In 2016, adidas collaborated with A Bathing Ape (BAPE) to unveil two of the rarest NMD R1 sneakers ever released: The Bape x NMD_R1 'Olive' and 'Black' colorways. The sneakers debuted and quickly sold out at select adidas Originals flagship stores and BAPE retailers. The black colorway integrates BAPE’s murky black camouflage into the old-school inspired NMD R1 design.
