British streetwear label [Clints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasis-sneaker) has announced that it will be expanding its '[Stepper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-cold)' sneaker line with the launch of the 'Rio Pack,' which will consist of two new colorways: 'Blue/Aqua' and 'Green/Mustard.' In addition, the collection will include apparel items, all of which will leverage colors from the [classic Brazilian flag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orketro-brazil).

Aside from the new colorways, the Stepper sneakers maintain the original model's silhouette. They still arrive with a low-slung design, canvas uppers, and embroidered text reading 'Step Correct' on their lateral sides. What's more, the sneakers also bring back the built-in zip-up pocket and extra-thick tongues.

For those interested, the entire collection -- sneakers and apparel -- is set to be released on July 10 and will be available to purchase on Clint's website.
