Two of Sweden´s biggest sports brands have collaborated on a nature-inspired race shoe that made its debut in the 2025 Stockholm Marathon.

Swedish sportswear companies Craft and Houdini announced a collaborative release of the Kype Pro Limited Edition running shoe, marking what we believe is Houdini’s first foray into footwear design. The launch coincides with the upcoming Stockholm Marathon and includes a series of community events in the city.

The Kype Pro Limited Edition features a light sand colorway inspired by natural landscapes. The shoe incorporates sustainable materials, including an upper made from 50 percent recycled polyester AeroMesh, offering breathability and comfort. Performance elements include Craft’s Xx Foam midsole with nitrogen-infused Pebax for responsive cushioning, an Arris carbon fiber plate for propulsion and a split heel design to enhance stride efficiency.
