The [collaborative footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelterrain-2) perfectly fuses the values of both labels, highlighting their shared interest in athletics, exploration, as well as architecture. The sneakers come in [two colorway options](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-pewter), featuring a black and blue iteration and a gray and yellow option. The Low Curve Iceman Trimix shoes use a lot of metallic hues and bright tones. Notably, the construction is made up of natural Nappa leather materials alongside [nubuck, nylon mesh, and suede details](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xalp-suede-1).
