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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tor-ultra-lo) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goretex-protection-pack) and designs that adapt to it.
