The goal was to create a light weight packable vacation shoe for the guy who doesn't want to wear man-sandals.  A leather woven material inspired by a Henry Cuir woven bag makes the shoe slightly collapsible.  This was also the first Chuck Taylor to be combined with Nike technology, the outsole/midsole is Lunarlon making this weigh almost nothing.  There is a natural white herringbone/twill cotton tape or binding used to finish the woven.
