Looking to put their best foot forward, adidas Originals and Kawasaki celebrate the past, present and future with a pair of collaborative sneakers. Arriving on April 14th, the ZX8000 and ZX 5K BOOST Kawasaki sneakers are available globally (excluding China) through adidas stores, adidas.com and select retailers.
Taking cues from Kawasaki’s instantly recognizable design philosophy of motorcycle and color palette, the collaborative ZX8000 sneaker features a white kangaroo leather upper, with Kawasaki Green leather overlays, blue map suede accents, and a Kawasaki Ninja graphic on the lateral. Meanwhile, the ZX 5K BOOST boasts a black TPU overlay and eye stays, Kawasaki Green accents, a semi-transparent black ripstop vamp and a Ninja® logo on the toe-box.
Known for its inimitable aesthetic approach, Kawasaki’s ZX signature sportbike served as the inspiration for the adidas design team when they first introduced the original ZX500 sneaker in 1984. The latest generation ZX 5K BOOST Kawasaki kicks have a $160 MSRP.
