It is constructed from nubuck leather resting on top of a full-grain leather mudguard. The upper is a luxuriously altered variation of what was once the technical knitted version before. The sole unit has a wave structure fiving it a futuristic look and it is entirely crafted for lifestyle purposes. However, the brand adds some technicalities including the cushioned base in the form of the full-length Pebas plate that provides a full energy -- this is normally seen in sports shoes but makes its way onto the [lifestyle silhouette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bondi-b3ls-1).
