It is all coated in [GORE-TEX materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goretex-2002r) which allow the shoe to have a waterproof sensibility without compromising its luxurious elements. It is finished with matte black hardware whilst the white stitching offers a contrasting look to elevate the structural elements. This is paired with a quick lacing system as the shoes.
