The two spotlight the theme of [futuristic design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ab2-11s) through two specific footwear silhouettes. Starting with the GSG Trail sneakers, it is offered in the colorway of either Gray One, Solar Blue, and Mgh Solid Gray. The second silhouette is the GSG Mule that is offered in the exact same colorway palette. To join the shoes, the brands put their heads together to design a [backpack and tote bag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forza-e-coraggio) designed with the same theme. The shots use the GSG-9 boot as the base foundation to the design before it is adorned in co-branding details throughout. The TRail is made from synthetic and neoprene with reflective metallic details.
