Product features: Cupsole construction Sidewall stitching Geo-Merged upper treatment Panelled black suede uppers Sports cushioned footbed Padded nylon tongue Putty leather S-Strike panel Pearl S-Strike features our cupsole construction and is inspired by court-sport sneakers placed on SWC iconic proportions and silhouette. The cupsole construction provides various advantages to the vulcanised construction. 20% lighter weight Reduced rubber and energy consumption Increased cushioning Increased wear and longevity This silhouette has undergone our Geo-Merged treatment, creating a unique look and feel by visually softening the uppers. This process, using vesicular volcanic rocks, creates depth as natural and technical materials react differently, gently weathering bold colours and evening out contrasts for subtly unique characteristics. This is a natural process using no water, no harmful chemicals or manual finishing to fake a 'vintage' or 'worn' look ensuring authenticity.
