Few shoe brands have had styles that have changed American sneaker culture as much as Nike, but Adidas might be a close second. Between styles like the Samba and Superstar and now even the Ultraboost, most people can say they’ve stepped into one of the sports giant’s models at least once in their lives. But there’s another Adidas sneaker that’s quietly making its way to greatness thanks to its go-anywhere silhouette and comfortable sole, and it’s on sale for up to $70 off at Dick’s.
The adidas NMD R1 Shoes are currently on sale for just $60 at Dick's Sporting Goods in White/Grey/Green — 54% off the regular $130 price. The NMD is a big hit with Dick's shoppers, with a near-perfect 4.6-star rating after nearly 14,000 votes. While styles like the Samba have been trending more recently, the NMD remains one of the brand's best-selling styles, and Dick's is offering it in sizes 7.5 to 14 for $60 to $80 in a variety of colors, but they're starting to sell out.

The NMD is a modernized version of the retro running shoe, drawing inspiration from ’70s and ’80s styles and using updated materials to keep feet comfortable. The sock-like knit upper provides incredible flexibility that can’t be achieved with more structured leather or suede, while also featuring adidas’ Boost cushioning that provides a springy push with every step that will keep you running for miles. The sole is extremely grippy thanks to its multi-patterned waffle pattern.
Those who make the NMD their go-to sneakers swear by its comfort. “The only shoe I’ve bought twice,” says one shopper. “Super comfy and great for walking and standing all day. Great for wide feet.” Another shopper agrees. “Absolutely great for walks and everyday wear. Versatile, lightweight, cool, and functional.”

For others, it’s all about style. “I love, love, love these shoes,” one shopper exclaimed. “I’m on my third pair of the same ones so I don’t have to worry about missing a white pair.” Another shopper called the shoes “clean” and “classic,” and said they were “the perfect everyday shoe.”
If you’re looking for breathable and forgiving sneakers that won’t break the bank, now’s the time to pick up the legendary Adidas NMD for a much lower price. But make sure you get yours soon, as they’re likely to sell out at this price.
