Gift giving is more of a Christmas tradition than New Year’s, but we did indeed recieve a gift from adidas Originals shortly after the calendar flipped to 2012 in the form of a ZX 8000 preview for later this year that’s on par with Three Stripes’ best in-house designs in recent memory. It turns out that we’ll be getting not one but (at least) two adidas Originals ZX 8000s done in that style for the second half of the year, and htis new tonal blue revelation has the same premium feel thanks to rich suede on the upper along with stately caramel brown leather accents. These share the same white/black midsole/outsole setup and will hit retailers for the fall/winter season, so be sure to check back with Sneaker News for word on their availability. via EUkicks
