All of the styles are a part of the brand's Fall 2018 range, with more muted colorways complementing the chunky silhouettes that are resistant to the elements. The updates to the Angel sneakers feature one that has a futuristic-looking all-white colorway, which is diversified with a few light gray components that prevent it from getting scuffed. The other Angel sneakers are more retro-looking, with a classic mustard yellow and black plaid pattern covering the uppers entirely. The Ortega boots are rather minimalist, as the all-black leather uppers sit on top of matching platform soles.
