adidas Originals adds another bold sneaker to this year’s A-ZX line-up with the ZX 8000 Superstar silhouette. Coinciding with the brand’s 50 years of Superstar celebration, the release sees the German Sportswear brand dress up the ZX 8000 silhouette with a tromp l’oeil print reproducing the iconic Superstar’s shell toe. Representing the letter ‘S’, this special makeup of the ZX 8000 model blends elements of two iconic styles for a unique celebration of adidas’ sneaker history.

So what does it look like? Championing the storied history of two iconic silhouettes, the ZX 8000 Superstar sneaker features a leather upper with a digitally printed overlay image of the original shell-toe sneaker. Taking the homage to the Superstar style even further, the striking sneaker then swaps out the customary ZX 8000 toe box for the instantly recognizable shell-toe.
