Overkill is digging into adidas’ ZX archive for a release tied to one of the model’s less common early colorways. The upcoming ZX8000 “France” recreates the 1991 Made in France edition with a build that stays close to the original.

White ribbed mesh covers most of the upper, while off-white suede wraps the toe, eyestays, and lower side panels. Black Three Stripes add contrast through the midfoot, with aqua blue appearing underneath the branding, around the collar, and across much of the midsole. Silver accents near the heel add another period-correct detail.

Bright neon green shows up in smaller doses on the Torsion lace dubrae and the visible Torsion unit underfoot. A molded heel counter, black rubber outsole, and traditional ZX8000 tooling complete the retro runner.

The Overkill x adidas ZX8000 “France” will first release in-store at Overkill Berlin and Overkill Cologne. The online raffle closes August 2, followed by a release of any remaining pairs on August 2, 2026, at 2 PM local time.
