The silhouette is an important shoe in the Los Angeles sneaker culture and an easy choice to highlight. There is a slew of colorways that drop and images now surface of the bright beige iteration. It boasts a different angle than the traditional leather construction as it kicks off with [canvas materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adererror) as the underlaying accent and suede applied throughout as the overlay. Both of these are done up in a light beige before bright red arrives at the Swooshes, the laces, the heel tabs, and the lower throat.
