The Corsair “Jeet Kune Do,” is inspired by the philosophy and martial arts technique of Bruce Lee. Comprised of Black luxurious suede and Navy premium leather, the overall design pays homage to the classic Kung Fu uniform that Bruce Lee and many grandmasters alike have embodied. The Corsair silhouette was chosen for its sleek low profile design, similar to the kung-fu slip-on that Bruce Lee has defeated so many counterparts with. A fierce dragon is engraved across the upper, resembling Bruce Lee’s name, spirit, and year of birth. The heel features a gold debossing of Bruce Lee’s iconic kickman and character name. The insoles are branded with the designated Bruce Lee 75th Anniversary logo. Laces come in black, navy and white, with the tips featuring Bruce Lee’s signature.
