The black and gray for those who prefer a darker silhouette an a honey yellow and beige for a more neutral hue. Both of the options are spray painted at the toe to stay true to the street elements of the brand. Mint and purple detail the eyelets to draw even more attention to the area and it comes with green or red lacing systems and the iconic zip-tie tag to round it out.
