Kawi’s made good on their relationship with Adidas by bringing yet another key unit to their footwear collection. 

Meet the ZX22: Adidas and Kawasaki’s newest silver trainer on the block, with pops o’ lime green, a neat straight mudguard, and a lean toward the conceptual vehicles of the future.

According to Kawi’s press release, these neat sneaks are an homage to a legacy that started back in 1984, when the (other) Bavarians came out with their very first ZX offering. 

2022’s ADIDAS ZX22 KAWASAKI sneakers may cost a tad more than 1984’s iconic ZX 510s (an underrated sneaker of the time), but the legacy is no less poignant – in fact, we think the ‘Ninja’ marker at the side profile adds to the aesthetic.

Expect these beauties to go for an MSRP of $200 USD, with availability coming in a stunning sizing range of 3.5-14 (depending on availability, of course).
