Last summer, the adidas Consortium division hooked up with several boutiques and retailers through their AZX Project. The large-scale collaboration promised one winner a chance to design their own pair of Adi Originals. The unknown winner of the competition, selected the ZX700 as a template, and created a shoe brimming with details. The model’s white upper is accented by orange shoe laces and features silhouettes of famous skylines and architecture from European cities rising up from the black midsole. The adidas Consortium AZX ZX700Y is available now at select accounts worldwide.
