adidas NMD x Neighborhood Black Boost


adidas and Neighborhood might will be collaborating this fall with another NMD featuring a black and white theme. The newly surfaced sample is unlike any NMD we’ve seen before, as graphics hit the primeknit upper alongside minor details that hit the eva plugs and tongue. NBHD branding hits the eva plugs while the heels and back pull look are also given branded detailing. Lastly jagged patterns hit the upper for a final finish on this interesting NMD. No word on when these are going to release but stay tuned with Modern Notoriety for more news. via Modern-Noteriety.com
