Adidas Zx Flux Xenopeltis Snake 3m Reflective

The list of achievements by the adidas Originals ZX Flux has been nothing short of astounding, but the breakthrough sneaker isn’t stopping yet. Piling on top of the impressive print releases, the revolutionary #mizxflux, and the various iterations of the silhouette (NPS, Winter, etc.) is this new reflective upper material that shines like never before. Typical “reflective” materials merely shine a bright white, but adidas Originals has created this incredible new style that hits us with visuals we’ve yet to experience on a shoe. Inspired by the Xenopeltis snake, this new take on reflective uppers features an iridescent color-fade with vivid light. What’s more is that this “Xenopeltis Reflective” would look incredible on anything, so would you like to see adidas put this on other silhouettes and even apparel? Check out the exclusive photos and teaser video below (you’ll see the shoes without reflection) and stay tuned to Sneaker News for release info on this incredible development.
