Chinese sports footwear and apparel brand Xtep has launched new running shoes in its 160X line, the 160X 6.0 PRO and 160X 6.0 MONXTER.

It said feedback from professional runners, including marathon specialists, have shared insights and details of their experience of wearing earlier versions of the 160X shoes to help the company create these new versions.

They have at their core an upgraded version of the company’s proprietary GT700 carbon fibre plate technology.

Chief executive, Ding Shui Po, said: “Xtep is deeply committed to the running sector, and is continuously iterating professional running shoe products.”
