Durable Element-Resistant Sneakers

These New Stussy Shoes are Mostly Made from Rubber and Nylon

With the brand looking to expand on its offerings of high-function apparel, a fresh pair of Stussy shoes were unveiled.

Drawing from military styles, the high-top lace-ups are outfitted with olive rubber. This protective covering extends over most of the toes and stretches down to the soles and up the sides and the heel of the uppers as well. The rest of the upper is constructed from nylon, with continues the water-resistant theme while offering the silhouette a bit more contrast.

Although the olive rubber and nylon stays consistent throughout the collection of Stussy shoes, the laces can be altered for a unique look. For those looking to keep a neutral aesthetic, military green laces are offered. However for those looking to spice up the subtle colorway, bright blue laces can alternatively be tied in.
