HeliX™︎ Sole Technology
Patented HYBEX core technology.
The shoe features a patented metamaterial structure that compresses while rotating forward.
By absorbing impact at landing while reducing braking forces, it redirects that energy through rotational motion into forward propulsion.
This technology enables both high impact absorption and smooth weight transfer—two qualities that have traditionally been difficult to achieve simultaneously in conventional running shoes.
Through the integration of a 3D-printed upper structure and a lower layer of supercritical foam, HX LENS delivers a distinctive running experience.
Runners are able to move forward fluidly, without the sensation of braking, and experience a smooth, continuous sense of motion while running.
Durability developed through 2 years of R&D.
In real-world road testing, with cumulative running distances exceeding 500 km, no structural fatigue, damage, or noticeable deformation of the sole was observed.
In addition, laboratory flex testing was conducted under strictly controlled conditions, applying 125,000 continuous flex cycles at a 50-degree angle and a rate of 70–100 repetitions per minute.
Following completion of the test, no structural failure were found in the 3D-printed structure.
Based on these results, the HeliX sole has been verified to meet the durability requirements for running applications.
HX LENS is not a shoe created simply to showcase new structures or materials.
It is designed and validated to deliver a stable, consistent running experience over extended periods of use.
Through ongoing quantitative testing and real-world validation, HYBEX continues to refine both product reliability and the quality of the running experience.
Note: The 3D-printed structure is designed to ensure that running performance is not significantly affected even in the unlikely event of partial damage or chipping to the sidewalls.
