Looking to transition to the colder months ahead, the new adidas ZX Flux sports a construction that's a little more likely to keep its wearer warm.
The brand does this by making it a mid-top that's finished off with a padded collar. Along with this, adidas supplies a pull tab so that the sneakers are easier to get on, as well as some synthetic touches that carry up the heel to ensure that the rest of the material is protected.
The uppers are marked by emerald that's diversified with a mesh-like pattern in black. The cushioning on the collar of the new adidas ZX Flux is in a lighter tone that complements the rest of the colorway, including the brand's classic three stripes that appear in a deep turquoise.
