adidas Originals has announced a new addition to its popular ZX range, brining shoppers the ZX 2K Pure Silhouette.
The sneakers boast an intentionally cluttered design that comes from a combination of different elements, which includes a statement upper that's accented with an entwining lacing system, welded toe box, a BOOST midsole, TPU heel cage, and zagging heel. As usual, adidas' Three Stripe branding is featured prominently on the sides of the uppers as well, helping to supply the style with additional contrast at the same time.
adidas Originals' ZX 2K Pure Silhouette is available in four colorways online and from participating retailers. This includes sneakers in "core black/grey/orange, white/grey/orange, core white/grey/chalk white, and halo
amber/halo ivory/cream white."
