The 6-Piece LEGO x adidas ZX 8000 Collection Releases On May 7th

The ultra-customizable LEGO Ultra Boost DNA featuring LEGO plates as side stripes has been one of the most creative releases yet by the multi-year partnership between the shoe and toy manufacturers. Playtime continues as the pair prepares to drop six new colorways of the adidas ZX 8000, inspired by classic bricks in six primary colors.

As announced by 43einhalb, the ZX 8000 pack consists of each style adopting one of the standard LEGO brick shades. Plastic eyelets and the lace dubrae have been modified to imitate LEGO pieces while the heel uses a studded design that mimics the bumpy surface of the toy bricks. Even the box is designed to look like a single, oversized toy piece. The Torsion-cushioned silhouette also nods at the Danish company itself by accenting the side stripes with the brand’s signature yellow and white. As a finishing touch, the customary adidas trefoil tongue label has been swapped out for a red one showcasing the LEGO logo.

All six pairs of the adidas ZX 8000 x LEGO will drop at select retailers such as 43einhalb on April 23rd in full-family sizing, with more details on an adidas.com drop yet to be announced. A US release date is confirmed for May 7th.

Updated April 29th, 2021: adidas US will release the entire collection on May 7th at 10am ET.
