Differentiation is achieved by shifting the aesthetic from a pure running shoe to a versatile urban sneaker. The use of a structured knit upper with stylish suede overlays gives it a more refined, lifestyle-oriented look. A dual-density midsole can be marketed as offering a unique "balanced" cushioning experience for the varied demands of city life. The outsole tread is specifically designed for urban traction, and the product can be offered in more fashion-forward, earth-toned, or monochromatic colorways to appeal to the style-conscious consumer.
