adidas has worked with designer Jacques Chassaing on a celebration of one of the most revered adidas footwear lines of all time, the ZX series. The latest result was the ZX 10000 C, which first fitting earlier in 2019 and instantly cemented the ZX’s enduring legacy. As the original designer of the ZX range, Jacques Chassaing brings his revolutionary approach to running footwear to the fore once more, while staying true to the aesthetics and technologies of the time.
This is most obvious in one of Chassaing’s crowning achievements, the adidas Torsion system. It is a technology that has continued to play a part in numerous adidas models over the past three decades, and one that appears in all its glory on the 10000 C. By using a TPU arch to bridge the heel and forefoot, it allows the front and rear of the foot to operate and adapt to surfaces independently, offering high degrees of support and stability.
