Appearance
The Gold Hi-Horses are a pair of shiny gold hi-tops with black laces and soles. They have a large black version of Zink's logo on the side as well as a small white logo on the black tongue of the Gold Hi-Horses. They also appear to be slightly bigger in the exterior than most other shoes, though they do not affect the wearer's height.
