The shoe made its original release back in 1982, so this new model continues to celebrate the anniversary milestone of the signature silhouette. This time around, the shoe has a [grey suede material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-suede) that makes up the upper and is marked with colorful stitching details for contrast throughout the shoe. The Swoosh branding can be seen in a simple outline that is made up of blue stitching as three purple stitches create an 'X' on the forefoot section. Branding then appears around the toe box, the sock lining, heel, and tongue. It all rests on top of a gum sole unit to round it all out.
