Like many adidas silhouettes, the ZX 8000 has remained a staple in sneaker culture since its introduction back in the '80s. After becoming popular with the rave scene due to its ultra-comfortable on-foot feel and distinctive design, which focused on using bright and bold colours, the ZX 8000 cemented itself in sneaker history as it was the first to use adidas' groundbreaking torsion technology, which was created to enhance the freedom of movement from the back to the forefoot as much as possible and also to provide additional support. The ZX 8000 would go on to inspire new silhouettes in adidas' legendary ZX series and remains one of the most sought-after sneakers around with brand-new colourways and collaborations continuing to emerge.
