Adidas ZXZ “Jesse Owens” – Sneak Peak
This special ZXZ pays homeage to African American track and field Olympic athlete “Jesse Owens”. The ZXÂ family is the pinnacle of the Adidas running line, perhaps the most famous range of running shoes in the Adidas archive. This execution takes inspiration from Jesse Owens.
The Jesse Owens ZXZ features a winged foot logo along with a dark navy, white, and solid red make up. Matching clothing will also be available when the Jesse Owens ZXZ hits stores. This is just a sneak peak, and expect to see them at Adidas Originals stores in June for a retail of $100.
More info on Jesse Owens:Â
James Cleveland “Jesse” Owens (September 12, 1913 – March 31, 1980, aged 66) was an African American track and field athlete. He participated in the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany, where he achieved international fame by winning four gold medals: one each in the 100 meters, the 200 meters, the long jump, and as part of the 4×100 meter relay team. via Wikipedia
Everybody loves sneak peak’s right? Remember, you saw it on TSG 1st
They will release in June!
these are hot…they have that casual but sporty and street look…ZXZ’s are mad comfortable too
^I like a lot of stuff I see from Adidas, but people sleep on Adidas. The ZX line is like the Air Max for Adidas. If it ain’t Jordan, AF1, or Nike SB people don’t really care these days.So sad, but true.
Anyhow, it’s good to see Adidas paying homeage to a legend like Jesse Owens. The clothing collection is nice, track jacket/pants and tees. I guess since the 2008 Olympics is this year Adidas thought it would be dope to hook up this ZXZ for JO. Be on the lookout for more Olympic themed kicks from Adidas this year.
very very nice.
I rock Adidas just as much as Nike….I agree, most peeps don’t stray to far from their favorites. These are real nice….I’ll def buy these….colorway is bangin’ !!
I AGREE MOST PEOPLE DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ADIDAS VANS PUMA AND OTHER BRANDS JUST LIKE YOU SAID IN THE GREG STREET VIDEO. LIKE TOKYO MIKE SAID I WEAR ADIDAS TO. I THINK AGE HAS ALOT TO DO WITH IT G ROC. I’M 30 SO I CAN REMEMBER THE OLD SCHOOL ADIDAS DAYS. I LIKE THE MAN BEHIND THE SHOE AND THE COLORS.
Nice!

from the sneak peak these are good. but adidas is known for killin’ a shoe by over doing it. so hopefully they didnt kill it under the pant leg
Cody – I feel ya. I think age plays a huge factor on what type of sneakers people are into these days. At 25 I’ve seen a lot of brands over the years, some that are no longer around. I’m the if I like, I buy it type. Bottom line! I own New Balance, Vans, Adidas, Asics, Undr Crwn, etc and of course Nike. I understand Nike runs the game, but it’s ok if you want to buy another brand…it won’t hurt nothing. Try it people, it actually feels good.
Adidas should have released them this month for Black History month. Thankz for the sneak peak and these might get my money. I love who they represent.
Nice colorway and nice design
i cant see myself using these just for using, but deff could end up in my athletic closet…
Cody and G-Roc we gotta hold it down for the older cats lol!!! I do think age has alot to do with it…..I think being older, you just stop caring about impressing anyone, and you do whatever makes you happy….including straying away from the “popular” brands and mixing it up all the time with your shoe game.
colors are on point but i want to see more pics. good looking on the early look.
Need more looks
Great sneak peek
I need to holla at Jose or Dena at Lenox Mall
