Kizik is debuting the 'Monaco,' a bold new addition to its lineup that seamlessly merges high fashion with cutting-edge hands-free technology. Known for redefining convenience without compromising style, Kizik continues to push the boundaries of everyday footwear with its latest innovation.

Designed in collaboration with Kizik’s top UK-based designers, led by Andreas Harlow, Kizik’s senior vice-president of Design - and a former Nike designer - the 'Monaco' introduces an external arc. This striking design element reimagines Kizik’s signature hands-free technology. Harlow, “passionate” about his design, has seen all the different design applications working in “all the departments” in his former position, working on sporting, utility, and casual footwear styles throughout his career.

This latest structural enhancement from Kizik elevates aesthetics with an emphasis on style, but also ensures seamless functionality, reinforcing Kizik’s commitment to effortless wearability. The 'Monaco’s' premium construction includes a refined mix of suede, technical woven nylon, sculpted rubber, and EVA foam, fusing luxury elements and practicality.

“The Monaco is the epitome of fashion meeting function,” Harlow notes. “With the introduction of the external arc and high-end materials, we’re taking hands-free footwear into a new era where style and convenience exist without compromise.”

The Monaco is packed with innovative features that blend functionality with style. At its core is Kizik’s patented hands-free step-in technology, enabling effortless wear without the need for laces or manual adjustment. Crafted from a premium mix of suede, woven nylon, and sculpted rubber, the sneaker offers both durability and a sophisticated aesthetic.

According to a statement from the Kizik shoemaker, it's built for longevity, undergoing 30,000 heel compressions to ensure lasting performance and comfort. The flexible, spring-back heel enhances dynamic movement, snapping into place with each step for a smooth entry and responsive walking experience.

Adding to its innovation, the 'Monaco' integrates honeycomb thermoplastic heel technology, providing convenience by allowing natural motion without stiffness or rigidity, rubbing away material in other shoemakers usually.

Designed for movement, the Monaco is an ideal travel companion, whether navigating city streets, commuting to the office, or jet-setting abroad. Available in White Moonbeam, Iceberg Green, Wild Rose, and other contemporary hues, the sneaker caters to both minimalist and statement-making aesthetics.

Harlow's expertise has been instrumental in shaping the brand’s seamless fusion of fashion and technology since his tenure at Nike, working with the Kizik brand. Kizik is innovating footwear while revolutionizing it. With over 200 patents, the brand leads the way in hands-free footwear technology, ensuring its designs remain unmatched in convenience, comfort, and performance. Kizik’s position at the forefront of fashion-tech footwear is ideal for those seeking an effortlessly stylish sneaker with groundbreaking functionality.
