The adidas ZX 7000 Tubular Runner takes its inspiration from inner tube tires, resulting in a unique construction featuring a hollowed-out core that extends throughout the outsole. This design not only reduces weight but also enhances comfort with each stride. Originally introduced by designer Nic Galway and his team in late 2014, this updated version of the classic shoe showcases a blend of premium leather and suede materials, elevating its retro-inspired appearance. The synthetic body of the Tubular Runner allows for breathability, while the integrated tongue ensures a flexible and snug fit similar to that of a slipper. Furthermore, the midfoot TPU eyestays contribute to a secure and tailored feel, securing the foot in place.
