It's bliss underfoot.“Designed to provide a sense of revitalization, this four style collection is crafted around the balance between patterning created by natural elements and man-made lines and textures,†says product designer Ron Powell. “The result is a collection that offers beautiful organics, very refined, tailored looks or an elegant combination of the two.â€Designed for commercial environments, Flex & Yield’s dense construction uses 100 percent Eco Solution Q premium branded nylon.
