"Qu" Stands for Highsnobiety x adidas ZX 8000 "Qualität"

Soon, the last sneaker of the massive adidas A-ZX series will be released, but before the final sneaker is unveiled, we take a look at a new collaboration from adidas. For the next iteration, the Herzogenaurach-based brand is teaming up with Highsnobiety, a streetwear blog from Berlin that was founded in 2005.

The two German labels have opted for a clean ZX 8000, but don't expect simple sneakers with boring materials now. The collaborative model with the colourway "Chalk White/Crystal White/Chalk White" has an elegant finish.

A look at the sides already reveals the high-quality construction. The Three stripes, eyestays, and other important elements are made of leather. Even the typical neon green Torsion lace locks have been replaced by HS brandings made of leather. You'll also find more co-branding on the heels and on the recyclable cork insoles, while the tongues have been stripped of all detail. Finally, tan outsoles and white midsoles then serve as the finishing touch to the Highsnobiety and adidas collaboration.

The sneakers have not yet been scheduled at adidas, but according to Highsnobiety, the ZX 8000 "Quality" drops at the Highsnobiety Shop on April 23rd for 140€.
