A Sneaker, Dressed Up: Metro Shoes Upgrades Men’s Footwear

~ Introducing METRO CROSSOVER-versatile footwear for every move~

MUMBAI, India, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Metro Shoes, India’s leading footwear destination, announces the launch of METRO CROSSOVER, a first-of-its-kind menswear collection that creates a new space between sneakers and formals. Designed for the modern Indian man who is always on the move, METRO CROSSOVER becomes a symbol of self-assurance and confidence, standing tall in spaces traditionally reserved for formal attire. 

With ‘A Sneaker. Dressed Up.’ as its statement, the collection makes one clear promise: men no longer have to compromise. CROSSOVER blends ease with polish, giving every step the comfort of a sneaker and the confidence of a dressed-up shoe. 

This is footwear engineered for modern life. Each style fuses premium materials with sneaker-inspired innovation to deliver what today’s man values most:

• All-Day Comfort: Strobel construction and ultra-cushioning that adapts to your foot.
• Lightweight Ease: EVA soles that keep every step effortless.
• Performance Durability: High-traction TPR outsoles for grip and movement.
• Climate Control: Breathable knits and moisture management for India’s conditions.
• Refined Craft: Premium leather and trims, balancing polish with ease.

The collection spans loafer-sneaker hybrids, knit slip-ons, knit lace-ups, and elevated sneakers- a shoe for every occasion, without compromise.

And without compromise clarity of vision comes. Speaking on the launch, Alisha Malik, President, Metro Brands, said:

“At Metro, we’ve always believed that footwear should evolve with the way people live. With CROSSOVER, we are not just launching a new line, we are redefining an entire category. The modern Indian man no longer separates boardroom from after-hours and CROSSOVER is built exactly for that fluid lifestyle. By combining sneaker-level comfort with the refinement of formal design, we’ve created a shoe that adapts as seamlessly as our customers do. For over seven decades, Metro has been synonymous with quality and innovation, and CROSSOVER is the next step in that journey- setting new benchmarks in how India walks with style and confidence.”

The METRO CROSSOVER collection is now available across Metro Shoes stores nationwide, and online.
