An adidas Terrex classic gets a technical update

Though adidas have been very busy knocking out bucket hats recently that doesn’t mean that they haven’t taken their eye off the ball when it comes to making exceptionally good waterproof footwear. The German brand’s Terrex Skychaser GTX has been a solid trail shoe and one that every member of Outdoor Licence has put through it’s paces over the years. So we were very excited to hear that this technical trail-friendly staple has had a recent update in the form of the new AX5 model which features a LIGHTMOTION EVA midsole. Adding lightness, support and additional comfort to an already easy to wear shoe thanks to it’s OrthoLite sockliner, this new iteration also features an abrasion-resistant ripstop upper for added durability. If experience has taught us anything it’s that the Skychaser are the type of shoe that you tend to reach for when you’re off on a hike where both the terrain and the weather can be incredibly changeable. It’s great to see that nothing has been changed dramatically on these tried and tested favourites but rather that the comfort and tractions dials have been turned up to 11.
