The new ZX800 sneaker from soccer superstar David Beckham and James Bond has arrived on the market. Before you scratch your head, I mean James Bond the founder of clothing store 'Undefeated,' not the spy.

These beautiful sneakers are done in [blue suede](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bodega-x-puma) with gray mesh on the sides, a low white top, highlighted in black around the exterior. Surprisingly the trademark three stripes from [Adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/predator-24-1) aren't present. Look for the David Beckham x James Bond ZX800 sneakers in selected retails.
