Breathable Ultra-Lightweight Sneakers

Cole Haan's New Generation ZEROGRAND Sneaker is Ultra Light

— July 10, 2019 — Fashion
Cole Haan is giving consumers a lighter option when it comes to sneakers with its new Generation ZEROGRAND shoes. Not only are the new shoes the brand's most lightweight option yet, but they're also the second cheapest pair in the brand's entire sneaker lineup.

The new Generation ZEROGRAND sneakers from Sole Haan are ultra-lightweight shoes that are designed to be both comfortable and breathable enough for everyday wear. The sneakers are made with a Stitchlite upper that allows for extra breathability, while the gel-cushioned insoles and tongues offer additional padding for the foot. Finally, the arched outsole is springy and supportive, while still being lightweight. In terms of style, the Generation ZEROGRAND sneakers boast a minimalist look that makes them versatile enough for men or women to wear with nearly any outfit.
