Its new silhouette gets a signature shade of its iconic [Parakeet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bottega-veneta-5) green palette as well as the additional options of black and sea salt. The shoes are entirely crafted from rubber and have a design detail that is true to the brand's language, with a repetitive selection of five bars that are collected together. It alternates to create a horizontal and vertical layout look throughout the entire closed toe forefoot. The structured look has a curvaceous feel as the opening to the slide is large and has an [ergonomic insole](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1774-line) marked with the brand's branding.
