The update spotlights materials including calfskin leather and suede as well as vibrant laces. The lacing system is detailed with tie-dye accents and the shoe arrives in five colorway updates. All of the tonal options are bright and boasts contrasting hues which are added to bring some emphasis to the padded tongue and overall design. The back of the shoe has "LV Upcycling" by the Monogram florals and more branding accents.
