Same silhouette. New finish.
Verdict in rust takes the Vanquish shape you know and turns up the intensity. A muted rust tone croc-effect upper layered over DTM mesh, with lace-up detailing and sculpted cutouts that frame the foot and ankle. The profile is sharp, cage-style, built to feel secure and responsive, so you can move fast, stay stable, and keep your lines clean.
Finished on a 4" heel for a long, lifted line, with an indoor / outdoor resin sole that moves clean across studio floors and holds up on harder surfaces. Inside, gel-cushioned insoles add comfort and shock absorption so you can train, rehearse, and film without feeling wrecked.
Also available in "Merlot" colourway here

Important note
If your order was placed using a quantity promotion, like buy two pairs and save on the second, any refund is calculated on the amount you paid for the returned item at the discounted price, not the full retail price.
Example: If you bought two pairs and got 50% off the second, and you return that second pair, your refund reflects the discounted price you actually paid for it.
