Yesterday we brought you images of the adidas Originals H3LIUM ZXZ Runner and all the packaging that came along with the runner for its media launch, but today, we wanted to focus solely on the sneaker itself. The model is based on the adidas ZX8000 runner, noted by the design of the outsole, and you can see the influence throughout the design. Another important factor in this design is that this all springs from the adidas Originals division of the brand. This brings an incredible back catalog of inspiring footwear into the fold which resulted in the comfort and stability of the runner. Combine this aspect with the brands current foray into superlight, yet functional, footwear, (i.e., adidas Crazy Light) and you have the right mixture for a performance runner that will not weigh you down. At present, we know that nine colorways of the model will be available at launch, December 26, with adidas offering up an early launch via shopadidas starting today.
