adidas’ Consortium sector has been on fire with their releases this year. This month, boutique Commonwealth has given the ZX500 RM a clean new update themed after the ocean.


The adidas ZX500 first released in 1984 as the brand’s offering for high-mileage running. The shoe became immensely popular due to its performance and comfort and has now become a beloved Originals silhouette in the modern era. The last time we saw the ZX500, the shoe was true to the original, a collector’s dream. This time around though, adidas is bringing the 80’s cult classic into the future with their beaded Boost technology. While the updated silhouette has released in a wide range of colorways and collaborations this year, this month marks the first time it goes under the knife of the adidas Consortium sector.

Teaming up with Commonwealth for a second time, adidas has crafted a premium iteration of the ZX500 in a friends & family exclusive colorway. The upper begins with a purple mesh upper with embroidered Three Stripe markings. The outer paneling layers are made up of smooth navy blue suede, using a welded TPU in white to secure them instead of standard stitching. Finally, the heel tab features embroidered white starfish, mimicking the ocean theme of their initial ZX500 RM release.
