The new [Adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samba-sneaker-model) ZX800 sneakers are categorized as a casual shoe, but they look quite [chunky](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kith-and-adidas-1).

These sneakers mix three different popular styles together: runners, moccasins and boots. While they are obviously runners, there is [moccasin detailing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radlander-moc) and the shoe also extends to the ankle like a pair of booties. The Adidas ZX800 shoes can easily transition from the fall season into the winter.

**Implications** - The Adidas ZX800 sneakers are limited edition, so if you want a pair you better hurry! The casual shoes were made with a focus on "premium materials and production," as well as a focus on detail. The shoes would look great with a pair of jeans and would be warm enough for winter months.
