The model is detailed in luxurious updates in two options -- the first one showcases black [pony hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pony-hair) that makes up the strap for a minimal but textural finish. The second option is complete in a black snakeskin-effect across the strap as another minimal, yet textural completion. The premium straps are the standout component of this latest update, both of which cross over the full-length BOOST sole unit foundation. This gives wearers a sense of comfort throughout the day wearing it due to the cushioning sensibilities. The sole is also complete in black for a minimal monochromatic design.
