To celebrate the launch of the Skychaser AX5 GORE-TEX, adidas TERREX joined forces with the LA-based outdoor collective Usal Project last weekend, offering its community a chance to test the model on a sunset hike. The new and improved AX5 sits in the sweet spot between entry-level and performance grade, emerging from the Skychaser line — adidas TERREX’s most technical hiking range. Led by enthusiastic Usal volunteers, the TERREX team invited me to join the miniature expedition in my own pair. Upon arrival on a sweltering Saturday evening, it was only a matter of minutes before dozens of freshly-opened AX5s cluttered the LA streets outside Usal’s new Los Feliz hub.
