Sea Spray is the whole point of this one: a soft, slightly greyed aqua suede that sits closer to sea glass than to a true pastel blue, cut across both quarters by the True White leather stripe. White laces and a white foxing tape around the sole keep the contrast crisp, and the tonal stitching stops the panelling from breaking the colour up. Against the usual navy and black options in the line, it is a summer-weight choice that still works with denim.
The VR3CUSH midsole is what separates this build from a standard pair, sitting under the same low-profile, lace-up shape with its padded collar and reinforced toe. It carried a $90 price when it arrived on September 24, 2024, a small premium over the regular $70 to $75 tier. Light suede in this shade shows dirt quickly along the toe bumper, so it rewards a protectant spray early rather than a deep clean later.
