The long history of new iterations of the continues on with these latest creations, the “Mono Weave” pack. Like the moniker of the set quite literally suggests, the Chuck is featured in monochromatic woven uppers. The four shoe collection includes the high and low top versions of the iconic sneaker in woven textile uppers in your choice of black or white.
