A diverse material range enhances the offering, which promotes black textured leather overlays that dominate the uppers. The previous makes its way through the mudguards, medials, and around the heel counters, the latter decorated with 1500 embroidery in a silver tone. Tonal tweed adds a fuzzy finish to the toe boxes, while “Magnet Grey” leather trimmings settle on the collars and liners. Profile “N” logos receive a three-dimensional finish and a contrasting grey outline next to leather tongues that promote “MADE IN ENGLAND” branding.
