Japan-based label visvim introduces new colorways of its classy Roland Jogger sneaker for the Spring 2019 series. The footwear model arrives in four new tonal options that are suitable for the warmer weather upon us. The overarching design language is centered in muted hues, delivering a foundation base of off-white and gray throughout the new options.
As a contrasting touch, there are hits of red and blue throughout the options to add a more captivating aura to the silhouette. Additionally, the side of the sneaker boasts a patch detail as well, which nods to Americana design aesthetics. The uppers are constructed from polyester mesh accented with leather overlays over the toe area, the hell, and the side, all sitting atop a Vibram outsole. The interiors are lined with cow leather and the midsoles are made from ultra-light EVA Phylon to deliver lightweight elements.
