Presenting a trio of streamlined, dynamic styles, the sneakers are crafted in Italy from black and pearl-hued leather, along with glistening crocodile-embossed leather. Mesh, embroidery and technical details all feature on the upper parts of the sneaker, layered with fine calf leather.

The introduction of a glossy lime green sole gives the sneakers a conspicuous glow, framing the sophisticated shape of the sneaker. The instantly recognisable Givenchy emblem is rendered in a more precise form, furnished along the side of the sneaker.
