About 160X 6.0 Pro Scarpe da corsa
La 160X 6.0 Pro è una scarpa da corsa sviluppata per le gare di maratona. La scarpa pesa 171 grammi, riducendo il carico sostenuto dai runner sulle lunghe distanze. Una placca in carbonio ultraleggera combina fibre di poliimmide con otto strati di fibra di carbonio. Il design a punta divisa e il profilo dell'arco rialzato aumentano la flessibilità e la spinta dell'avampiede, mentre la parete laterale curvata verso l'interno migliora la stabilità all'atterraggio. L'intersuola è realizzata con la tecnologia Xtep Ace e con stampaggio a iniezione di schiuma, mentre il battistrada utilizza materiale CPU. La tomaia in jacquard è traspirante e avvolge il piede.

Meticulously enhancing every aspect through material and structural innovations, it is lighter, propels with greater efficiency, provides steadfast stability, and envelops feet in unparalleled comfort, pushing marathoners beyond their limits and reaching a new height of achievement.
- Project Duration
- The design and development of the 160X6.0 Pro started in May, 2023, in Xiamen, with an anticipated market launch set for August 2024.
- Operation Flow
- The carbon plate incorporates a split toe design and a raised arch contour, enhancing forefoot flexibility while also offering stronger propulsion. This synergy empowers marathoner to achieve their peak performance. Moreover, the carbon plate utilizes an inwardly up curved sidewall design to improve stability upon landing, and the heel to toe drop at the midsole is increased from 3mm to 5mm to boost rebound and shock absorption, assuring secure strides as marathoners as they push their limits.
