, intended exclusively for the brand's closest associates and loved ones. With a sleek tonal black upper construction, seamlessly complemented by matching TPU plugs, the design portrayed an understated yet captivating aesthetic. Adding to its allure, the Boost midsole and outsole were flawlessly blacked-out, resulting in a truly refined and fashionable offering.
