There are two colorways that drop - the first features a palette of white, black, and tobacco brown, and the second features the same hue with a different application. The [all-terrain running sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xa-jungle) are made for the streets with proprietary technology including the XA Pro 3D's notable 3D Advanced Chassis for durability and the All-Terrain Contragrip outsole, rounded out with a reinforced toe cap for protection. It continues on with the EnergyCell high-performance EVA foam unit, custom SensiFit shape, and molded OrthoLite at the insoles for comfort and function.
