The shoe is a technical silhouette with luxury details offered in three colorway options for the season. All of the tonal palettes are finished in a monochrome look with options of black, gray, or white.
It is made using ballistic nylon and suede at the upper. The shoes are also detailed with reflective accents that are made possible due to the application of 3M materials paneling throughout the sneaker. All of this sits on top of a modern tech sole unit and has red branding details by the forefoot for a slight tonal contrast. It is rounded out with an air bubble in the respective hue.
