Sustainable Versatile Hiking Shoes

The adidas TERREX Free Hiker 2 Sneakers are Ready for Adventure

— October 19, 2022 — Eco
As the colder season is upon us, the adidas TERREX Free Rider 2 sneaker model launches to combat the terrains of hiking and all-day wearing. It boasts lightweight sensibilities and supports the foot through trekking across rocks, sand, and other surfaces whilst providing waterproof and grippy features.

Additional details include the cushioned base foundation and the airy feel with the help of the Boost technology that provides an energy return with each step. The grippy traction sole unit is made from Continental rubber and has been tested with abrasion-resistance reinforcement. Notably, the shoe is also coated in a GORE-TEX membrane iteration that helps with breathability, waterproof sensibilities, and other weatherproof capabilities to round out the shoes.
