The new shoe is offered in two [monochromatic colorway options](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comme-des-garons-homme-x-new-balance-860v2) of either black or white and boasts a construction of textured canvas materials throughout the upper. Most of the sneakers are designed to be minimal. This includes the exclusion of details such as tongue tags and laces, shining a spotlight on an ankle collar strap instead. As a touch of branding on the new shoe, there is a rubber [All Star](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kung-fu-slipon) patch logo that adorns the medial side of the shoe. Rounding it out are rubber toe cap and midsole, and top-stitching.
