McLaren Automotive has partnered with Athletic Propulsion Labs (APL) which is a high-performance athletic footwear brand, to create a new range of luxury footwear collection which is inspired by McLaren’s iconic supercars and hypercars. These shoes will be available in five exclusive colours, informed McLaren.
McLaren HySpeed is an all-purpose performance running trainer which marks the luxury supercar maker’s first footwear collaboration. The design of this footwear collection follows McLaren’s design pillars. The 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.
It is topped by an all-new nitrogen-infused midsole compound that is engineered for supreme responsiveness and energy-rich compression. In addition to this, the shoe also 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.

He also informed that the HySpeed is the most expensive in-line product to date from the brand and it is the introduction of the newest pod-based midsole technology as well.
