XTEP 360X, a pair of running shoe, excels in stability, comfort, energy efficiency and propulsion, aiming to satisfy the everyday wear needs of marathon beginners and Asians.
The midsole adopts innovative XTEP ACE technology and PISA supercritical foaming technology, which improves shock absorption by 3.7% to significantly reduce the landing impact force for knee protection. The outsole, made of the upgraded T400 special-shaped carbon plate with a bifurcated design, not only increases landing stability by 4.2% to effectively safeguard the feet, but also elevates propulsion performance by 17%, making it easier for users to exercise and helping them sticking to running. Additionally, taking ankle protection into account, XTEP 360X uses thick foam padding around the heel, thereby minimizing the risk of ankle sprains.
To well fit the feet of Asians, the design team redesigned the shoe last. As a result, 360X boasts a wider front part in the midsole and a raised upper, which can greatly enhance the user experience. Moreover, a soft, breathable eighteen-needle flyknit upper is applied to prevent heat accumulation inside the shoe, further improving wearing comfort for runners.
