The ZX running shoe is an icon and understandably so. The footwear boasts the Torsion System — a footwear technology that has been an active part in adidas' offerings for three decades. It bridges the heel and forefoot which, in turn, makes the shoe easily adaptable to different terrains, while offering an unparallel degree of support and stability.
The brand celebrates the Torsion System with a four-piece release of its iconic ZX running shoe. The iterations include the ZX 5000, the ZX 6000, the ZX 7000, and the ZX 9000. Each model satisfies a slightly different style of running, making it possible for individuals to select the best possible footwear for their preferred style of exercise.
