OVERKILL x adidas ZX 'The Missing Link' Pack Unveiled

OVERKILL and adidas Originals team up for 'The Missing Link': a pack of two ZX models that bridges the gap between the ZX series and the Equipment line.

The adidas ZX 8000 Overkill shares the stage with the brand-new adidas ZX 8094 Overkill, and the latter makes an instant statement: it's the very first release of this hybrid model. Both pairs arrive in the same White/Onix/Equipment Green colorway.

The premise is simple but strong: what if ZX and Equipment had come together back in 1994?

The ZX 8094 Overkill answers that question directly. It combines ZX tooling with elements from the EQT Support 91, including the signature TPU cage on the upper. The ZX 8000 takes the opposite route, applying the Equipment color palette to the familiar silhouette.

Both pairs share the same details: a custom Torsion design and OVERKILL branding on the heel, insole, tongue label and the Torsion bar on the midsole. Each box also includes two extra lace sets and co-branded lace tags.
