adidas teams up with Berlin-based creative collective deadHYPE on this ZX 8000 sneaker, crossing the next letter off the A-ZX Pack’s alphabet. Exploring how social networking both cultivates and exposes underground subcultures, the pair take a techy approach to the runner, designing the upper in a shade of lilac inspired by rendering software. Darker violet leather and TPU panels add structured contours, and it’s reinforced with a steel toe cap that reveals with wear, to mirror the uncovering of once-elusive communities.
