Cumbria-based imprint Working Class Heroes introduces two new iterations of the Norvan LD 3 GTX sneaker model in collaboration with Arc'teryx. The duo delivers two new colorway models of the silhouette including a Dark Cocoon and a Black Pilot.
The running shoe is made using a cushioned lining for comfort with every step and finished with a baltic mesh upper for breathability. It is then overlaid with polyolefin details to add some structure to the shoe accompanied by an ariaprene foam tongue for additional padding. The entire outer shell of the sneaker is made using a GORE-TEX membrane to provide waterproof sensibilities. It all rests on top of a shock-absorbing midsole foundation and treaded outsole.
