The adidas NMD_R1 V2 ‘Mexico City’ is part of the ‘United by Sneakers’ collection, which pays tribute to certain international cities that have played host to the Olympic Games in the past. This particular silhouette is a homage to Mexico City, the host of the 1968 Summer Olympics, boasting a white knitted upper contrasted by a Boost midsole in red and green. Notably, the forefoot EVA plug and webbing heel strap are adorned with Spanish text that translates to ‘Mexico City’ and ‘The Brand With the Three Stripes.’
