The adidas NMD R1 underwent further advancements with the introduction of the NMD R1 ‘Triple Black’ in September 2016. This iteration marked a significant milestone as adidas debuted the first-ever fully blacked-out NMD R1 Boost midsole. Despite deriving its color from the absence of light, the reflective accents on its three stripes logo add a distinct shimmer when illuminated from the appropriate angle.
