The suede upper provides the warmth and comfort needed for cold weather. Satin laces and tongue adds a soft, comfortable fit. The physical softness of the materials also makes the shoe visually soft and warm as well.
The subtle floral pattern embossed on the heel counter is a sophisticated reminder of youthfulness and natural beauty. The use of patent leather helps to accentuate the pattern while also adding playfulness.
Brightly colored eyelets at the top of the collar add a nice pop to the monochromatic color scheme.
Conceptually, the shoe needed to feminine but also vulcanized. This was a rare and difficult proposition. High-fashion wedges, flats, and heels were great starting points for gathering inspiration for soft, flowing patterns. Vulcanized shoes, cupsoles, and outdoor shoes were referenced for their bold and tough qualities. The combination of these resources formed a strong balance between style and strength.

Fila W DB High
The W DB High is the female specific counterpart to the DB High. It was important for girls and women to have a shoe designed for them so that they could have their own expression of individuality and uniqueness. This style incorporates all of the comfort from the original, such as the injection phylon outsole, while drawing on slightly more feminine styling.
