The latest update draws inspiration from the original, which was debuted back in 1996. The update takes on a Fresh Foam Vibram midsole foundation and offers the [MegaGrip](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trailgrip-apex2-gtx) outsole for maximized comfort, durability, as well as grip. The three colorway options that arrive this season include tan, white, or green and black, blending together urban design language with outdoor-ready sensibilities. The [tan colorway is earthy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olive-and-black) with a mesh upper and mudguard made from synthetic leather materials. The white colorway is detailed with some hints of blue and pink for a subtle contrast element. The green and black colorway is minimal with some blue and purple details by the laces.
