A Xero Shoes x Literary Sport CollaborationThe Art of Less, Perfected

Literary Sport is a collection of refined running wear; purposeful garments that complement the individual pursuit of sport. With a discerning eye and care for nuance, Literary Sport designs expertly tailored, focused collections to support the rhythms of the activity, a concise edit of running wear and complementary pieces, offering evolved expressions of classic and high-performance forms. Developed with a focus on how meaningful details, exceptional fabrication, and understated silhouettes can inspire physical pursuits.

The Genesis Reimagined

The minimal design of the Genesis has remained essentially unchanged since 2009, with a thin sole millimeters from the ground, and lacing that adjusts to move as one with the foot. The Xero Shoes x Literary Sport edition exchanges the original paracord for navy leather, punctuated by a polished silver bead. Each pair includes a custom mesh drawstring bag with dedicated shoe compartments and an interior pouch.
