Luxury fashion house Burberry introduces a full tonal iteration of the Arthur sneaker model with the new British tan palette by the name 'Honey.' The latest option is not the most vibrant but for its neutrality, it makes up for in the intricate detailing and premium materials at the construction.
The upper is made from a knit mesh material to promise breathability. The lacing system is a notable attribute as well, with eyestays that standout to hold the oval laces in place. It is then protected by a thick rubber mudguard and toe cap. Branding details come through and can be found at the insole units, the tongue tags, and more. The heel tab has a hi-vis material to show off a reflective accent.
