adidas ZX 4000 4D “I Want, I Can”

14 . 09 . 19

The original marketing slogan for adidas’s ZX series upon its decades-ago debut was “I Want, I Can,” so to honor both the saying and the line itself, adidas has looked back to it for inspiration multiple times, the newest result of which is this ZX 4000 4D.

Themselves a compelling mix of classic Trefoil Brand style and new-age adidas Futurecraft tech, the most notable design detail on these adidas shoes is the bold alternate-colored text that graces the upper of each shoe, with the right foot reading “I WANT” in bright orange, while the left foot states “I CAN” in cool blue. Apart from the attention-demanding split statement, each foot also features small pops of orange and blue on their elegant grey Primeknit uppers. Retro style is then provided by suede overlays that offer embossed detailing on the medial midfoot, and the look is finalized by a signature mint green 4D-printed midsole and a traditional ZX-style outsole.
