LIMITEDITIONS 450 – Barcelona’s leading sneaker and clothing boutique, the appropriately named LimitEDitions take this project’s ‘E’ with relish, using the ZX 450 as a basis and giving it a makeup that’s at once contemporary and respectful of classic adidas styling. Purple and black nylon and suede blend, with glossy fluorescent yellow stripes on the outer foot, and fluorescent green stripes on the inner foot for a subtle twist. Completed with tone-on-tone logo embroidery on the heel, and more black-on-black applications, via the reflective panel on the forefoot and arched panel on the heel. Extreme detail for a deceptively simple reworking, this is a definitive take on a classic silhouette.
HUF ZX 500 – As the ‘H’ in this collaborative project, San Franciso’s HUF pay tribute to their city’s railroad history with a canvas upper that homages the hickory striped uniform of the railway worker. Far from workmanlike, this intelligent conceptual approach goes the distance in terms of detail, from the brass eyelets, branded ghilly lacing system and tipped laces, to the all-over lettering on the tongue, completed by a gum outsole. A bold move that pays dividends, the shoe is packaged with a matching striped drawstring bag embellished by six brass badges, making for another classic from a store that truly overstands the collaborative shoe process.
