A follow-up to the two’s minimalist , sporty and smoky from 2021, the three-pack of new kicks imagines the AURALEE FW22 palette in a fashion that’s equal parts luxury and sport.
Rich chocolate brown, icy cobalt blue and a sunny mixture of pastel yellow and tan were the three colour schemes chosen, with each model featuring a suede-and-leather construction. The brown and pastel yellow pairs opt for sleek shorthair suede while the cobalt blue iteration instead equips shaggy longhair suede for extra texture, but all three feature the same forked toebox, large midfoot N logo and rubberized external heel counter.
