The mita x Offspring x adidas ZX 8000 "London to Tokyo" bridges nearly 14,000 kilometers through a greyscale masterpiece, proving that adidas Consortium's elite collaboration division can transform retail partnerships into cross-continental creative handshakes.

Design & Inspiration

After a quiet couple of years, adidas Consortium returns with a three-way collaboration uniting Tokyo's mita Sneakers and London's Offspring—two revered retail spaces with storied histories of outré collaborations that have never quite overlapped until now. The partnership emerged from their meeting at the 2023 adidas Consortium Cup, where they discovered a shared design philosophy that evolved from friendly competition to genuine friendship. The "London to Tokyo" concept embodies both grit and sophistication, drawing inspiration from defining elements of each city's urban environment. Grey premium hairy suede covers the toe, lace stays, heel, and lower side panels, representing the foggy skies of London and grey cement of Tokyo's streets, while grey mesh fills in the rest of the upper. Hard metallic silver accents appear on the middle lace eyelets and chrome heel cage—a salute to industry and innovation in both metropolises. Dark tones on the collar and outsole reference the nightlife across both cities. The adidas Consortium handshake logo is embroidered on the heel in red and blue outline, symbolizing not just the partnership between brand and stores, but the union between Offspring and mita themselves. A purple dragon motif at the heel nods to mita's Tokyo roots, while co-branded lace jewels and the famous mita chain-link fence graphic on the insoles underscore the collaborative spirit. Off-white appears on the Three Stripes, pull tab, and midsole, complemented by black midsole sections. Interchangeable laces and dubraes in yellow, white, and blue strings offer personalization options on every pair.

Comfort & Performance

Built on the legendary adidas ZX 8000 silhouette that debuted in the late 1980s as part of the cult-classic ZX series, this collaboration maintains the model's technical innovation merged with contemporary style. The combination of premium suede and mesh provides durability and breathability, while the proven ZX cushioning system ensures comfort for both casual wear and light activity.

The mita x Offspring x adidas ZX 8000 "London to Tokyo" releases October 25, 2025 with a retail price of $150 USD/£120/€140.
