Jambo Meaning ‘welcome’ in Swahili, the Jambo is a stylish take on the iconic all-American sneaker. This new line offers an introduction to the MBT way of walking - a taster of the MBT experience of ultimate comfort. With an encapsulated Masai sensor inside the midsole, this innovation in sole technology provides a reduced level of instability for beginners as well as a slimmer, curved sole for added consumer appeal. An increased automation in the Jambo’s sole construction allows a more affordable price point. Available in canvas fabric with suede detailing for both men and women in classic black, grey and military, and on-trend navy and red. An alternative in sleek nylon is available for the Fall Winter season in a choice of brown or dark blue for men, and brown or dark grey for ladies. RRP: £125.


Ari


The term “ari” is Swahili for “spirit,” and the Ari shoe ―the most technically advanced in MBT’s 15-year history ―embodies the spirit and philosophy of the MBT brand, which is to increase


movement and subsequently muscle activation through built-in instability while standing and walking. The Ari was awarded this year’s red dot award for product design— the first shoe in the physiological footwear arena to do so. Aimed at those who demand maximum comfort and performance, the Ari has a powerful integrated ventilation system that helps keep feet cool and dry; it is the first physiological shoe to feature such advanced technology. Built on a contoured last that replicates the shape of a human foot, it provides optimal heel and forefoot fit, while biomechanically engineered structural pillars offer guidance to the foot during the fall-gait cycle and enable the free movement of air. Ari’s multi-layered 3D mesh insole is antibacterial, removable and washable. Ari will be available in stores in August. RRP: £269.99
