Revitalized Retro Runners

Eytys Introduced Its First Running Shoes with a Nod to 1970s Fashion

'Eytys,' a high-end footwear label that's based in Sweden, recently expanded its range with a line of retro runners -- a style that marks a first for the brand.

Now, Eytys is looking to enhance its selection by including new colorways for the model, with each covered in varying neutral tones in order to maintain the elegant aesthetic that the brand goes for.

Included in the 'Jet' series is an all-black version, as well as one that's black, navy and white, another that's white and light gray and one more that's white, dark gray and tan. Each of the retro runners is complemented by a thick sole that's made to be especially functional with a series of rubberized grips on the bottom.
