adidas Originals introduces a new vibrant take on its ZX 8000 sneaker model and the ZX 9000 silhouette in time for the summer season. The brand nods to the 80s and 90s for design references as the ZX 8000 takes on a Germany color palette and the ZX 9000 is adorned in a Citrus colorway.
The first spotlights a blend of Bright Yellow with Core Black, and Red which is made from textile, suede, and mesh throughout the upper. It has a chunky shape and bright hues that are rounded out with Trefoil branding throughout. The ZX 9000 sees tones of Ash Silver, Pulse Yellow, and Acid Mint making up the colorway that can't be missed.
