"The "Cool Grey / Sundial" iteration presents a fresh take on the classic silhouette, combining subdued and vibrant color schemes to create a balanced yet eye-catching aesthetic. The upper features a gradient of grey hues, highlighting the shoe's distinctive wavy paneling, reminiscent of the human anatomy concept that the original designer, Sergio Lozano, famously drew from."
