New UK Brand LMNTS Unveils Debut Sneaker, the 'Alpha Runner'
Niko Pajkovic — October 14, 2021 — Fashion
Newly launched British streetwear brand LMNTS has unveiled its very first sneaker silhouette dubbed the 'Alpha Runner,' which was included in the brand's debut Fall/Winter 2021 collection. Much like the rest of the brand's offerings, the sneaker boasts a high-end technical design.
Made from luxury materials and crafted in adherence with the brand's minimalist design philosophy, the 'Alpha Runner' presents a distinctly contemporary silhouette that reworks familiar retro features. The shoe's design consists of suede and mesh uppers that are dressed with reflective strips. Meanwhile, the midsole is defined by jagged lines, which rest atop thick rubber outsoles with a bubble heel.
The 'Alpha Runner' is being offered in three colorways: black, white, and navy. All three variations are currently available for purchase on the brand's online website.
