The sneaker features a fully waterproof design that's still able to maintain a breathable profile thanks to the GORE-TEX used in the lining. The rubber outsole will provide enhanced traction, while a series of reflective elements throughout enhance the visibility of the wearer when outdoors in low-lit scenarios.
