Adidas ZX Reviews

The Adidas ZX line originated in 1984 with the ZX500.  Originally, the brand intended for them to be performance running shoes.  These days, those early models make for some great retro releases!

We even get modern releases in the ZX series with pairs like the ZX Flux or those imbued with modern Boost technology.  I went on quite a binge copping modern retros of pairs like the ZX8000 when Adidas was blessing us with all types of colorways.

Turns out, I’ve owned a few different kinds of ZX, and have written several reviews on them.
