Every single pair is made using only premium materials and has the quick-fit technology by Suicoke to ensure that it hugs the wearer's foot comfortably. There are the options of two different colorways including beige or olive green, with an open-toe design. The duo also unveil a brand new fastening system named the ATOP LACING SYSTEM. The tension can be adjusted by turning a dial that sits on the forefoot. The shoes have a three layer suede design in light gray, beige, and cream over the upper. Notably, the shoes also have self-deodorizing properties and padded materials for comfort and support.
