A sneakerhead's favourite, the NMD model was first released last December. adidas has since released multiple colourways ranging from pastel beige to volcano red, which have all flown off shelves quickly. adidas restocks them regularly, so keep a look out for more colours coming your way. 
 
Several celebrities have been seen in the NMDs, including Posh Spice herself, who took to Instagram to show off her new find.
