Lørenskog, 23. April 2019 PRESS RELEASE

Viking’s Active Collection for Tweens –Athleisure looks for highly active feet Viking Outdoor Footwear has created three new shoes for active and fashion-minded pre-teens wanting footwear that can do it all – provide comfort and performance, while looking great. Introducing: Elise, Martine and William. When kids reach the ages of 8-12, their interest in fashion and trends begins to catch up with their high energy levels. Viking’s new active tween collection for SS20 keeps this in mind with modern and sporty styled shoes that still provide great performance, durability and comfort during any activity. Each of the three new models is lightweight, feels soft on the foot and is made from materials that allow the foot to breathe freely. To increase foot comfort further, they feature a last developed specifically to support growing feet as well as an EVA midsole that cushions every step. Like all Viking shoes, durability is a high priority. Despite their low weight, the shoes have reinforced details that help extend their lifetime – and looks. And because good grip is always important, no matter the surface or weather, Viking’s famous natural rubber outsole provides traction when needed most. Elise, Martine and William are a great choice for active play or just hanging around with friends. Regardless of the activity, tweens will appreciate them just as much as their parents. Get to know Elise, Martine and William: Elise Elise features a narrow last and is a perfect shoe for the active girl. Not only does it have a sleek and sporty upper that is made from a lightweight and highly breathable material, it is also durable thanks to a bonded scuff cap around the shoe and heel reinforcements. Whether playing or just hanging around with friends, this shoe has all of a girl’s needs covered.
