FAQs

What makes the ZX 8000 unique?

The ZX 8000 is unique for its ability to merge 1980s running shoe design with modern comfort technologies like the BOOST midsole and Torsion bar, while incorporating recycled materials in its construction.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While they have running origins, the ZX 8000 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. They offer good support and cushioning for walking and light jogging, but may not provide the specialized features of dedicated performance running shoes.

How much recycled content is in the upper?

The trainers feature 25% of the components used to make the upper made with a minimum of 50% recycled content.

How do I clean the BOOST midsole?

Clean the BOOST midsole with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution sparingly and wipe clean with a damp cloth.

What is the Torsion bar for?

The Torsion bar provides midfoot stability, allowing the forefoot and heel to move independently, which enhances support and a smoother stride.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and structure of the trainers.

What sizes are available?

The ZX 8000 is available in various adult sizes, including UK sizes like 3, 3.5, 5, 9.5, 10, 11, 11.5, and 12, catering to both men and women depending on the specific variant.

Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness upon first wear

This is normal for new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially, and they will become more flexible as they break in.

Traction issues on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole provides traction, performance on very wet or slippery surfaces can be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Discoloration on light-colored areas

Darker clothing or external elements can transfer color. Clean affected areas gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid prolonged contact with dark, non-colorfast materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility:

As footwear, they are compatible with most casual and athletic wear. They are designed for adult use.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Uppers: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and debris from the textile and synthetic materials. Avoid harsh detergents.
  • Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth.
  • Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  • Insoles: If removable, take out the insoles and clean them separately with a damp cloth. Ensure they are fully dry before reinserting.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain their shape and color.
