The adidas NMD R1 Pharrell HU Hue Man Tangerine is a special edition sneaker that is part of the collaborative line between adidas and American singer and record producer Pharrell Williams. It is a reimagining of the NMD R1 silhouette, which is known for its modern design and innovative Boost cushioning technology. Its upper is constructed from adidas' Primeknit material, a breathable fabric that is crafted to conform to the shape of the foot. An unconventional lacing system wraps around the heel tab and adds to the shoe’s distinctive look, which is otherwise categorized by its bright and energetic "tangerine" orange colorway. Stark white typography across the top of the shoe adds further visual interest against the otherwise solid hue. What experts love most about the adidas NMD R1 Pharrell HU Hue Man Tangerine is the rugged tread pattern of the outsole, which ensures traction and durability on various surfaces. These shoes retailed originally for $240 when they released on September 29, 2016.
