After having already presented us with some very nice collaborations this year, notably the Gel III designed with Atmos and Asics (article available HERE), Sean Wotherspoon stays on track and gives us a glimpse of his next project with the Germans from adidas. The famous founder of Round Two had briefly teased the back of a shoe in May on his Instagram account, in parallel to the Superstar revisited. The second part of this collaboration would be based on the esssential adidas ZX 8000 silhouette.
Additional information and design confirmation for this new collaborative pair was provided by the serious @py-rates account.
Sean Wotherspoon seems to have designed the adidas ZX 8000 in the same eco-friendly spirit as the Superstar, which he has transformed into the SuperEarth. The heel of this shoe is covered with a brick-red fabric that probably comes from recycling. The heel counter is replaced by a transparent insert that reveals threads of various colours, reminiscent of the reworked adidas Superstar. Another similarity is the blue and green logo on the heel, which combines the redesigned adidas branding with the SUPEREARTH name and Sean Wotherspoon’s initials. Above, we find a section featuring a warm, colourful plaid fabric. The front of the shoe seems to be adorned with unbleached panels and the whole is based on a matching sole.
The Sean Wotherspoon x adidas ZX 8000 is scheduled for release in February 2021 at selected retailers and on adidas.com for 140€.
We are just at the beginning of teasing, stay tuned !
