Xtep 160X 6.0 Pro "Digital Pink / White" 975118110041 — Women's Tier-One Carbon-Plated Marathon Racing Shoe

The Xtep 160X 6.0 Pro 975118110041 in Digital Pink / White is Xtep's tier-one carbon-plated marathon racing super-shoe scaled specifically for competitive female runners. Debuting publicly around the Paris Olympics, this flagship silhouette is optimized for sub-3-hour marathoners targeting maximum running economy, rapid stride turnover, and high muscle protection across a full 42.195-kilometer course. The gradient aesthetic softly fuses a vibrant Digital Pink base across the midfoot and heel counter with a clean Classic White overlay along the toe box — with a translucent upper that lets the structural interior layout peek through elegantly.

🏃 Design Concept

• Gradient Aesthetic — Vibrant Digital Pink across the midfoot and heel counter with a clean Classic White toe box overlay. Translucent upper reveals the structural interior layout.
• Volumetric Optimization — Streamlined racing last stripped of all non-essential weight, resulting in an ultra-lean ~165g–175g (size-dependent) chassis.
• Biomechanical Lean — Aggressive forefoot rocker profile with a fine-tuned 5mm drop that keeps feet structurally biased toward forward momentum at all times.

⚙️ Performance Breakdown

• Shot-Molded XTEP ACE Midsole — Premium supercritical nitrogen matrix generating a massive 88% energy return rate, restricting cushioning packing out to under 3% across high-mileage events.
• GT700 Golden Carbon Plate — Full-length carbon skeleton reinforced with polyimide (PI) fibers. 20% lighter than standard carbon plates while triggering a 9.9% boost in forefoot mechanical propulsion.
• COOLSHELL Jacquard Upper — Custom woven monofilament Jacquard fabric with 30% more ventilation windows to actively expel humidity and internal shoe heat during race efforts.
• Overhauled Ankle Containment — Heavily padded plush tongue and soft fleece heel-collar lining resolve the heel slip and tongue chafing issues of previous generations.
• Liquid-Cast CPU Outsole — Premium cast liquid CPU rubber mapped to high-friction strike patches, delivering a wet-surface grip coefficient of 0.9 and lasting up to 2,000 kilometers.

📏 Sizing & Fit Advisory

• True to Size, Slightly Long — Fits TTS with an intentionally elongated last preserving a thumb's width of toe wiggle room for continuous downhill stretches. Anatomical forefoot layout naturally accommodates toe splay.
• ⚠️ Do NOT Size Down — Downsizing narrows the midfoot platform heavily, forcing the rigid upward-curving edge of the internal GT700 carbon plate to dig painfully into your arches. Stick to your standard running shoe size and use the custom eyelet lacing lock system to secure your heel.
