The Wheat edition rounds out the set with a palette that feels instantly seasonal and grounded. The golden suede overlays, already dramatic in their jagged construction, take especially well to warm tones.
Instead of leaning into the rugged outdoor boot clichés Wheat pairs often fall into, this one strikes a softer balance. It looks like a lifestyle sneaker first, with the Gore-Tex lining simply making it more dependable through unpredictable months.
The layered design helps the colour come alive. Lighter Wheat shades catch the edges of the distressed panels, while deeper caramel tones settle into the underlays, creating a warm gradient without forcing anything heavy-handed.
It’s the most expressive entry in the trio, yet also the easiest to dress thanks to the grounding effect of the midsole’s neutral tones. When the weather cools and most rotations start leaning earthy anyway, this becomes the pair that slots in naturally.
