The [hiking sneaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/offtrail-hike) boasts retro elements as it nods to the 90s. The upper is more sleek this time around, finished in a streamlined design. The [outdoor shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canada-goose-glacier-trail-high) have an oversized mudguard that reaches upwards from the outsole. The shoe has heritage accents that reference the outdoors and streetwear culture. This is showcased on the classic pull tab at the back of the heel area. The hiking strings across the upper continue to show off the rugged energy of the shoe's design without compromising the overall function of the piece, which also amplifies the motif.
