Offering enhanced ankle support for full day walking, the Novesta Star Dribble 99 Shoes in Beige/Transparent update the classic high top trainer profile with traditional European craftsmanship. Constructed from heavy organic cotton canvas, this durable shoe addresses the issue of flimsy high tops by vulcanising its clear rubber tread directly to the upper without chemical glues. The neutral beige canvas hue anchors your casual wardrobe, making this pair easy to match with cargo trousers, cropped chinos, or turn up denim.
