Burberry Brings British Tan to the Arthur Sneaker
Officially dubbed “Honey,” the chunky silhouette also features a new knit mesh construction.
Burberry‘s blocky Arthur sneaker has seen everything from a red nylon and suede makeup to monogrammed colorways and denim construction, but now it’s going back to basics with a simple yet effective British tan style dubbed “Honey”. Though this latest pair may lack the gaudy flair of its counterparts, it makes up for its lack of vibrance with an elegant color scheme and an alternate build: it’s the first Arthur to boast a knit mesh upper.
This knit mesh base features a unique lacing system, with eyestays that rise out of the upper’s bottom half to meet the oval laces. It’s quickly shielded by a thick rubber mudguard and toe cap, providing a healthy dose of boot-like flair. Burberry branding is placed on the tongue tag and insole, while strips of hi-vis reflective material appear on the heel tab, heel itself and the forefoot overlay. Down below, a thick midsole with cut-out detailing towards the heel and a lugged traction pattern supply a finishing dash of style.
The Burberry Arthur sneaker in “Honey” is available now via HBX. Its MSRP is set at a handsome $868 USD.
Elsewhere in the world of footwear, YEEZY Day — a “celebration” of Kanye West’s famed footwear line — has been announced for August 2.
