FAQs
What is Torsion technology?
Torsion technology is an adidas system designed to provide midfoot stability and arch support, allowing the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently for optimal surface adaptation and stability.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
While the ZX 8000 offers comfort and support, they are primarily designed as retro trainers for lifestyle wear and light athletic activities. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced cushioning and support systems are recommended.
How much recycled content is in the upper?
At least 25% of the components used to make the upper are made with a minimum of 50% recycled content.
What is the difference between the ZX 8000 and other ZX models?
The ZX 8000 is a foundational model from the original 1980s ZX series, known for its innovative Torsion system. Subsequent ZX models often build upon its legacy with updated materials and technologies.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, structure, and adhesives of the trainers. Hand-wash or spot-clean only.
What are the main color accents on this grey model?
This grey model features accents of 'Semi-Lucid Blue' and 'Lucid Pink'.
Troubleshooting
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. While designed for grip, extreme wet conditions may still pose a slipping hazard. Consider specialized footwear for very wet environments.
Shoes feel tighter than expected after initial wear.
The mesh and suede may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. If discomfort persists, consider if the sizing was appropriate or if a different size might be more suitable.
Suede appears dirty or matted.
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser or a mild suede cleaner can be used, followed by brushing.
