The focus is specifically on the 70s and the cycling jerseys during that time. As the sportswear label brings life back to its cycling line, it launches two new colorways. The woolen cycling jerseys inspire the [lightweight suede materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hamburg-sneaker-1) making up the sneakers' upper.
