New lightweight sneaker draws inspiration from Copenhagen’s Circle Bridge

For Summer 2018, design-first sneaker company ARKK Copenhagen introduces their lightest, most comfortable sneaker to-date: the Velcalite CM H-X1.

The newest silhouette in the company’s minimalist sneaker universe, the Velcalite, takes creative cues from Copenhagen’s convention-defying Circle Bridge and is engineered for active city living . Whether you walk, run, or bike across, the Circle Bridge’s intentional zigzag design encourages pedestrians and cyclists to slow down and take a breather.

Designed for all day wearability, the sneaker is a thoughtful synthesis of sneaker innovation and modern street style. A tactile and breathable Compiled Mesh pattern across the upper—informed by the Circle Bridge’s intricate handrail design—and a unique lacing system inspired by the bridge’s suspension cable structure—set the form and function of this sneaker. At its foundation is ARKK’s custom ultra-lightweight Hover-X1 sole unit—making the Velcalite Summer 2018’s most versatile sneaker.

Available worldwide, a pair of these sleek sneakers will set you back $130 USD / €120.
