Titled the Omni-Racer, the offering boasts a handmade construction and arrives in two distinct colorways – “Saffron” and “Meranti.” The former is limited to 400 pairs and sees deep yellow nubuck overlays lying atop a cream mesh base. Hits of beige are well received on the tongues, medials and heels, while vivid blue pops on the tongue logos and a kangaroo outline peeks through the sides.
The “Meranti” colorway delivers a more muted approach, featuring brown suede overlays, contrasting cream panels and black detailing that accompany dashes of “Wasabi Green.” Only 100 pairs will be produced.
Both sneakers are individually numbered and packaged in exclusive boxing with custom artwork that matches the insoles.
