The Urban Fighter is made for night-run in the cities. Its silhouette is inspired by animal black panther with eager shape cutout and bright neon colors from big city.

It is designed with dual lacing system, cycling speed dial on the right and metal cord lock on the left, which replaced regular shoe lace, to shorten the time wasted on tying shoes also with the ability to make different adjustments to make it most comfortable to wear.

The material used are mostly recycled from secondhand clothings and shoes, with 3D printed outsole.
