The adidas brand has many divisions and sub-brands in its broad portfolio dedicated to different sporting activities. One of these is the adidas Terrex brand, which the global sports market leader from Herzogenaurach introduced in 2007 to fully enter the world of trail running and other sports activities that can be performed primarily in the mountains. And it was a very timeless decision, because especially then, with the global pandemic of COVID-19, more and more people started to find a love for running in the woods in more and more unexplored places.
However, the roots of the adidas Terrex go back much deeper. The first product designed for extreme sports practiced in the mountains was a mountaineering shoe for the discipline’s greatest legend – Reinhold Messner, the first climber to scale Mount Everest without using an oxygen bomb. We’re talking about the 1970s, so there’s no doubt that adidas was just riding some trendy wave, but instead, mountain sports have always been in the brand’s DNA.
Over the years, products from the adidas Terrex range have found fans among sports enthusiasts and lifestyle customers alike, as they too can appreciate the functionality of these highly sophisticated sneakers, clothing, and accessories. That’s why you’ll find the adidas Terrex in Footshop. And just like other products from our curated Footshop Active selection, we’ve chosen adidas Terrex products to bring out the best in urban explorers and seasoned hikers alike. Our adidas Terrex range stands on three main pillars, let’s go through them one by one.
adidas Free Hiker
Over its nearly two-decade history, adidas Terrex has shaped the most popular silhouette of the adidas Free Hiker sneaker. These are very versatile sneakers that can be used for light to moderate mountain hikes as well as running in more challenging mountain conditions. The biggest added value of these sneakers is the midsole with adidas Boost technology, which needs no introduction to all sneakerheads. Thus, the adidas Boost technology makes the adidas Free Hiker undoubtedly one of the most comfortable mountain sneakers on the market that you can rely on for many hours of hiking. adidas Free Hiker are available in several colorways. The adidas Free Hiker 2 Low is recommended for lighter and medium hikes, especially during the summer. The adidas Free Hiker 2 High, on the other hand, are suitable for more challenging terrain where you’ll appreciate more stability support. The GTX in the model name refers to the Gore-Tex technology, which guarantees the waterproofness of the shoes.
adidas Agravic 3
With the growing trend of trail running, it was more than logical that adidas Terrex would specialize more and more in sneakers for running on the most challenging terrains. The current result of this development is the adidas Terrex Agravic 3, which is one of the best trail running sneakers on the market. This is a very versatile running shoe model that guarantees extreme comfort thanks to the Lightstrike EVA foam, while the Continental outsole ensures perfect grip.
Stella McCartney and other products
The final third of our adidas Terrex product range belongs to the pieces from the collaboration between adidas Terrex and Stella McCartney, which perfectly complements our selection of more high fashion pieces that will turn heads both in mountain resorts and at fashion week.
You shouldn’t miss the highly sophisticated bags and backpacks that you’ll appreciate for day hikes and mountain passes. The most versatile piece is the adidas Terrex Trail Running vest, which provides long-distance runners with two soft bottles and plenty of pockets for bars, gels, and other odds and ends on long runs. But equally, this vest slash backpack can be worn on long hikes if you just want to carry water and a few odds and ends. And last but not least, of course, you can also reach for technical clothing, which is logically designed for both harsh mountain conditions and urban jungle.
