High Fashion Knitted Sneakers

Prada Launched a New Style of Luxurious Knitted Running Shoes

Luxury Italian fashion house Prada launched a new style of knitted running shoes.

Known for its high quality products, the designer has created a comfortable, long-lasting and modern version of the classic sneaker. Featuring a strap in the middle of the shoe instead of the classic lace-up style, these shoes are a throwback to 90s Velcro strap running shoes. The shoes host bold patterns around the uppers and brightly colored rubber bottoms. Available colors include grey with red and yellow details, or black with red and yellow detailing.

Made out of a knit sock-like material, this new design of knitted running shoes is breathable and meant to be worn everyday or in the gym and is available for sale now.
