adidas ZX Flux Gets a Material Makeover

A more ventilated approach to the contemporary runner.

by Brendan Dunne

The adidas ZX Flux is undergoing another material flip in the form of these new Engineered Mesh versions.

The sneakers ditch the satin upper that was crucial in establishing the shoe as a graphic powerhouse, and instead feature a more straightforward mesh. Engineered Mesh that is–the upper's perforations are specifically placed to provide different levels of ventilation for different parts of the foot. The result of this new approach on the materials end is the lightest adidas ZX Flux yet.

The adidas ZX Flux "Engineered Mesh" pack will release on March 15.
