Few shoe brands have had a style that has changed American sneaker culture quite like Nike, but Adidas may be the closest finisher. With styles like the Samba and Superstar, and now even the Ultraboost, most people say they've stepped foot in at least one of the athletic giants in their lifetime. But there's another Adidas sneaker that's quietly on its way to greatness thanks to its go-anywhere silhouette and comfortable sole, and it was recently on sale at Dick's for $70 off.
The Adidas NMD R1 is available in White/Grey/Green at Dick's Sporting Goods right now for just $60 – 54% off the regular price of $130. The NMD was a big hit among Dick's customers, boasting an almost perfect rating of 4.6 stars after nearly 14,000 votes. While styles like the Samba have been trending more recently, the NMD remains one of the brand's best-selling styles, with Dick's selling it for $60-$80 in a variety of colors in sizes 7.5 to 14, but they're starting run out

The NMD is a modernized version of a retro runner that draws inspiration from the styles of the '70s and '80s, with updated materials to keep your feet comfortable. A sock-like knit upper keeps things breathable throughout, while providing a huge amount of flexibility that might not be available with more structured leather or suede. It also features Adidas Boost cushioning to give you a bouncy boost with every step to keep you going for miles. Thanks to the multi-pattern waffle tread, the sole is also very grippy.
Those who have chosen the NMD as their sneaker swear by their comfort. “The only shoe I've ever bought twice,” said one customer. “Super comfortable, great for walking and standing all day. Great on the wider side of the foot.” Another customer agreed, saying: “Absolutely great for walking and everyday use. They're versatile, light, cool and relevant.”

For others, it's all about style. “Love, love, love these shoes,” exclaimed one customer. “I'm wearing the exact same shoes for the third pair, just to make sure I'm not without a crisp white pair.” Another customer, who called them “clean” and “classic,” said they were the “perfect everyday shoe.”
If you've been looking for breathable and forgiving sneakers that won't break the bank, now's your chance to get your hands on the legendary Adidas NMD at a fraction of the cost. Get yours soon as they will likely sell out at this price.
