The seasonal design is a chunky silhouette with a rugged sole in preparation for the tough terrain that comes with the colder seasons. The shoes are crafted from premium leather materials that give the surface a smooth grain texture. All of the shoes are complete with a rounded toe shape and enclosed with a [lacing system and strap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/off-the-grid-pack) to fasten the foot comfortable in place. This is behind the buckle that sits on a [chunky rubber sole unit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoshield-xx01) with an additional logo engraved onto as a branding accent. The colorway is entirely black for a sleek finish for the season.
