adidas ZX 8000 Pokémon Mewtwo

The adidas ZX 8000 Pokémon Mewtwo with style code KI5326 translates one of the most iconic Pokémon onto adidas' technical ZX silhouette. The ZX 8000 arrived in 1988 as the flagship of the ZX running line and was among the first adidas shoes to use the Torsion system, which let the forefoot and heel move independently. That technical character makes it a logical match for Mewtwo, with a palette built entirely around purple and lilac.

Colorway: Ice Lavender / Violet Fusion / Bliss Lilac

The adidas ZX 8000 Pokémon Mewtwo is layered from mesh and suede in Ice Lavender, Violet Fusion and Bliss Lilac. Those three tones run in bands across the upper, keeping the layered panel construction the ZX line is known for clearly readable. The Three Stripes on the sidewall and the overlays around the eyestays pick up the deepest purple and give the silhouette its structure. Pokémon branding on the tongue and heel confirms the collaboration. Underfoot sits the signature ZX midsole with its exposed Torsion bar, finished in a contrasting tone that pushes the technical look of the KI5326 further.

How does the adidas ZX 8000 Pokémon Mewtwo fit?

The adidas ZX 8000 generally fits true to size, so your regular adidas size is usually right. The mesh upper is supple and wraps comfortably at a fairly standard width. If you have wider feet or sit between two sizes, half a size up on the KI5326 adds room across the forefoot.
