McLaren and Athletic Propulsion Labs Launch HySpeed Sneakers

Luxury Footwear Collaboration

Luxury carmakers are not just carmakers these days; they are diversifying into the apparel market. Case in point, McLaren and Athletic Propulsion Labs have collaborated to bring a stunning sneaker collection.

Introducing the APL | McLaren HySpeed

Meet the APL | McLaren HySpeed - performance shoes with a touch of McLaren. These shoes feature:

• APL's patented Load 'N Launch technology that increases vertical leaps.
• FutureFoam pods at each end connected by a full-length lightweight carbon fibre plate.
• A nitrogen-infused midsole that makes the shoes more responsive, akin to pressing the nitrous button in a car.

Design Inspired by McLaren Supercars

McLaren has a hand in the design of the shoes, which echo the British carmaker’s supercars. The shoes are available in various McLaren-ey colours, including:

• White/McLaren Orange
• White/Black/Ombre
• Rose/Dust/Crème
• Energy/Metallic Silver
• McLaren Orange
