The legendary A - ZX series returns once again!

After last weeks Spezial extravaganza, we've got something similar cooking with the 2020 - 21 A - ZX series. Two of the new models we've had in previously and the other two are brand new for us. The letters we've got in are I, Q, R and U, let's dig in to that to see what it all means..

IRAK black are back

One of the pairs we've had in before are the slightly crazy ZX 8000 X IRAK GTX, in the black colourway. Featuring a vast array of colours, it's no surprise IRAK have links to the graffiti world over in New York. To top it all off the shoe has a lovely GoreTex lining to keep the toes nicely warm.

Q for Qualität

Next up on our A - ZX tour is the letter Q, which is another pair of ZX 8000. In stark contrast to the IRAK, this pair has a very clean white upper. Made with the best materials available, the model have been designed with German fashion experts Highsnobiety, which is shown with the labelling on the heel.

University inspired ZX 5000

Away from the ZX 8000, we've also added a pair of ZX 5000 from the A - ZX series. For the letter U, Adidas teamed up with long term partners in Miami: the University! The design features a crisp white upper and the prominent colours of the University across the heel cage. The green and orange derive from the Orange tree, which of course is iconic in the southern state of Florida.

And finally.. more 'R' for retro!

The second model we've had in before is the ZX 1000 C 'Retro', which was the first pair to be released in the entire collection! We've seen a whole host of ZX 1000 C colourways since, but nothing beats the original. Sizes are limited and unlikely to be restocked.
