Colorway Description
The “Black/White” scheme combines a dark, stealthy black upper — from the Shield outer textile to the overlays and outsole — with crisp white accents on midsole detailing, branding, or outsole segments. This high-contrast palette preserves a minimalist aesthetic while still offering a visually striking two-tone look. The result is a versatile sneaker that fits seamlessly with streetwear, casual outfits, or functional outdoor attire, and remains understated enough for everyday wear.

• Traction-Focused Rubber Outsole: Designed to improve grip on wet or slippery surfaces, enhancing stability and safety when walking or running in rain-soaked environments. 
• Breathable & Moisture-Wicking Interior: Helps manage internal moisture, reducing sweat build-up and keeping feet relatively dry and comfortable even in variable weather.

Cleaning Instructions
1. Remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush or cloth before cleaning.

3. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove mud or grime.
4. Air-dry naturally at room temperature; avoid heat sources or direct sunlight which can damage waterproof linings or adhesives.
5. Store in a cool, dry place; use shoe trees or stuffing paper when storing long-term to help maintain shape and waterproof integrity.
