Inspired by the orange Bush Viper of Central and West Africa. The Bush Viper ambushes its prey by hanging down from trees and bushes, using its poisonous venom to subdue other animals. This features an all-over orange and gold design with a rubberized snakeskin upper and orange electroplated plates. The aglets on the laces are also green as a nod to the green eyes of the snake.
