The new XC-72 pushes its classic sources of inspiration even further into uncharted territory, with a timeless design inspired by the speculative technological optimism of 1970s concept cars. Three distinctive traction sole patterns and angular features are used to give the familiar elegance of the era's racing shoes an aggressive, experimental edge. The XC-72 is the future that the past dreamed of and brought to life. As part of the Lunar New Year collection, the XC-72 helps usher in the Year of the Tiger with a mix of neutral tones and tiger-striped graphics. A two-tone nylon and mesh upper is covered in furry suede, with colorful tiger stripes subtly placed on the toe and heel.
