The sleeker, more streamlined Lynx sports the nostalgic grey and orange colorway, but has been updated with the newest technology. It has a Super Suede™ TPU backed upper, a sandwich mesh tongue and vent holes for breathability, an internal mesh sleeve for the most comfortable fit, and an abrasion resistant rubber outsole. Different colorway combinations will be released every season for the rest of 2014. For more information, please visit www.dcshoes.com/lynxs.
