Manchester-based label Clints released retro NBA team-inspired sneakers called the TRL Footprints 2.0 'Raptors' that honor the Toronto Raptors. The sneakers follow the team colors of the Toronto Raptors' original uniform, which was in a purple colorway. Previously, the Toronto Raptors switched to a red colorway on their team colors in 2014.
The TRL Footprints 2.0 'Raptors' arrive in a fiber-textured material on the uppers with faint black underlays, along with black suede cages and leather perimeters. There are purple suede accents on the toe boxes, heel, and upper eyelets of the speckled lacing system. Furthermore, the sneakers contain a key chain design that showcases Clints' logo branding in the sneakers' purple color. Additional details include Spike Trail technology on the midsole and Clints Trail sole with extra traction.
