She's no Friday but there's still a lot to love about Monday!
Here's a roundup of cool newbies that have caught our eye over the weekend...
The new Adidas ZX 2K BOOST!
Adidas have spent the last few years experimenting with new levels of comfort, to bring the sneaker fiends of 2020 the next generation of ZX, in the form of the adidas ZX 2K Boost.
Fusing together technological advancements and cultural references to create something new, the first adidas ZX shoes made their debut in the '80s and stood out from the crowd with their fresh, progressive look and technical design. The ZX 2K Boost boasts everyday wearability with a twist.
The springy midsole and semi-translucent accents add a bold edge to your look, so you can walk confidently into the future.
