It comes in a refreshing Banana Yellow colorway, which is a new seasonally appropriate classic summer-centric model. The shoe made its original launch in 197,8 and the La Bateau variation retains the signature features. It also has a hard-wearing premium leather build at the upper, as softer leather can be seen around the lining. The outsole is rugged with a lug build. Some regal accents include the golden lace-top eyelets at the end of the cotton laces, with each side finished with a square and round lace tip.
