The functional silhouette is adorned with deconstructed detailing and arrives in Beige or Black colorway options. The sneaker's uppers are constructed from a blend of different materials including mesh, nylon, rubber, and suede to give the design a dynamic and contrasting textural look. The top of the shoe features the brand's logo woven through with round laces going through a long ripstop panel at the upper side of the quarter. The toebox boasts breathability due to its mesh base foundation with additional GEL cushioning at the sole unit to deliver comfort.
