The Disruptor Strappy Sandals sit on top of a chunky sole unit constructed from rubber materials, replicating the original sneaker. The modifications are found at the uppers, where the construction features materials such as white mesh materials accented with a hook and loop fastening enclosure wrapping around the forefoot in the colors red and white for contrast. rounding out the entire sandals is a heel strap for additional security accented with FILA branding.
