It is set to launch officially on April 16th and the silhouette has a starting price of $160 USD. The silhouette dons hues of silver, cream, gray, and black. The base of the model has a mesh build which ensures its effortless breathability and then it is detailed with grey and silver on top. The reflective detail makes its way to the overlays, covering the edge, the heel unit, and the bridge section of the model. Rounding out the shoe are the black piping and more heel overlays to add contrast. It all rests on top of the N-ERGY sole unit in a cream tone.
