It is joining the range as a part of the Summer 2025 collection and embodies a [stealthy aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/offcourt-slides) through and through. The silhouette gets an all-black makeover as the upper is constructed from fuzzy suede. Along the forefoot is a plush tongue for comfort and support and secured in place with sleek, thin laces. The branding on the side of the shoe has a double-stacked application in a tonal finish. The rest of the model is complete with details, including the black rubber outsole unit, which adds some traction and more branding at the heel and insole.
