The adidas ZX 8000 IRAK Grey is a collaboration between adidas and IRAK, a legendary graffiti crew based in New York City, celebrating the downtown hustle culture. The ZX 8000 sneaker features a grey GORE-TEX upper with overlays of black suede, accents of red, and semi-solar lime. The shoe’s mudguard extends to the midfoot, with part of the eyestay in red suede displaying 'IRAK 2020' in black on the lateral. Black quarters are complemented by a grey 3-Stripe GORE-TEX cage overlay. Semi-solar lime laces run through punched eyelets, finishing with a black rubber sole, heel counter, and sock lining. Our experts praise the bold colorway and the thoughtful mapping of the design. Released on September 4, 2020 for $180. The IRAK x adidas ZX 8000 GTX ‘A-ZX Series - Black’ is part of the A-ZX series, showcasing 26 unique collaborations. It replicates the distinctive color blocking from the 2008 collaboration with updated waterproof Gore-Tex protection, featuring 'IRAK 2020' on the lateral forefoot.
