Luxury-focused independent footwear brand Oliver Cabell announces the release of a pair of slick and beautifully crafted outdoor sneakers that are exceptionally durable and incredibly stylish. 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.

Thus, the outdoor sneakers are marked by a sense of functionality, as well as immense aesthetic value. They are offered to consumers at $198 USD.
