adidas Consortium ZX 420 Quotoole Dropping November 15, 2014 thegoodwillout In conjunction with the Quote’s Archive project, adidas sneaker collector Quote and UK illustrator Peter O’Toole were given the opportunity to makeover an archive shoe, both being enticed by the zx420 for different reasons. Collaborating entirely online, the pair did not meet until the final sample was produced, but the long-distance design process seems to have paid off. With numerous panels to play with, the zx420 offered numerous opportunities to experiment with colours and tones, but in the end their inspiration was taken from a particular pair of vintage adidas Denver from Quote’s collection. A high quality pale blue soft suede overlay sits on iconic mesh in darker shades of blue, whilst red colour blocking on the midsole and along the 3-Stripes add a pop of colour. Purple and magenta feature on the tongue and ankle padding respectively, and a subtly vintage cream midsole give the shoe a classic 80s runner feel. Each designers imprint is present, with their faces featured on the Endorsed by fabric label under the tongue, and a motif sock-liner design, utilising Quotes fist logo and OTooles typographic namesake. adidas Originals #adidasoriginals #consortium #quotoole
