Xtep Men's 160X 7.0 PRO - Alabster/Black/Water Green

✅ What it is

• The XTEP 160X 7.0 PRO is a high-performance carbon-plated running shoe from XTEP, aimed at serious runners — particularly those doing long-distance races (half-marathons, marathons) or speed-focused training.

• It belongs to XTEP’s “160X 7” generation, which the brand describes as its latest “championship-level” racing lineup — with 160X 7.0 PRO positioned as the flagship / performance-benchmark within that series.

🏃♂️ Design & Build Features

• Midsole & Cushioning: Uses upgraded “XTEP ACE+ Tech” — a supercritical foam midsole designed for high rebound and stable cushioning even over full-marathon distance.

• Propulsion Plate: Features a full-length “GT700 Carbon Plate” embedded plate made with aerospace-grade PI fiber — this carbon plate is intended to provide strong propulsion and efficient transition, helping push you forward stride after stride. 

• Outsole / Durability: Outsole uses “XTEP DURA Tech” — a wear-resistant, slip-resistant outsole technology that enhances grip and stability, aiming to make the shoe reliable over many kilometers or varying surfaces.

• Upper & Fit: The shoe has a sleek, performance-oriented upper design (some describe it as “sock-like” / snug / glove-fit) for minimal weight, good lockdown, and efficient foot strike mechanics — suitable for race pacing or tempo workouts.

• Stack Height & Drop: According to tests of its predecessor models, stack height is relatively high (offering generous cushioning), with a modest heel-to-toe drop that supports efficient running posture — making for a “super-foam + carbon-plate” feel that balances cushioning and speed.
