The luxe design is a part of the campaign inspired by gardening purposes highlighting its collaborative project with Duncan Grant as well. The Paris-based fashion house unveils the design by Thibo Denis that stems from a [futuristic design angle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-available-1). It has the classic Cannage design that is inspired by cane chairs and functions similarly to an [exoskeleton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoskyn) to showcase the elements inside. Due to this, the shoe is lightweight and has a thick insole at the base. The colorway options include mint green, white, pink, and black with contrasting uppers externally complete with a lot of cushioning.
