The Silver Conductive Textile Layer
Modern footwear focuses on cushioning and comfort, but very few designs consider the body’s natural electrical relationship with the earth.
The ERTH CLASX TRI-GROUND™ system introduces a conductive textile layer made from silver-infused fibers that helps create a pathway between the body and the ground.
Silver has been used for centuries for its conductivity and antimicrobial properties. In performance footwear, it offers a rare combination of electrical transfer, durability, and premium comfort.
Within the ERTH CLASX system, the silver textile layer sits closest to the foot, forming the first step in the grounding pathway.

Why Silver Conductive Textile?
Silver is one of the most conductive elements found in nature. When woven into textile fibers, it creates a breathable material capable of transmitting electrical charge while maintaining softness and flexibility.
This makes it ideal for performance footwear where comfort, airflow, and energy transfer must coexist.
The ERTH CLASX silver textile layer provides:
• Conductive contact with the body
• Breathable comfort for daily wear
• Natural antimicrobial properties
• Lightweight premium feel

How It Works with TRI-GROUND™
The silver textile layer is part of the four-layer TRI-GROUND™ architecture designed to create a continuous conductive pathway.
TRI-GROUND™ integrates:
• Silver conductive textile
• Conductive comfort foam
• Copper grounding grid
• Copper conductive nodes
Together these layers work to reconnect performance footwear with the earth’s natural electrical environment while maintaining the comfort and structure expected from modern luxury sneakers.

Designed for Performance Luxury
Unlike traditional grounding approaches that rely on barefoot walking, ERTH CLASX integrates grounding into modern performance footwear.
The result is a system that supports movement, stability, and comfort while maintaining a clean, minimal luxury aesthetic.
