The street design captures the spirit of Halloween with hues or Bright Cactus, Black, and Green Curry throughout the silhouette. The shoes are detailed with [cracked leather over the upper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suede-mocha) which adds a unique texture to the design. It is a limited edition design and the cracked upper is contrasting the molded skull emblem seen on the black toe box -- this also competes with a 3D visual effect. The shoe is continued with the captivating textural black material along the lateral side of the shoe and the tongue section offset by orange laces and a gum sole unit.
