After reportedly dropping a Court Deluxe colorway called 'Strawberry Milk' just a short while ago, [FILA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-king-and-fila) launched an even fresher colorway for the model dubbed 'Melon.'

As the name of the shoe suggests, the Court Deluxe features [light green components](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avocado-colorway-1) on the uppers, which are consolidated to the lace loopholes (which are only featured on one of the new models), the backs of the heels, and the interior. FILA's branding is included in a darker hue of green on the sides of the uppers as well, where it's embroidered in its usual fashion. The rest of the sneakers, including the soles, are covered in a clean white hue.

The Melon Court Deluxe models come in two different versions: one that features retro [Velcro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoka-mafate-three2) straps, and another that has laces in place of them.
