Video Game-Themed Running Shoes

adidas Launches the Cyberpunk 2077 X9000L4 with Hi-Tech Details

— September 29, 2020 — Fashion
adidas Originals recently unveiled the Cyberpunk 2077 X9000L4 sneaker model, which as suggested by its namesake, is inspired by the video game. The collaborative work was officially debuted by solebyjc on Instagram, a sneaker insider with the news.

The silhouette is rooted in the brand's own X9000L4, which is a hi-tech model that is designed for the purpose of running. It is now detailed with floating triangular graphics with supportive makeup throughout to deliver function and style. The outsole has a treaded pattern that is influenced by computer generated data for a digital theme to translate throughout the entire silhouette. The patterning upper is also complete with additional branding accents reading both "Cyber" and "Punk."
