Round Two’s Sean Wotherspoon teamed up with adidas once again in 2021 to release the adidas ZX8000 Sean Wotherspoon Super Earth. Wotherspoon and adidas started their Super Earth initiative in 2020, a project aimed at decreasing waste through pattern efficiency, recycled material selection, and vegan-first design. The first silhouette to have the Super Earth moniker was the adidas Superstar, and its design emphasized the beauty of vegan-friendly leather. As part of adidas’ A-ZX collection, Wotherspoon continued his upcycled philosophy and approach to sneakers with the ZX8000 model.
The adidas ZX8000 Sean Wotherspoon Super Earth is a collage of different upcycled textiles, each with its own distinct look and texture. The upper is composed of a mix of flannel, denim, and canvas, similar to the range of materials one would find in Wotherspoon’s Round Two Vintage stores. Green plaid flannel makes up the design’s toe wrap and heel tab, while brown and red canvases cover the vamp, side panels, eyestays, and heel. On the side panel, canvas Three Stripes branding overlaps white and neon green flower embroidery. Lastly, a clear heel unit, 'Super Earth' script on the tongue, and a cream Torsion sole round out this Earth-friendly design.
