The shoe is available in either a fusion of black, Chalk White, and red or Clear Brown, red, and black. The Notoma nods to the [iconic Torsion-equipped sole unit foundation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-and-y3) that made its original debut back in September last year. The sandals also have a [chunky silhouette overall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platformstyle-sandals), with a curved look at the top and a large midsole foundation. The upper is constructed from a blend of suede, mesh, and foam that makes up the [open sidewall section](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gt2160-sandal), the heel area, and the toe box. The laces are a notable component of the silhouette, with laces that run down the padded mesh tongue with straps hold them in place to connect down with the midsole.
