The duo draw influence from the balance that blends both leisure and hard work. The uppers are made from a blend of mixed materials and boasts a tonal palette that highlights darker hues. This includes the blend of [grain leather in brown](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-in-usa-2) and mesh materials in gray, contrasted with vibrant hues of teal in a hexagon infusion, [orange suede materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/action-bronson-x-new-balance-992) and purple at the laces.
