We all had a hunch that Pharrell William’s latest rendition of the Human Race NMD would be slow moving, but not this lethargic. At the time of writing, we scouted out Isetan The Japan Store to hunt for some Y-3 Kaiwas, and stumbled upon the whole Solarhu pack, sitting pretty on the display table.
It is a bit odd however, as previous iterations of the Hu NMD fetch a ridiculously high price, with the original line up of solid colours going for at least RM 4000 per pair, with the special F&F colourway packing about RM 40,000 worth of value approximately. Adidas Originals stores too still have them on shelves, as well as major online retailers all around the globe. Several readers reported that a full size run is still available in Adidas Czechoslovakia, which speaks about the hype of the shoe, or lack-there-of.

Regardless, the Hu NMD is still a very comfortable shoe, comprised of a one piece Primeknit upper, Boost midsole, EVA plugs, as well as wraparound laces. The outsole is now thicker and can sustain a bit more wear, thanks to a trail-inspired tread pattern instead of the normal flat design that is usually employed on NMDs. The Solarhu pack retails for around RM 1050 with the Tennis Hu versions going for RM 650.
