Travelling is a thing again, though with restrictions and precautions still at the helm. Sightseeing has its joys, and we're taking somewhat of a trip with the Adidas LA. As many states, including LA still remain open for travelling, Adidas will release these kicks that set the mood and tone of the LA scene, even if you're not going there.

An LA themed release at the time would just be a reminder of the hardships of lockdown. But we're seeing somewhat better days, and state themed drops like the Adidas LA seems appropriate and timely.
The LA ZX 9000 model by Adidas and Offspring is taking flight soon, following it's predessor the "LDN to LA" pack that was released in 2019.
Their efforts bring us something that captures travel and personality. Let's take a look at the Adidas ZX 9000 LA.
The sneakers construction has a raw theme going on for the most part appearing on the toe box, heel, bordering the lace area. It's unrefined material is furher accentuated by orange threading on the uppers.
The turquoise coloring nods back to the original ZX 9000, while harmonizing with the darker blues on the design.

The soles show in detail a colorful map of Offsprings store locations.
Offsprings Adidas ZX 9000 LA will launch July 24th through offspring.co.uk.
