This colorway served as 1 of 2 launch colorways for the Impact FLX: a totally new training shoe project. Core Black engineered mesh base meets a Team Solar Orange synthetic suede mudguard with Team Semi Solar Green accents. The storytelling was meant to evoke the hard work mentality of grueling gym sessions.
Dedicated to the “first person in, last person out,” this design pays homage to the early bird who gets the worm 🐛 The monarch caterpillar served as the main source of inspiration.
