Overkill x adidas ZX 8500

Set to be the latest installment to the brand’s A-ZX series, this release has adidas teaming up with Berlin-based retailer Overkill to release a special iteration of the ZX 8500. The release will represent the “O” in the series as the ZX 8500 is a hybrid model that fuses the ZX 8000 and ZX 9000.

The Overkill x adidas ZX 8500 comes dressed in a Neon Pink, Purple, Orange, Light Blue, and Hi-Vis Yellow color scheme inspired by the color palette of Montana Gold graffiti cans. The design is a nod to concrete sidewalks and construction of tristesse in Overkill’s Berlin home is a Neutral Grey hue on the mudguards. Other notable details includes a stitched “Overkill” on the toe box, along with “OK” branding throughout. Finishing touches includes 3M detailing as a nod to Berlin’s Chrome Bomber history and a Neon Green Torsion bar on the outsole. A unique feature on the sneaker is the shroud to protect the sneaker from paint drips while the wearer is out graffiti painting.
