With the ZX4000 4D in “Carbon” finally set to release, adidas Consortium has unveiled its latest ZX4000 collaboration. This time linking up with South Africa-based sneaker and streetwear store Shelflife, the sneaker is reworked with one subtle side hiding an eye catching medial-side pattern.

When viewed from the lateral side, the Shelflife x adidas Consortium ZX4000 showcases its upper constructed from luxurious grey nubuck and woven fabric — a reference to South Africa’s legacy of craftmanship. This understated side obscures the medial side of the shoe, which features a colorful jacquard-printed panel.

Shelflife’s collaboration with adidas Consortium is set to arrive on April 20, and will be priced at both $149.95 EUR and $149.95 USD.
