adidas ZX 420 – The Running Original from 1988

The adidas ZX 420 is an essential gem within our Retro Sneakers Selection.

This silhouette is an absolute must-have for collectors who appreciate the heritage of the adidas Originals line.

Stickabush Fit-Guide: adidas ZX 420

Fit: The ZX 420 fits "True to Size".

Feel: Thanks to the mesh inserts, the shoe is flexible and offers a standard width in the forefoot area.
Sizing Recommendation: We recommend your standard adidas size. If you are between two sizes, the slightly more generous shape of the ZX 420 usually provides enough room in the smaller option.
Comfort: The triple-layer EVA sole provides a firm yet pleasant cushioning, typical for classic lifestyle sneaker icons.

Material Mix and Sustainability

The current version of the ZX 420 combines technical mesh with premium suede overlays. A special focus lies on the improved eco-balance: adidas uses recycled content derived from textile and household waste. This makes the sneaker a frontrunner in sustainable adidas footwear for both men and women.

Upper: Premium suede meets breathable mesh
Cushioning: Iconic triple-layer EVA midsole for a retro vibe
Lining: Soft textile lining for daily comfort
