The new Burberry "Arthur" sneakers are here The great English tradition meets street style

The new Burberry sneakers, brought on the catwalk by Riccardo Tisci, are called Arthur. Their appearance during the FW19 show of the brand had already generated a lot of hype and interest and now that they are available in-store and online, they're ready to become the definitive statement piece of the season. The sneaker is an interpretation of the never-ending trend that in recent years has made popular the chunky silhouette, and it pays tribute to one of the cornerstones of British fashion: the Wellington Boot, a "technical" boot ante litteram that the first Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley, introduced and made popular almost two centuries ago. 

With its aggressive design and the numerous colourways in which it is presented, including the main one decorated with the Burberry monogram designed by Tisci and art director Tom Saville, Arthur is set to become the ideal shoe to face the winter weather with style. 

The Arthur Burberry sneakers are now available in selected retailers and on the Burberry e-shop.
