K-SWISS X MCLAREN COLLABORATION LAUNCHES INTO ITS SECOND YEAR

by John Russel Jones


American heritage tennis brand K-Swiss has partnered with racing and automotive brand McLaren on a capsule collaboration, the second of three planned collections. The two new styles in the 2024 collaboration are the Aero-Active x McLaren and Rinzler GT, with the Classic VN STC being reimagined from last year. The K-Swiss x McLaren collection will be available to the public for purchase on Kswiss.com, McLaren.com, and at select retailers.

An ode to both brands’ legacies, the K-Swiss X McLaren Collection is a testament to innovative designs that push boundaries, combining the excellence of engineering and classic styles. The Aero-Active x McLaren (at top)  is engineered to withstand the obstacles of Formula 1 weekend as much as life’s daily adventures. The sporty silhouette incorporates breathability and moisture management coupled with high rebound foam and padded lining on the tongue, heel, and collar to ensure maximum comfort. Available in Snow White and Black, the papaya orange—a McLaren signature, is an integral component of the shoe, making it recognized instantly, with versatility that can be included in any outfit.

The Rinzler GT’s structured silhouette incorporates breathability with K-Swiss’ iconic 5-dashes. In white and black colorways, this model offers more of a streetwear aesthetic.
