Fashion label Calvin Klein joins the popular footwear silhouette concept of chunky shapes with its launch of the Carlos 10 sneakers. The footwear piece takes on a low-cut top with premium leather construction as its upper material. The toe is rounded off and has a tonal lace closure system. Branding details are seen on the pull tab, neoprene tongue, and heel collar with the label's logo. The shoe's panels are finished with perforated suede on the side and the heel has a snapback strap.
Additional branding details can be seen on the heel counter as well, accented with Calvin Klein's logo. The midsoles are crafted with synthetic materials in black beneath a tonal rubber sole. A notable element is the silver hardware details with the logo engraved onto them. There are four colorways available in total -- black, white, green, and orange.
