The broad range of footwear features the signature model in its low and high-top silhouettes. The notable difference is in the construction, with each pair of sneakers complete in [FORE-TEX materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goretex-protection-pack) to combat the rain and snow. The [winterized sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winterized-running-shoes) are protected from the wet weather and the high-top version also features a bungee system for added security. The low-top silhouette arrives in the tonal options of black, team gold/khaki, medium olive green, and a bright dynamic yellow. The high-top features the options of black, phantom, and Sequoia, -- phantom is a white and icy blue and sequoia is a militaristic green.
