Following the launch of its first foray into the footwear category with Blissfeel, Lulumeon is continuing its women-first approach to new footwear with Chargefeel. These sneakers take the form of low, cross-training workout shoes that deliver a "zero-distraction experience" for wearers.
While the previous launch introduced the athletic brand's first running shoe design, Chargefeel stands out by sharing an all-in-one solution for people who love to move their body in many different ways and demand a shoe capable of handling it all. Through its research, Lululemon found that most women take part in more than one sweat activity per week and Chargefeel supports multi-directional movements across multiple activities, such as training or HIIT.
This sneaker design leads with bounce and forward motion (like a running shoe) and then provides the trustworthy side-to-side stability of a training shoe.
