The upper of these shoes is constructed using PrimeKnit material, which is lightweight, flexible, and offers a secure, snug fit. It is predominantly chalk-white barring the small branding details which appear in a purple or light green hue. The midsole, on the other hand, has a clean white shade and incorporates Boost technology to provide responsive cushioning. The shoes still retain the signature adidas NMD R1 branding elements like the three stripes on the sides and the trefoil logo on the heel tab.
A standout feature on the adidas NMD R1 Chalk White Semi Solar Yellow is the EVA plugs on the midsole. They are strategically placed to enhance stability and provide support during rapid movements. The plugs are also covered in green and purple hues, adding to the aesthetic. The shoes were released at the retail price of $130 on 1st August 2018.
