Adidas NMD R1 Black Gum Men's Review

The Adidas NMD R1 was released in 2015, and has been one of Adidas most popular shoes since then. In this review, I'll help you decide if you should buy a pair of these black gum bottoms or if there is a better shoe for your style needs. As always, hope this helps!

I was looking for a quality casual walking shoe that happened to fit my wide feet. You checked all my boxes! Thanks for the review. Hope your channel continues to grow.

[@ChrisRawls]

Glad it was helpful!

[@vansluna]

I have wide feet too, did you end up going up half a size

[@swetzwastaken]

Unexpectedly high quality for such a small working youtube channel, you just earned yourself one more subscriber. Keep it up!

[@ChrisRawls]

Much appreciated!

[@lateam9786]

I just picked these up on sale for 80 bucks right now. I also went up half a size. My normal size felt a little too snug both length and width wise. They might have stretched over time but the half size up is a perfect fit for me.

[@Ro-fd6qu]

Me too half a size up is perfect for these….

[@thebeezneez1000]

Those supports on the side are actually really impressive of how well they work.

[@airforceone6523]

Probably great modern shoes. Not so good for kicking “footballs” etc.. Not so good in the rain “socks get wet quick” So comfy, feels like wearing slides.

[@carlosmf1057]

Nice video, i got convinced to get them in full black 🙌

What is the meaning of NMD? Thank you for the answer.

[@ChrisRawls]

It's short for Nomad. The thought was the shoe is an "urban explorer"

Hi, great review! I am size 8 in my AF1s, do they have the same sizing?

[@ChrisRawls]

Probably not. The AF1 are true to size. These are wide in the toe box but slim in other places. I had to go a half size up, but then that a little too big. Most people go a half size down for these.

[@YunaKim5]

Sup friend. I know it has been a long time, but I was wondering if you could tell me what brand or style of pants you were using in this video. Thanks!!!

[@ChrisRawls]

Hey! Yeah, the pants are the Adidas Tiro 19, but the current version are the Tiro 21. They've lasted me years

[@DylanDocker]

Hi Chris! Do you know what this colorway is called? I am trying to decide between these and the triple black NMD R1's. Any advice on how to choose?

[@ChrisRawls]

This one is called Black Gum. I would just take a look at your current closet and see which one you could pair the most with your current outfits/closet and go with those.

[@hensolo10]

Great vid-like your feedback and presentation-keep it up , you got a new subscriber

[@ChrisRawls]

Much appreciated!

[@thalesgprime]

I bought one og pair two weeks ago and they're pretty comfy in terms of fitting, feels like a sock of some sorts. But two things ruined it for me. The back keeps nabbing my achilles and hurts really fast like in 5 mins walking. I get that with Vans slip-ons too. The other thing might be more personal but it feels really weird walking on it. The boost is too high and it just doesn't feel natural. It's a shame cuz I liked the aesthetics and fit, but I can't walk on it lol.

[@mrpleezy5275]

Been wanting to get one of these

[@ChrisRawls]

If you have the money, I think they're still a good buy.

How much space should you feel on the toes? I bought a 10,5 but I feel it shorter than my other shoes (vans 10,5) I feel my big toe touching the upper front

[@siddhantsingh7175]

You aren't the only one bro, just bought mine in size 8 (my usual) was too tight and even in 9 I still had my big toe touching the top fabric. Felt a lil weird not sure whether to keep it or nah

[@aguilasfan96]

Do these look dumb when you’re wearing pants and a polo? Thinking about getting these for casual work day

[@ChrisRawls]

Ehhh....I wouldn't say dumb, but it may look a little out of place. A solid color pair would look better like all white or all black.

[@MohdDoug169]

I’m a little late for the party but great video! Do you think these would be good for a casual run/jogging?

[@ChrisRawls]

Sorry for the late reply, Yeah, these should work fine. I will caution you though because the laces don't go all the way down the shoe, so they don't tighten up as much as other running shoes would, but this hasn't been a problem for me.

[@MohdDoug169]

@@ChrisRawls not a problem! Thank you for the explanation and for replying.

[@joshuamykdomingo4869]

Ey, you should checkout all the adidas sensebounce shoes and review them!

[@enriquerubin5611]

Pretty cool review man! Thanks! Are they true to size? I am a 9.5, what size should I get?

[@ChrisRawls]

Sorry about the late response. No, I wouldn't say true to size. Maybe half size down. It really depends on how you prefer your shoes to fit as well.

[@vees1334]

I'm the genius looking up reviews AFTER receiving my shipment in the mail lol... I wear a woman's 9 in Nike and got a 8.5 in NMD R1 because I heard they run big... they are sooo wide! I don't get it, my foot is not narrow so I don't know how these fit any one... and the laces don't really tighten the shoe, sad because I love the look

[@ChrisRawls]

Lmaoooooo I do the same thing! Lol the laces really don't help much do they?? I should have added that. It probably does still get the most use in my closet though. How have they been holding up for you?

[@vees1334]

@@ChrisRawls I haven't worn them yet - I want to exchange them for another style but all of the color combos I want are out of stock in my size... the struggle is real! I might try putting insoles in them like an old lady... might make them super comfy and as long as I always take my shoes off alone I will never bee embarrassed lol

[@vees1334]

but they legit slip off when I walk... way too wide
