British footwear imprint Hi-Tec continues to add more to its subline Hi-Tec TS74 that are packed with looks that are inspired by older sneaker silhouettes. This time, the looks prepare for the Fall/Winter 2022 season and are inspired by the moods attached to the changing seasons throughout the entire year.
The highlighting looks include the HTS ELITE RGS sneaker that has a toe box overlay to create durability and ease with glide. It is blended with cross-sections overlaying throughout the upper and sits on top of a Vibram RGS outsole and Vibram Rolling Gate System outsole. This is all applied to help assist the natural movement of the foot and reduce any muscle fatigue. Overall, the capsule is inspired by the weather and designs that adapt to it.
