The Dark Slate option has a one piece type of fit that slips on similarly like a sock in black Primeknit material throughout the upper. It has some contrasting details as it nears closer to the back of the shoe. The upper is detailed with a weaving lacing system to secure the wearer's foot and has a sole unit to match. It extends up towards the top of the shoe to offer a dynamic aesthetic.
