Of course, these sneakers aren't actually made of snakeskin, the exterior is actually [deep red Italian leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superstar-lux) with a pattern that echoes the same scaly effect. On the tongue of these baller kicks are two golden pyramid shaped studs. Along with leather, there is also [suede on the back](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/action-bronson-x-new-balance-992) of the shoe by the Adidas logo and on the eyestay.
