Gradient Accent Running Shoes

Axel Arigato Launches Two New Colorways of the Marathon HD Shoe

— May 21, 2020 — Lifestyle
Swedish footwear label Axel Arigato delivers the signature Marathon HD sneaker silhouette in two new colorway options for the season. The retro footwear is made for running purposes and reinforces that notion with the sporty materials all throughout the upper with extravagant design language as well.

The Marathon HD sneaker features mesh materials as the foundation before it is accented with leather cut-out overlays. The first of the two colorways is a black base with bright orange fading to yellow details as a contrast. The second colorway is white with gradient overlaying accents as well informed by green and yellow. Silver details decorate the heel and the forefoot to round out the runners.
