The boots are constructed with rugged aesthetics in mind alongside streetwear style accents to give them a truly agile profile that will look right at home on city streets as well as off-grid trails. The sneaker boots have an off-white Nubuck upper with a quick-adjust lacing system and are paired with a GORE-TEX lining that will provide waterproof capabilities that don't come at the expense of breathability.
