Can’t afford a McLaren luxury super sports car? Then we’ve got you covered, instead go for a pair of special McLaren performance running trainers.

The British automotive brand has partnered with high-performance athletic footwear brand, APL, to create McLaren’s first footwear collaboration.

The APL | McLaren HySpeed features a three-piece segmented midsole with APL FutureFoam pods in the front and rear that are connected by a full-length lightweight carbon fibre plate topped by an all-new nitrogen infused midsole compound that is engineered for supreme responsiveness and energy rich compression.

Additionally, the shoe has a microfibre heel with extended wings and an internal advanced fitment system with three-piece cushion heel padding and APL’s signature Souffle Sockliner.

The outsole also references design details of McLaren’s supercars, featuring a tread pattern inspired by performance tyres that are designed for speed and grip.

“It has been a pleasure to collaborate with APL creating the APL | McLaren HySpeed shoe,” said Goran Ozbolt, Acting Design Director, McLaren Automotive.

“It perfectly embodies both our own McLaren and APL’s DNA and design philosophy. APL has developed new technologies specifically for this shoe – inspired by our ground-breaking work using lightweight materials – which also maximises the wearer’s comfort and experience.

“Like stepping into a McLaren, it is all about optimising performance, agility, and speed.”

The APL | McLaren collaboration comes in White/McLaren Orange, White/Black/Ombre, Rose Dust/Creme, Energy/Metallic Silver, and McLaren Orange is available for men and women and retails for US$450 (NZ$717).

The APL | McLaren HySpeed features a special designed box that has almost as many features as the shoes themselves.

The box is a drawer-style box with the outer sleeve being a combination of gloss McLaren Orange, metallic orange foil, and black foil logos. Pulling out the drawer you are presented with a black inner box and transparent smoked black shoe cover that displays the technical blueprint drawing of the shoe tooling.

Pulling the drawer out all the way reveals a line drawing of the McLaren F1 road car, one of the most iconic and desirable supercars ever made.

The collection is now available to purchase online at www.AthleticPropulsionLabs.com.
