Inspired by the El Grito de Dolores, the famous call to action by Father Miguel Hidalgo on September 16, 1810, this sneaker pays tribute to Mexico’s fight for freedom. The sail leather upper is intricately laser-etched with cultural symbols on the heel panel, tongue, and mudguard. The laces feature custom lace tags that read "VIVA," and the lacelocks incorporate red and green accents, honoring the colors of Mexico’s flag.
