South Korean fashion label AMBUSH introduces a new Leather Mix hi-top sneaker model that is available in four different colorways. The shoes are complete in a dual tonal look with monochromatic touches starting with a red and black iteration, followed by a Sail White colorway, an all-black color palette, and a bright yellow and green iteration.
The upper is made using smooth leather materials with a rubber eyelet overlay on top. The lining is detailed with mesh materials for comfortable breathability. The bottom is a notable look, featuring a unit that appears to look like it is dipped in wax with a rubber sole unit that travels up above the midsole section, surrounding the toe box and the heel counter.
