Swiss-engineered, science-based performance apparel brand X-BIONIC launches in North America with the debut of its first footwear offering, the TerraSkin trail system.
The X-BIONIC “skin to trail” sock and shoe system provides optimal cushioning while redefining control, particularly on the downhill. The TerraSkin system features three new patent pending technologies. These work between the shoe and ground to increase stability, comfort and grip. The shoe was designed to fully integrate between the XSKIN sock and the shoe upper for complete synergy and skin-to-ground connection.
The TerraSkin shoe and sock combination offers numerous features:
— air cool strip 3D foam mesh and air conditioning channels for ventilation
— achilles tendon protector 3D heel cage for protection
— SkinKnit wrapping for control
— Speedframe technology for stability
— Spinweave technology for grip and traction
— Power-Lite carbon for reactivity and control
“Building off our industry-leading sock innovations, we decided to create a trail shoe that combines comfort with maximum grip and control,” said Max Lenk, CEO of X-BIONIC. “In the same way that a mountain bike provides perfect balance on technical downhills, we wanted to emulate that same confidence in trail running. TerraSkin was born from that idea.”
The elite level X00/C (MSRP USD $300) is optimized for medium to long distance, complete with compatible X-SOCKS for the ultimate run experience. The company is centralized in Zurich, Switzerland. X-BIONIC introduced its line Nov. 19-21 at The Running Event in Austin, Texas.
As one of the most progressive sock and base layer designers in the world, X-Bionic is known for prioritizing refined aerodynamics, dynamic stabilizers, maximum cooling power and flow-optimized surfaces as the foundation of every X-BIONIC® design.

These include resort skiing, snowboarding, cross-country, winter running, ski-touring and elite alpine racing.
