The PW500 FRESH was a demanding but rewarding project specially developed for the Asian market and its hot, humid climate.
Our goal: create a shoe that was both ultra-light and durable, with a strong focus on breathability.

We introduced NewfeelFRESH ventilation technology, featuring lateral air channels built into the sole.
Behind that apparent simplicity was real technical work especially with the mold engineers, to make the sole breathable without compromising strength or comfort.

Designed for kids who walk often and need real performance in warm weather, the PW500 FRESH was made to keep feet cool.
