I do have to say, I really want some Adidas ZX8000 Aqua when they come out again. Iconic shoe IMHO.

I'm not sure even M1k3 would wear those!

It's a challenging shape...
Same, they remind me of the big chunky things you'd wear with calipers years ago.

Your man from Dundee Sole had them on his FB page and Instagram account a while back, quite hard to get a hold.

Yes, the prices are insane. I think Adidas would have another sellout on their hands. Fingers crossed…

I didn't know they did that.

Apparently the graphic (on the swoosh I assume) wears off. Not sure what is under that. Maybe a pink.

According to google, the off white turns to turquoise and copper.

Why I have no idea. And there are no pics either

The colour way as is looks great

Trying not to respond to the orthopaedic Burberry’s but have just failed in doing so!

Ah man may have to keep mine. Was going to send them back as not that comfy due to stiffness of the leather.

Are they actually leather or the synthetic stuff?

With the wear it is probably synthetic thinking about it, but it feels very stiff and not too comfortable to wear.

Will wear them more in the house and see if i can bed them in a little.

MrsRNP went to the Salford screening of this the other night (she does bespoke leather work). Might interest sneaker heads.

These are really nice, but I already have two Day of the Dead pairs. Not sure I can justify another.

If anyone wants mine (size 8) for cost plus shipping let me know. No idea if sold out so check before.

Mine will be going back in a few days as just can’t make them comfortable for me.

Got my Spzl last week, both amazing, the samoa for me is great really pleased I got them!

I dont really like runners but I have a weak spot for new york and ultratech. The new yorks are a fantastic shoe. I am the quality an finish has picked up since the last few drops!

I like and hate these at the same time.
They look very similar in design to my beloved fracaps. Old fashioned walking boot with the paras sawtooth sole.
But they are hideous abominations of the superstar.
