With [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snakeskin-colorway-2) releasing a series of runners, it's only reasonable that adidas strikes back with the new 'atmos x adidas' Originals ZX8000 sneakers.

Although adidas has been busy releasing casual and basketball style footwear, their attention to runners hasn't been lost yet. A while back, the brand announced the launch of the [Adizero Feather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adizero-evo-sl), and now they're coming out with the atmos x adidas Originals ZX8000. The sneaker has been given a vibrant touch with a bright aqua upper accented by yellow in certain areas of the sneaker. Look closer and you'll find a [snakeskin pattern](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/year-of-the-snake) which actually glow in the dark; this will certainly make running at night a lot safer.

The atmos x adidas Originals ZX8000 should make a good pair of shoes for anyone looking for trainers that combine style and high performance.
