Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Hender Scheme and adidas Originals Worked on a New ZX 500 Iteration

Hender Scheme and adidas Originals worked together on a new version of the signature ZX 500 sneaker model. The duo also worked on a selection of accessories to accompany the footwear style for this Fall/Winter 2018 season. There are two new versions of the ZX 500 sneakers, with the first one available in three colorway options and the second in two tonal options.

The first makeover boasts an upper constructed from premium leather materials in nude and has a finish that can develop an all-over patina with wear. The second version is made with a blend of two leather materials and an underlay of mesh textile. This is enclosed using a pull-cord system and over time, it developed a natural wrinkle finish.

The companion accessories include baseball caps, a shoe case made from neoprene and tote bags.
