The Auckland Racer was originally designed as a running shoe in the 1970’s, carrying a lineage associated with the early pioneers of the jogging movement. The upper of the shoes is constructed from a Missoni space-dyed wool and highlighted with pop of metallic lamé thread, resulting in a three dimensional texture reminiscent of Missonis beautiful textured Knits. The canvas lining and rubber sole maintain the styles classic running heritage with the 100% wool upper giving it that little bit of modern flare.
