Having debuted in the late ‘80s as a trusty running silhouette, the adidas ZX 500 has, more recently, evolved to become more at home within the lifestyle sector.

Still cherished by zealous runners, along with a flock of younger fans now, the shoe holds onto its old-school quality with a heap of heritage design cues stationed throughout. Mesh and nubuck intertwine across the upper in a distinctive retro rendering while bold branding at the tongue, sidewall and heel supplies that signature adi’ aesthetic we all know and love. An EVA midsole makes for a superbly smooth ride underfoot.
