The South Korea-based label makes a noticeable modification to the construction of its forthcoming team-up. Instead of utilizing its traditional leather and suede panels, it employs a canvas material that’s drenched in a dark brown hue to make up a majority of the base layer’s real estate. Lace loops match up with glossy brown finishes while solid black accents sit adjacent and drop off on the laces, cracked leather “N†logos, interior liners and “thisisneverthat†branding that is embroidered into the heels. Furthermore, a call-out to the streetwear brand also appears on the tongue banners in tonal fashion.
More information regarding this pair’s official release will likely pop up in the coming months.
