The first collaboration between Sonra, the German brand founded by Hikmet Sugoer, and the Aberdeen based sneaker boutique Hanon, has as protagonist the Proto, a classic running silhouette manufactured in Germany and hand numbered.

The sneaker color-scheme goes back to 2011 paying homage to one of the most appreciated collaborations of the Scottish store, the famous Gel Lyte III "Wildcats" by Asics.

Handcrafted with premium materials and limited to only 200 pairs worldwide, each pair is individually numbered on the underside of the tongue as well as on a special suede hangtag.

If you don't want to miss the chance to get one pair of these beauties, mark on your calendar that the Hanon x Sonra Proto "Wildcats" will be available on the Hanon website only, via raffle. Good luck!

Karhu celebrates the spectacular summers north of the Arctic Circle, where the sun does not completely set from May until August, giving birth to a special pack dubbed "Land Of The Midnight Sun”.

This charming collection consists of three popular silhouettes from the Finnish brand: Fusion 2.0, Aria and Synchron Classic.

The shoes are made with premium materials such as buttery suede and breathable nylon mesh to provide comfort and ventilation, while the colour-schemes take inspiration from Finland’s twilight hours: glimmering orange, starry white and grey, set against a landscape of calm blue lakes with tree lined horizons.
