[Givenchy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mask-fit-red-cushion) has unveiled the 'Reflective Rubber' and 'Shiny Rubber' colorways for its 'Monumental Mallow' sneaker line. The Monumental Mallow sneakers feature a unique [monochromatic design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-90-usa) that resembles a shoe wrapped in a shiny nylon material. The shoes are ultra-minimalist with only a few subtle markings on the toe vamp, heel, and midsole to accentuate the body of the shoe.

The Reflective Rubber colorway wraps the entire shoe in a chromatic silver material, while the Shiny Rubber colorway opts for a [metallic golden material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1906l-2). The Shiny Rubber colorway features a hue of darker "sand" colors that make the shoe appear weathered and vintage. The two new Monumental Mallow sneakers are available now at Givenchy's online store for $900 CAD or $695 USD.
