Last night, the Native Apollo made its official landing in the Philippines at The Sneak Peek in Shangri-la mall. A small group of media people, friends, and special guests got first access to Native’s newest silhouette. The Apollo gets its inspiration from the classic moccasin, combined with Native’s futuristic style, for a new future classic. Following the ‘keep it lite’ model, the apollo features a one piece, no sew, micro fiber upper with perforations all over for maximum airflow. The event was hosted by Jinno Rufino, with the ambassador of Canada as special guest. Check out the photos from last night’s Apollo landing and read more about Native’s newest future classic sneaker. You can grab a pair now at the Sneak Peek for P3,790 for the moc and P3,990 for the chukka.
The Apollo Has Landed
Banking on the concept of a moccasin, the most classic footwear silhouette known to mankind, Native created another future classic. With simplicity and “keep it lite” as guiding principles, Mark Gainor, Native’s Creative Director, ensured that the focus will only be on the essentials. The result is a totally familiar footwear made fresh and new by injecting Native’s quintessential futuristic touch.
Apart from being the first of its kind, the Apollo bears six distinct features. It is made with a sleek micro- fiber blend upper that whispers of the future. The Apollo Moc weighs as light as 23 1⁄2 regular-sized marshmallows making it mondo lightweight. Perforation detailing gives you the ultimate freer of feet for the maximum airflow experience.
Each Apollo shoe also boasts of the Anti-Anti Gravity feature where grounding rubber are inserted, giving traction where it is needed most. Beast-Free since day one with its superior materials, the Apollo is absolutely shock absorbent to put a little spring onto one’s step. Native has indeed modernized the classic moccasin and desert boot with the introduction of the Apollo Moc and Apollo Chukka.
This season, Native invites sneakerheads, hypebeasts, and everyone else in between to step into the future and out into the cool space with its newest design – the Apollo! Check out the Apollo at all Native stores and kiosks as well as SneakPeek branches.
