The new footwear is complete in a black palette for a minimal look, focusing on the intricate completion of the texture and material of the model. The sandals have a textural triple black look complete in a frayed accent informed by [luscious thick suede fabrication](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chrome-hearts-and-birkenstock). The top of the design has a small branding tag made from leather that weaves into the lateral side of the shoe. Notably, the slide also has finely cut edges that are accented by [long tassels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carver-sneaker) that fall horizontally and spread towards the medial side.
