Sneaker designer John Geiger recently unveiled a new colorway design of his new 003 sneaker model entitled the 'Black Python.' This edition has a predominantly darker color palette that is detailed with bright accents as a bold contrasting element throughout the design.
The uppers have panels that feature luxurious python skin in black, serving as the base foundation of the model. It is then further accented with a holographic stripe across the midfoot evoking hues of both blue and green. Additionally, the lacing system feature white and black laces to capture the exotic animal theme. All of this sits on top of a chunky outsole foundation in white as a stark contrast against the rest of the Black Python colorway.
