WITHOUT FLASH
FOOTPATROL ZX 800 - London’s Footpatrol crew knows the importance of the adidas ZX series and its relevance within UK sport and fashion. Taking the ZX 800 - a key model as their ‘F’ position in the A to ZX alphabet, the aqua blue, yellow and purple will immediately resonate with connoisseurs who remember the definitive ZX 8000 colourway. And where the ZX 800’s reflective forefoot patterns cemented the design’s appeal, here, all the blue of the upper shines in the right light, completed by a neoprene material application and a logo lace jewel for an intelligent moment of reflection on the shoe’s undeniable impact on UK subcultures.
