Adidas reveals its most technical hiking shoe yet

Crafted with safety and protection in mind, the Skychaser AX5 GORE-TEX is the next step for hikers and adventurers. Featuring a new internal construction, the sneaker includes two foam pads on both sides of the heel that keep your foot in place with comfort. A new lining has also been added around the heel to protect the shoe’s GORE-TEX from wear and tear. Inside, the shoe’s LIGHTMOTION midsole provides all-day cushion and response in any environment, thanks to its lightweight EVA foam. Crucial to the shoe’s design is the integration of the Continental rubber outsole, which features 4mm lug soles to provide maximum traction in both wet and dry conditions. The added GORE-TEX layer offers an extra layer of protection and resistance, ensuring your shoes remain intact throughout your adventures. The Skychaser AX5 GORE-TEX is available in six distinct colorways via Adidas’ webstore for $120.
