Harrys of London’s Futuristic Sneakers Use High-Tech Fabrics and 3-D Innersoles

Athleticism, observed through a futuristic lens, was the focus for the fall 2017 Harrys of London collection, presented during London Fashion Week Men’s, which kicked off Friday.

The footwear range was heavy on sneakers, scattered around a gigantic illuminated table during the presentation. They came in a variety of shades and fabrics, including metallic-paneled high-tops and mesh lace-up sneakers. Color-block slip-ons made use a specially designed tech carbon fiber fabric.

In an effort to attract younger, more fashion-savvy consumers, the range also included playful printed leather versions with pop art-inspired slogans that read “Slow Down.”

The British accessories label also specially designed a new 3-D innersole for its fall 2017 footwear, which is flexible, provides cushioning and can adjust depending on the wearer’s foot to provide a customized fit.

“This season we have really challenged ourselves to bring in new styles and colors to attract a wider audience. Taking a truly 360 degree view of our product ranges, from fall 2017, all Harrys of London footwear will feature innovative Technogel 3-D innersoles providing our customers with the ultimate footwear experience,” said the brand’s chief executive officer, Steven Newey.
