adidas Originals introduces a new iteration of the ZX 420 sneaker model that is entirely covered with cow prints for a playful option. The upper is crafted from pony hair materials to give it a textural touch and look. The color palette blends the hues of Core Black, Lush Red, and Cloud White for a strong contrast.
As a branding detail, the Three Stripes are done in a white and red TPU shiny material and there is also the Trefoil tongue tag at the top of the shoe. As a nod to Chinese New Year, the Year of the Ox is coming up and adidas celebrates that. This can be seen through the Lush Red embroidery and golden hoop as a symbol of the cow's nose.
