This black and navy version takes the Classic look and brings up a notch, allowing the twin shimmer of black and navy to breathe new life into the shoe. Reinforced toe caps, supportive padded colors, and the signature rubber waffle outsoles take care of the practical side, while the color speaks for itself.
