It was first seen during the Spring/Summer 2024 show by AURALEE at Paris Fashion Week. It appears to be a brand new original design and has a wavy futuristic look that differentiates from the [Boston imprint's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boston-bone-patterm) usual look. The shoes are made from a [clean mesh base foundation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1906r-cordura) that allows for breathability and is finished with suede for a soft feel. It rests on top of a midsole that is constructed from two pieces that appear to be either foam or rubber. THe branding on the lateral side of the shoe appears to be made from mesh to round it out.
