adidas is readying for the warmer months ahead with the release of the 'ZX 8000 Frozen Lemonade,' which sees a revival of the label's 'Citrus' ZX colorway that first debuted in the late 1980s.
The playfully designed sneakers add a bold retro flair to any look, with alternating hues of lime green and lemon yellow featured all over the uppers. The citrus theme is also prominent on the translucent rubber lace jewels, ice cube-printed sock liners, and matching green and yellow lace options. adidas even extends the citrusy chilled drink theme to the insoles of the sneakers with the inclusion of a full frozen lemonade recipe.
The adidas ZX 8000 Frozen Lemonade silhouette launches globally on January 29th.
