adidas Overkill x ZX 8500 'A-ZX Series'

About this shoe

adidas continues their A-ZX series with their Overkill collaboration. The two entities are no stranger to each other, as the EU sneaker boutique has partnered with the Three Stripes on multiple occasions, most notably their 2019 If ZX 10,000C If I Can I Will project. In 2021, Overkill dropped their most colorful release yet, highlighting Stockholm’s love for graffiti. The adidas ZX 8500 Overkill merges the ZX 8000 and 9000 models together, creating a brand new hybrid for the Three Stripes. The new amalgamation is introduced featuring a plethora of neon-colored accents featured on top of the upper’s Crystal White base. A black embroidered "Overkill" appears on the toe box, while Overkill’s logo is merged with a Fire Hazard symbol, resembling what is usually seen on spray cans. The most eye-catching design choice is the addition of multiple overshoes in a variety of matching neon colors to protect the shoes from paint splatter if one were to wear them while tagging walls. The adidas ZX 8500 Overkill released in April of 2021 for $140.
