The brand launches three colorway options in [trail-friendly colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mt10o) led by Cordura materials throughout the uppers, in place of the usual leather and suede materials. There are also Cordura-branded tabs that can be found detailing the quarter panels by the lateral side of the shoe. Distorted stripes make their way onto the laces to reference the design language of actual hiking boots and shoes. Neutral tonal palettes make up all of the design as one blends together brown tones and the other blends grey with teal and the last merges green with beige together.
