The ZX 8000 atmos “URA” has arrived — marking the 10th chapter in the long-standing collaboration between atmos and adidas Originals, and celebrating atmos’ 25th anniversary. This milestone release takes inspiration from their very first ZX 8000 collab in 2010, famously known as the “AQUA.” Now flipped inside out with an inverted color scheme, the “URA” brings new energy while staying rooted in the past.

True to its legacy, the sneaker features the signature GLOW IN THE DARK-SNAKE (GID-SNK) detailing — a glow-in-the-dark snakeskin pattern that now even extends to the outsole. Design elements from the original ZX 8000 are preserved through the nylon mesh upper and reflective accents, while the inner lining proudly bears the iconic slogan “I WANT, I CAN.” Look closely and you’ll find a hidden message under the insole, a tribute to atmos’ journey and its deep connection with the ZX series and Ura-Harajuku street culture.

Taking the celebration further, atmos enlisted three hip-hop acts — Senninsho, itachi, and BIG FAF & me2 — to create original tracks inspired by the shoe. This fusion of music, history, and design reflects the launch theme “Onko Chishin,” which means “learning from the past to create the future.”

adidas Originals x atmos ZX 8000 "URA" will be available via Online Raffle (www.atmos-kl.com).
