Manchester-based imprint Clints introduces its Stepper sneaker model in a new tonal palette for the season with the unveiling of the Mocha Brown colorway. It boasts a low-cut silhouette with an upper made from canvas materials for a breathable touch in a cream tonal finish.
There are also buttery suede materials that overlay on top for a textural contrast -- this can be seen detailing the laces, the tongues, and the exposed stitching along with the overlay. The lateral side of the sneaker reads the phrase "Step Correct" and has the brand's logo hanging by the hangtag. Rounding out the chunky dramatic sneakers is a hidden zipped pocket for a playful touch of function to the design.
