Your #TheCrew Background Check

So this time the adidas A-ZX series takes us to the University of Miami in southern Florida. The college team, the Miami Hurricanes, should not go unmentioned here. Once again, sport is an important element in this ZX Drop. The colours of the university are reflected in the design of the new ZX 500 and this silhouette is also special.

The adidas ZX 5000 was first released in 1989. At that time as a running shoe for professional runners and recreational athletes. It stands out from other ZX models that were also launched at that time with a number of design elements. One of them is the Torsion Bar in the sole, which stands for perfect freedom of movement from back to forefoot. As well as the TPU elements on the heel, which provide extra support. We have the whole story of the adidas ZX family in this blog post for you.

University of Miami X adidas ZX 5000 'The U' - the Details

The new colorway is appropriately named 'The U'. The reference to its place in the ZX alphabet is further emphasised by a U stamped into the heel of the ZX 5000. In addition, the sneaker comes with a high-quality upper in white. Highlights are the coloured TPU elements on the heel, which are in the colours of the university!

In addition to the values and colours that the University of Miami represents here, the colours should also stand for fruits and leaves of the orange trees in Florida. The elements have a glossy metallic look, which makes the sneaker unique. The three stripes are also special, as they are not available in their familiar form! This gives the sneaker a completely different look than we are used to.

We're proud to announce: A super clean colorway with great highlights to honor the University of Miami. The leather upper comes with traditional mesh elements and is super comfortable. Now we have some nice pictures for you:
