Luxury fashion house [Givenchy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bucket-handbag) introduces two new tonal iterations of the signature Marshmallow footwear model for the season. It continues with the Monumental style sneaker and a new iteration of the Graffiti style sneaker to join for the warmer times.

Kicking off with the Monumental, it has a design that blends together hues of white, tan, and beige for a neutral look creating a slight camouflage graphic wrapping around the shoe. It also retains the original design of the Mallow series with a [laceless look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megalaced-mule). The shoe also references the 80s for a touch of retro inspiration, arriving in the form of graffiti details that mark up most of the shoe. It carefully secures the foot with a [sock-like fit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-slipon-sneaker) and circular ankle opening.
