The two brands are not unfamiliar with one another, having worked together in the past on silhouettes including the [Geo Forma Boot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geo-forma-boot) and the Aeon Active CX. The British imprint adds some utilitarian themes to the shoe with premium craftsmanship as well. The low-top silhouette is complete with hues of green and Dark Sapphire, finished in a tonal textile look throughout the upper. The tongues have a squared-off shape and the heels are debossed with leather materials. Other elements include the standard rubber toe caps that read “ACW_CNVS” branding and it is rounded out with co-branding at the tongue and insoles.
