Powered by the past but going full throttle in the future, dive into your sneaker collection right now and rock those adidas NMDs with pride, because they're back, baby, and they're not going anywhere any time soon.

The name "NMD" stands for "nomad" which the company says was the inspiration for the shoe. Adidas wanted to create a shoe for someone who was always on the move and a global traveler; the shoe debuted in New York City.

Look on the underside of the shoe's tongue for a white label. Beneath the sizing information, real shoes have the intended gender of the wearer—either Male or Female—listed in both English and French as the shoes are made in Vietnam. Fake NMD shoes often skip the gender and simply list the model number.

The NMD was one of the most disruptive silhouettes that sneaker culture has ever seen, though its hype has cooled off considerably since then .
