Sneakerheads, it's time to get excited. Adidas just unveiled its most recent sneaker, the NMD. Taking cues from a few of the brand's classics—namely the Micro Pacer, the Rising Star, and the Boston Super—the new style is designed to appeal to the guy who needs a shoe that'll take him through his day without stopping off for a footwear change.

"The sneakers in the Eighties were pretty much designed for sport but our lives have changed," Adidas Originals vice president of global design Nic Galway, told WWD. The NMD, on the other hand, is made for the demands of the modern world. "It was interesting for me to make a product that uses Originals' rich archives but at the same time connects with the future generation," Galway continued.

The NMD employs Adidas' Boost technology, and adds EVA pellets for additional stability and shock resistance. The Primeknit upper is light and form-fitting, eliminating the need for extraneous panels or materials. Gone are the days of extra bulk. "Primeknit completely changes this. Everything gets reduced, which gives it a new aesthetic," said Galway.

If you're in the market for a sneaker that combines the best elements of classic runners with all the advantages of modern technology, make sure to mark your calendar. The NMD launches in stores on Saturday, with a retail price of $170. And if recent history is any indicator, it'll sell out in short order. Don't sleep.
