adidas Consortium Consortium 'Classic Runners' Zxz

An abject lesson in giving the people what they want, while it would be cool if these were inline gems, plentiful in supply and a surprise on the shelves, we're stoked to see the Consortium line dropping gimmick-free bangers. the formula's simple - take some of adidas's most perfect silhouettes, then put some tried and tested makeups on them. The winner right here is the fine ZXZ - arguably one of the greatest to ever carry those late alphabet letters, given a Dublin-themed dose of colours and waterproof materials. The blue and orange can elevate most models, but here it works exceptionally well. You can hurl referential colourways at any shoe assuming they'll stick, but it still requires a spot of design savvy to make them work properly, and as with the 8000s from last week, these are a fine translation.
