adidas Originals ZX 700 – Power Blue – Green Blend

The simple fact is, while we still have an almost infinite amount of technical innovation ahead of us, certain things about the sneaker industry are almost set in stone by this point in history.  For example, even in the craziest Jeremy Scott or Y-3 releases, the shape of any sneaker is still going to reflect our natural anatomy.  And because of the fact that we’ve seen so many recognizeable designs over the past couple decades, it seems like the majority of palatable color combos have been utilized and given a nickname.  But then you see something like the adidas Originals ZX 700, a familiar silhouette with a palette so unique, it makes you realize there’s still plenty of real estate left on the color wheel.  These really just employ your basic ‘Microsoft/Google/eBay’ color scheme, but the subtle tweaks to each of the primary colors plus a pinch of purple gives these a simultaneously rustic and vibrant feel.  Solid if not outstanding for a general release, you’ll find these at select adidas Originals accounts like SNS
