The partnered footwear range centers upon the most-favored MRL247 silhouette, which culls design cues from the M1300JP, NB998 and NB576 variants. As far as the color scheme goes, the offering sees a seamless assortment of orange, brown, grey and navy hues. Moreover, the sneaker is constructed out of mesh/suede textiles alongside a striking urban visual which is embellished on the insole shot by photographer Keita Suzuki.
