Padded Insulated Footwear

The North Face Japan Creates tthe Nupsi Traction Light Mock IV

— November 11, 2019 — Fashion
The North Face Japan introduces its new Nupsi Traction Light Mock IV shoe that is prepared for the winter season in a cozy manner. The slip-on silhouette is constructed with thermal padding and a nylon shell in order to deliver water-repelling elements.

The colorway options include yellow, white, red, black, and purple and each one is equipped with quilted uppers. To comfortable secure the shoes are a set of drawstrings for adjustment purposes, sealing in the heat during the wintertime. The insulation technology is provided by its own Thermolite Eco-Made component. The shoe features elastic collars that are paired with pull tabs across the forefoot and the heel. The mudguards and the toe cap are constructed from a rugged canvas material and the midsoles are ergonomically backed with extra grip.
