With the Superstars taking most of the spotlight this year in its 50th anniversary, other silhouettes have been hiding in the shadows of the icons milestone. Enter the adidas ZX 8000, flying under the radar from the mainstream and quietly amassing an impressive catalog featuring some stand-out collaborations, now this latest duo is dropping with an in-season Spring aesthetic to bring a fresh change to its bold predecessors.
Both shoes share an identical construction; the upper features a medley of materials that includes leather, suede, mesh and 3M reflective panels on the toebox while lying at the shoe’s foundation ensuring a smooth ride is the famous ZX Torsion sole unit. Under the microscope first, dubbed “Vapour Pink” this addition to the ZX8k lineup is using a color palette that could be seen in a contemporary art gallery, soft pastels mixed with bolder standouts such as pink, blue, peach, orange, red, mint, soft yellow and rose gold that results in an eye-pleasing aesthetic., completing the pair is cream midsoles capped off with a black rubber outer sole. Last but definitely not least is “White/Turquoise“, using slightly fewer hues then its aforementioned sibling this predominately white shoe features purple, mint, turquoise, grey, soft yellow and orange over the myriad of textiles.
