Our Legacy introduces a new tonal iteration of the Cage Sneaker with the latest Sawdust colorway design full of neutral hues. The base foundation of the design is made up of a blend of ballistic CORDURA paneling with Italian suede overlaying it to give it depth.
The soft hue is prominent throughout the paneling and the forefoot and laced overlays are done in a darker beige color. The underlays also follow the same tones as it is detailed in a muted tan colorway. The lacing system informs hiking style ropes in speckles of black and purple accents. The tongue has a rib cage outline that is done in black to add even more contrast. Underneath all of this is a Vibram sole unit foundation and white midsole.
