[The Row](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-goods-collection) introduces the new [Owen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ace-paloma-cocktail) runner that is made to be versatile and comfortable for all-day wearing. It is constructed from a blend of both mesh and suede materials throughout the entire silhouette and notably, the shoe is crafted in Italy.

The upper has technical soft mesh specifically and calfskin suede for a premium feel -- there is minimally overlaying in a light tan hue. It comes in a Mint colorway as the midsole is detailed with white accents along with cream and light and dark brown colors as well. The foundation of the shoe is a rubber-treaded sole unit that is done in a bright green. A similar green can be seen balancing the shoe at the top as well.
