The two silhouettes serve as the base foundation of the latest partnership and are made with inspiration drawn from architectural design language. There is a strong sense of industrial post-modern themes that are spotlighted by technical detail and hints of geometric structures. The color palette of green, yellow, and orange decorates the sneakers with rooted tones of gray or black to add a muted feature to the overall design. The brand explains the collaboration as “translates social themes centered around the hybridization of urban landscape and technology into wearable formats.
