FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind this sneaker?

The adidas NMD S1 Pharrell Humanrace Mahbs Oatmeal is inspired by Pharrell Williams’ travels around the world, aiming to bring a new dynamic to footwear through its unique design elements.

How comfortable is the Boost midsole?

The Boost midsole is engineered to provide ultimate cushioning, offering excellent energy return and comfort for prolonged wear, making every step feel supported.

Will the rubber outsole provide good grip?

Yes, the rubber outsole features a Trefoil design specifically engineered to ensure ultimate grip and traction, which is beneficial for quick movements and stability.

How does the knit bootie construction affect the fit?

The knit bootie construction guarantees a secure and snug fit around the foot, providing a comfortable, sock-like feel and preventing unwanted movement inside the shoe.

What materials are used in the construction?

The primary materials include a knit fabric for the bootie construction on the upper, a Boost midsole for cushioning, and a rubber outsole for traction. The design incorporates screen printing and spray paint techniques on the heel.

How should I clean the Oatmeal and Blue colorway?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth for the knit upper. Avoid harsh chemicals. For the rubber outsole, mild soap and water can be used. Always air dry.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?

While designed with sports science in mind and offering good traction and cushioning, it is primarily intended as a lifestyle sneaker for comfort and style, rather than for intense athletic training.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel loose despite tying

Ensure the knit bootie construction is properly seated on the foot before tying. Re-tie the laces, ensuring a firm grip without overtightening.

Discoloration on the painted heel area

The painted details are designed for visual effect. Avoid aggressive rubbing or exposure to abrasive materials. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth should preserve the appearance. Due to the application technique, minor variations are inherent to the design.

Slight stiffness in the knit upper initially

The knit bootie construction may feel snug at first. Wear the shoes for short periods to allow them to mold to your foot's shape. The material will soften with wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These sneakers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: Designed for adult wear, these sneakers are suitable for casual use, athletic-inspired fashion, and everyday activities. They are compatible with a wide range of casual attire.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust from the knit material. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the fabric or printed details.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: For the Boost midsole and rubber outsole, a damp cloth with mild soap is usually sufficient. Ensure not to saturate the knit upper.
  3. Drying: Allow the sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them in a dryer or near direct heat sources, as this can warp the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and direct sunlight.
