Gold Metallic covers the leather upper and tooling on this Metallic Pack colorway, coating the eyelets and laces along with the main panels so the shine reads as one continuous surface. The perforated three-row stripe pattern is still there under the metallic finish, along with Stan Smith's sketched portrait on the tongue. A metallic finish is an unusual treatment for a shoe normally sold in flat leather, and it changes how the perforated stripe rows catch light along the side panels.
A Crystal White sole underneath keeps the metallic upper from extending all the way to the ground, giving the pair a lighter base to stand on. It released December 2019 at $80, putting a dressed-up finish on a shoe that has spent most of its run in plain white leather.
