160X 6 Pro Shoes

160X 6 Pro

The 160X 6.0 Pro is a running shoe developed for marathon races. The shoe weighs 171 grams, which reduces the load carried by runners over long distances. A lightweight carbon plate combines polyimide fibers with eight layers of carbon fiber. A split toe design and a raised arch contour add forefoot flexibility and propulsion, while an inwardly curved sidewall improves stability upon landing. The midsole is made with Xtep Ace technology and foam injection molding, and the outsole uses CPU material. The jacquard upper is breathable and wraps the foot.

160X 6 Pro Shoes by Long Zhang has been identified as a grand example of fashion design by the A' Design Award & Competition. 160X 6 Pro Shoes was awarded the Platinum A' Design Award in Footwear, Shoes and Boots Design in 2025.
