A Milestone Unveiling: ZX 8000 atmos URA

The ZX 8000 atmos series distinguishes itself through its distinctive design elements, most notably featuring the "GID-SNK (GLOW IN THE DARK-SNAKE)" pattern from the initial model. The snake-skin texture coupled with glow-in-the-dark materials alongside reflective parts creates a visual dynamism that has become a hallmark of this collaboration. This release, in particular, showcases the detailing in the upper that mimics the look of snakeskin, extending even to the outsole which is also equipped with a glow-in-the-dark feature.

Adding a nostalgic touch, the nylon mesh of the upper borrows details from the original ZX 8000 model. Inside, the phrase “I WANT, I CAN” is elegantly embossed on either side, a quote that resonates with the ethos of empowerment established during the original release of the ZX 8000 back in 1989. Furthermore, the insole sports a composite logo designed specifically for this release, ingeniously accompanied by a hidden message reflecting atmos's historical journey in the street fashion landscape.

An Artistic Collaboration

To amplify the excitement surrounding the ZX 8000 atmos URA launch, atmos has enlisted three talented hip-hop artists to produce exclusive tracks.

Each artist encapsulates the essence of atmos’s 25-year legacy and the theme of "温故知新" (learning from the past) as they weave contemporary narratives into their music, seamlessly connecting the cultural roots to future generations.
