The collection includes a total of seven distinct designs, which range from the delicately embroidered white and pink 'Bromo' model, to the sleek black and yellow 'Uluwatu.' In addition to the design inspiration that's used for the Indonesia collection that represents the beauty of the land, Solana seeks to honor the natural world through its [sustainable crafting processes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-sneaker-collection).
