range is inspired by trek themes


Explanation:
The latest range is inspired by trek themes and takes on a sustainable angle.

It is made for the outdoors.

To put a spin on = to alter, to interpret smrh in a beneficial way, see Collins dictionary link below.

So in essence Givenchy reinterpreted (changed) their classic Cruz shoe by adding some element inspired by trek themes, the outdoor lifestyle.
