K-SWISS ARIAKE LITE

As the profile of Parkour has steadily progressed throughout the year, so has K•Swiss’ development of their shoes made specifically for free runners. The Ariake model is evolving with the introduction of the Ariake Lite, which as the name suggests, is a much lighter version of their acclaimed sneaker. Featuring  an open-mesh upper and a mono-tongue design, the Ariake still retains the high-grip rubber sole which Parkourians love so much. As far as colours and blocking goes, this grey and black combo with a hit of coral in the heel is one of the nicer surprises we have seen this year. And for fans of super-wide-open-mesh, check the pattern, it's probably the craziest mesh we've seen since Climacool ruled the streets.
