Streetwear giant Off-White introduces a new pair of the Ridged-Sole Lace-Up sneaker model for the colder seasons. The functional design is spotlighted by the dramatic sole unit. It is a chunky sneaker model that is ready for the trails and offered in two colorway options.

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.
