The footwear prepares for the warmer season and boasts a premium construction with the use of smooth leather done with a clean matte coat. There are two colorway options available in the selection of either all-white or all-black for a simplistic look. The most notable element of the sneaker is the sole unit which offers an elevated platform in a minimal, yet dramatic look. It boasts a ribbed detailing in a tonal manner with spectacular details across the entire structure. The rest of the shoe include rounded toe panels, laces, and neat [tonal stitching](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bw-army-lux).
