On the morning of August 15, RAX, the global leader in ultra-light outdoor gear, held its 2015 Autumn-Winter new product launch at the headquarters of Fujian Taiya Co., Ltd., officially unveiling its brand-new and highly anticipated hiking product series for the season — the "Yue Xing" (Pleasant Walk). This footwear series is designed around the core concept of “delightful lightness | uninterrupted movement,” featuring an exclusive embedded magnetic therapy chip with a fatigue relief system called “relieve system,” and is tailored for an all-terrain, ultra-light hiking experience. The new products were launched at a recommended retail price of 239 RMB. Starting August 15, pre-sales were available exclusively at the RAX Tmall flagship store. On the same day, the RAX official website, RAX JD.com flagship store, and other major platforms also began sales simultaneously, winning widespread love and support from both new and loyal customers.
(Delightful Lightness | Uninterrupted Movement)
Traditional and professional outdoor activities are sports aimed at challenging oneself and conquering nature. They often involve remote, high-altitude, long-distance, and time-intensive environments. The majority of participants are enthusiasts of specific outdoor sports, representing a niche group. To ensure safety during these activities, a strong emphasis is placed on structural and functional safety designs in the products.
However, RAX believes that outdoor activities closer to daily life and urban settings are meant to enjoy natural and cultural landscapes while relaxing the body and mind. These activities usually take place in low-altitude areas near cities, over medium to short distances, with flexible scheduling. Such outdoor pursuits are more easily accepted by the general public and enjoy higher participation rates. The focus in product design shifts toward ensuring lightweight comfort and easy coordination with casual, everyday wear. Therefore, RAX has maximally streamlined unnecessary lines, materials, and features in its product designs to match a variety of urban and suburban terrains, emphasizing soft, elastic, and breathable physical properties. At the same time, the color palette has been expanded beyond the traditionally dull, dirt-resistant shades used in outdoor footwear, offering more options to pair with diverse casual outfits. Based on this design philosophy, RAX has introduced a new flagship hiking product series — the Yue Xing 5C322.
The Yue Xing 5C322 embodies the consistent design and development philosophy of “delightful lightness | uninterrupted movement.” With a lightweight structure and powerful forward propulsion design, the outsole is highly adaptable to various terrains across China, from mountainous hills to urban plains. It also features an exclusive embedded magnetic therapy chip with a fatigue relief system called “relieve system.” True to its original intention, the design takes inspiration from humanity’s most fundamental needs, adopting an entirely new approach that is reflected in both craftsmanship and structure. By eliminating all unnecessary embellishments and redundant functions, it allows users to truly experience the limitless outdoor joy brought by the “ultra-light all-terrain” concept freeing their feet.
Lightness for greater journeys, a horizon without bounds
During movement, our feet not only experience friction in forward and backward directions. Due to the Earth’s gravity, every additional gram in shoe weight adds six grams of overall load. Yue Xing is committed to creating China’s lightest hiking footwear. While maintaining material integrity and full hiking functionality, it utilizes vertical ultra-light technology, resulting in a total shoe weight of just 460g. Abrasion resistance coefficient: DIN123 (national standard is only 100), slip resistance: 0.9 on dry surfaces, 0.6 on wet surfaces.
Within boundaries, explorers roam free
Unlike other hiking shoes, RAX Yue Xing hiking shoes have been designed based on terrain sampling from 26 provinces, municipalities, and directly administered regions, along with long-term research into the activity radius of urban-suburban outdoor enthusiasts. The outsole is zoned accordingly, using “cylindrical carbon rubber soles” combined with ultra-light, high-rebound 0.9EVA in the ground-contact friction zone and flex-zone boost areas. This achieves lightweight durability and suitability for a wide range of suburban and mountainous terrains — one pair for all journeys. Additionally, based on the natural shape of East Asian feet, the shoe offers a more snug fit design, aligning better with natural hiking postures and returning to the essence of outdoor exploration.
Energy returns, fatigue fades
Notably, the RAX Yue Xing hiking shoe is a pair of footwear filled with endless “positive energy.” The heel features an exclusive embedded magnetic therapy chip system called “relieve system,” which promotes blood circulation and provides a certain level of fatigue relief after long outdoor hikes.
Stylish and vibrant, easy to match
Unlike traditional designs, the designers boldly adopted a new streamlined shape, moving away from the rigid, bulky, and dirt-resistant color schemes of conventional hiking shoes, and showing greater consideration for fashion coordination and aesthetic trends. In terms of the shoe upper, imported suede leather is combined with breathable Oxford fabric, offering an attractive appearance while reducing weight and enhancing breathability — delivering a more thoughtful experience for the wearer.
