Simply dubbed the 'Hiker,' the silhouette comes in an all-white or all-black upper. The shoe boasts a low-cut top and one of the most noticeable features is the lacing system which is compromised of D-rings and quick lace eyelets. The style of Oliver Cabell's chic outdoor sneakers takes cues from [hiking shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amoeba). This has been a popular source of inspiration for many footwear designers and it might point to a desire to infuse the [urban environment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-acg-mountain-fly-2-low-goretex) with hints of adventure.
