Wanderlust Vision works together with XL EXTRALIGHT® to push boundaries when it comes to technical design and the product that the two unveil is dubbed Libra. This is more than just a footwear design as it highlights progression and environmental consciousness. The silhouette is inspired by the dragonfly and how it is deeply connected to its surroundings.
The Libra shoe is lightweight and follows the same theme of harmonious design. It is formed with a thoughtful approach and high levels of craftsmanship. The team created a new sole that reflects the intricate look and function of a dragonfly's wings. This is engineered in Finproject Labs and features the iconic XL EXTRWALIGHT XGRIP soles. This gives the Libra premium traction and durability without compromising style or comfort.
