Though it’s been a long-standing tradition for some brands, 420 footwear has been a taboo subject for the Three Stripes. But back in 2019, adidas broke a few rules and gifted us a rare celebratory sneaker for international Mary J Day. And now, as the use of green is becoming more accepted the world over, the Three Stripes are looking to change their attitudes, too. For 4/20 in 2021, the brand will be releasing a special ganja-garbed adidas ZX 1000 “ZX 420” in celebration of the highest day of the year.
The classic trainer gears-up in grey and green mesh, while shaggy overlays of muted green roll from toe to tail. Perhaps a hint at the famed “Purple Haze” strain, the pair is popped with a handful of colorful hits at the liner, heel, midsole, and Three Stripe piping. Green leaf branding at the tongue completes the design — if only it was adapted to reefer leaf.
Though available at select retailers, it’s likely that the adidas ZX 1000 “ZX 420” will make a wider appearance on 4/20 via adidas.com and other stockists.
