European sneaker culture is significantly different than the stateside variety. Sure, they still love Air Max 95s just like us, but they don’t have the same dedication to Jordans, and they’ve got a special place in their heart for the local sportswear giant, Germany’s adidas. For retail chain size?, adidas has always been at the center of its wheelhouse, with an endless run of exclusive drops and collabs.
Size Up
The size? Exclusive adidas Originals Archive ZX 8000 Pack features two OG colorways of the iconic ZX silhouette, one in the prototype debut Aqua makeup and another that takes after the German flag in red, yellow, and black. The Aqua ZX 8000 first hit shelves in 1989, and nearly 10 years later, the Germany pair is brought back from 1998.

On the Germany colorway, a red suede toe, lace, and heel panel match the red Three Stripes, while black fills in the toebox and side panels, and yellow accents pop throughout. The Aqua colorway covers most of the shoe in bright blue with purple and yellow accents.
