The NMD XR1 'Core Black' was launched on November 25, 2016, featuring an overall black color scheme with a contrasting white Boost midsole. The inclusion of reflective 3M technology on the laces gives the illusion of illumination when exposed to light from a specific angle. Adding to its design, the shoe's heel tag proudly showcases adidas' iconic tagline, 'The Brand With the 3 Stripes', in various languages.
