Detailed evaluation of the 2nd “Human Race” shoe model through the Sample version

If the first “Human Race” NMD version is a gentle innovation of Pharrell Williams for the NMD product line, then in this second version is a completely different improvement. A very interesting new perspective for this cult product line.

Fortunately to receive 2 Sample products, EACHSHOES would like to send you a detailed evaluation for this product line before planning to collect this shoe model for your shoe cabinet. Let’s go through the outstanding details below.

Before going into the detailed assessment, EACHSHOES wants to reiterate that this is a shoe model that is considered by many websites as the new Stan Smith PR line inheriting the NMD characteristics. So that’s why we compare it with the first NMD sample in this article.

Upper:

Same:

Similar to the high-end NMD lines, or most correlatively, the first “Human Race” NMD version, this Sample version also uses adidas’ current most advanced textile technology, Primeknit.

There are not many changes on this fabric like the changes of Ultra Boost 1.0, 2.0 or 3.0 versions, so the feeling when inserted is still the usual softness, plus the textures are woven. It will definitely bring the most comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Difference:

Completely remove the plastic frame in the Mudgard, so as soon as you insert your feet you will feel completely comfortable without feeling forced inside. However, this will become a weakness without any support and hug, making injuries more likely to occur if you use this shoe on vigorous activities.

Because of the disappearance of the frame, the eyelets will be stitched into the center of the shoe body, which makes this new PR version more casual and no longer has the same features as the NMD PR.

On this Sample version, the reed part of the product is embroidered higher to help compensate for the covering of the ankle, here we can also see the difference when the tongue is attached with a leather tag with the logo “Trefoil”. and “Hu” is very beautiful.

On the rear heel of the product, the heel-tab is also larger, and EACHSHOES commented that this change brings a much higher aesthetic than the heel of the NMD model.

Insole:

This PR shoe uses a thin and soft lining, which is different from the laminated lining on NMD models. Partly because this shoe does not use the Boost sole, the adidas also doesn’t need to use a fabric lining to show off the Boost inside.

As mentioned above, since the removal of the frame completely results in no ankle protection, the adidas heel layer has added a thin leather padding on the heel. Not only is the footstroke lighter, but it also feels soft and smooth in the heels.

Outsole:

Removing the Boost substrate completely, but the experience is completely correlated, and although somewhat inferior to the Boost buffer, EACHSHOES would like to say that this is a Bounce base type – one of the technology of adidas very strong return.

It is this removal that brings a new experience much softer than the Boost version – super light, and super smooth is the advantage of this new shoe model. feel the familiar feeling of heavy Foam soles typical of old German sports shoes. Although the dress is not heavy, but very elegant, plus a familiar feeling but improved in smoothness, you should definitely not miss out if you are looking for a performance Casual shoe. good.

After many times of use, EACHSHOES also noticed another improvement that the wrinkles of this Foam layer were very little, only a few very small lines in the deep triangular pattern of the sole. Other Foam soles are not available, for example Zx Flux – Tubular – Los Angeles … are quickly wrinkled at first use.

SUMMARY

For EACHSHOES, in terms of performance alone, this is a must-have shoe if you are a sneakerhead that favors collecting lightweight sports shoes. However, in the aesthetic part, we do not appreciate the sole of the product, because the base layer is quite coarse and has no curvature, along with the combination on the fabric layer brings a different appearance.

Similar to some other products of adidas, this design when on-feet is more beautiful and very flattering. And this is just the Sample version, so there will definitely be many changes at the official launch, so please always follow the news at EACHSHOES for a more detailed look.
