New Adidas Originals shoes ZX 5000 Torsion are made of yellow kevlar, a retro rebuilt.

Adidas launched the ZX series in 1984, and the German activewear giant’s retro Originals branch has kept its first-ever running-focused sneaker alive in its A-ZX range, most recently via the new ZX 5000 Torsion.
The jaw-dropping sneaker comes loaded with multiple custom lace options—pictured below in a yellow-specked black material that matches the heel counter’s windows—torsion lace jewels, and bright yellow sock liners.
The updated silhouettes feature an entirely radical yellow Kevlar upper sat atop a matching yellow midsole. It looks spectacular. The use of the high tensile-strength material is a tribute to the construction of torsion bars embedded in the original shoe’s treads, which provided midfoot stability.
This is the latest release in Adidas Originals’ heritage A-ZX lineup, which first brought 26 distinct sneaker drops for each letter of the alphabet in the late 2000s before the program was revamped in 2020.
