The three colorway options include either black, brown, or gold -- all of which fall under the brand's Active Heritage line for the Fall/Winter 2020 season. The construction hits the spotlight as it is made from supple curduroy materials before being detailed with [suede components](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weapon-suede-ox-ne) and signature brand emblems to round it out. Each pair is complete with a suede tab on the lateral side to add support and protection when wearers are skateboarding. Rounding out the sneakers are a specially made gum outsole to deliver traction at the foundation.
