The adidas ZX 8000 Made in Germany returns with a festive twist. The new Grey Two pair (KZ8466) mixes grey leather with teal and red details and releases in Europe on December 4, 2026, just in time for the holidays.
Grey Two leather with holiday colors
Grey Two leather overlays sit on top of the mesh base and give the runner a cleaner, more premium feel than a regular ZX 8000. The Three Stripes are made from twill in Preloved Teal with thin red accents, and a red leather lining continues the theme inside the shoe. A brown leather hangtag marks the pair as Made in Germany. Red and green together make it a fitting pick for the Christmas season.
Part of the Made in Germany line
Made in Germany is the premium line of adidas Originals, produced in Germany with upgraded materials. The ZX 8000 has been a regular in the series, with earlier pairs like the ZX 8000 Made in Germany Semi Frozen Lemon and Wonder Quartz and the ZX 8000 Made in Germany Lucid Pink and Green.
The adidas ZX 8000 story
The ZX 8000 first came out in 1989 as the first adidas shoe with the Torsion System, a support bar under the midfoot that lets the front and rear of the foot move independently. In the same year, the Berlin Wall fell. With its loud original colorways, the ZX 8000 became a symbol of Western technology and fashion, and it is still a cult shoe in the Berlin club scene today.
The model keeps coming back in collaborations and special editions, from the Overkill x adidas Consortium ZX 8000 The Missing Link to the regular ZX 8000 Grey Two, which uses a different color mix and style code.
