We’re starting July with a bang as five fantastic brand-new models join us this week, all with a vast array of colours and features. We start with both of the most recent Padiham colourways, fitted out with unusual tri-colour stripes. As well as that we’ve added two more ZX models and a consortium SL 72.

Tri-colour Padiham

It's very rare to see a three-stripe model contain different colours for each stripe, but both of the 'cycling masterclass' Padiham have just that. Taking inspiration from the colourful cycing jerseys of the 1970s, these Padiham both have suede uppers and velour stripes.

The Pink colourway Padiham has the usual gum sole, but the Spice Orange pair has the first ever white rubber midsole used on the Padiham model. Perhaps not everyone's favourite sole unit, the white adds something different and is a nice contrast to the range of colours used in the upper.

ZX 8000 Very much 'Out There'

One of the slightly more crazy designs of ZX 8000 (and that's saying something!), this model has a mix of camo and animal print around the shoe. The upper is made of a textile material rather than mesh/suede. The ridiculous lace pack on the right shoe is thankfully removeable with a bit of re-lacing.

ZX 420 Return

This burgundy pair of ZX 420 is the first of the 2021 models we've had in stock. Adidas have done a great re-creating the original from the 1980s, and all the main features return. The midsole is the same as the one used on the ZX 500, which is one of the more bulky EVA versions made.

And finally.. more Wales Bonner!

We've arguably saved the best til last here with these brilliant SL 72 X Wales Bonner. Part of the first collaboration between Adidas and the British Jamaican designer, these SL 72 use premium materials like a leather insole. Only a few sizes available and a massive £40 off retail!
