History exhibits
The XXXVI is the line’s textile experiment: more air, less material, and a cushioning system stitched into the upper.
Exhibit 01
Jacquard leno-weave
The open weave gives the upper strength, breathability, and a distinctive visual grain.
- The weave bends around movement.
- Open space keeps the upper light.
- Colorways read as fields of textile rather than panels.
Exhibit 02
Zoom Air Strobel
Full-length cushioning is stitched directly to the upper, with extra forefoot Zoom below.
- The setup maximizes underfoot coverage.
- The ride stays responsive without a heavy shell.
- The construction changes how the upper and sole connect.
Exhibit 03
TPU ribbon and Eclipse Plate
A thin ribbon and plate stabilize the lightweight build.
- The ribbon adds structure around the foot.
- The plate organizes propulsion.
- The shoe stays airy while remaining controlled.
