The latest iteration is complete in a predominantly gray tone throughout the uppers in a [waterproof material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goretex-protection-pack). This feature is accompanied by a midfoot cage and toe cap for added protection. Some details include reflective touches over the heel pull tab, a zipper enclosure over the side, and bright orange rope lacing systems. To round out the entire silhouette are a black rubber outsole with traction sensibilities and a Phylon light gray midsole.
