adidas Consortium x The Good Will Out NMD CS1 PK - now on UrlfreezeShops Launches

Shinobi - the male ninjas of feudal Japan - were often tasked with espionage or assassination, striking in the dead of night using their legendary technique 'Ankoku Toshi Jutsu' which allowed them to see in complete darkness.

Looking to these iconic figures in Japanese history for inspiration, adidas Consortium and Cologne-based sneaker experts The Good Will Out have unveiled their collaborative iteration of the NMD CS1 silhouette.

The upper is constructed from three interconnected Primeknit patterns, all in a single shade of black but with subtle variations in texture to add a sense of depth and intrigue. Sitting atop a cushioning BOOST™ midsole, the shoe is complemented by a rippled outsole which adds extra grip and a tough, utilitarian edge.

Amidst sneaker culture's current obsession with exploring the use of functional apparel and footwear in urban environments, this all black NMD CS1 is yet another striking execution of an already iconic silhouette.
