ZX 8000

The ZX8000 also became a symbol of the fall of the Berlin Wall, when in 1989 East Berliners for the first time saw these colourful sneakers.
Despite the high price, they just had to have them. Thanks to its advantages, originally intended for improving the runner's performance, it has become popular with rave and technoculture. You could dance on ZX all night, and your legs didn't hurt. And this is where their subcultural history began to be written. The same phenomenon can be observed in England during the Summer of Love. In addition to comfortable, their playful colourways nailed the perfect festival outfit.

The history of adidas dates back to 1920 when its founder, Adolf Dassler, began crafting athletic shoes in his mother's laundry room in Herzogenaurach, Germany. Initially known as the "Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory," Adolf and his brother Rudolf worked together to create innovative footwear for athletes. Their shoes gained recognition for their quality and performance, leading to their first major breakthrough during the 1936 Olympics when American sprinter Jesse Owens won four gold medals while wearing their spikes. The 1970s marked another milestone for adidas with the release of the iconic Superstar sneaker, distinguished by its distinctive shell toe and leather upper. Throughout the years, the brand continued to innovate and collaborate with athletes, designers, and celebrities. In recent years, adidas has expanded its reach beyond sportswear, delving into lifestyle and fashion realms. The brand's commitment to sustainability has also been a key focus, with initiatives such as the "Adidas Better Place Program" aiming to reduce environmental impact through responsible manufacturing practices and recycled materials. Today, adidas stands as one of the world's leading sportswear brands, known for its innovation, style, and unwavering dedication to supporting athletes' performance. Models like Stan Smith or Superstar are some of the best-selling silhouettes ever. Currently, the adidas Samba or Campus are the most sought-after models. The brand also includes a sports branch called adidas Performance. The latter differs in both focus and logo.
