The classic sneaker model is made from a blend of both mesh and suede materials throughout the shoe's upper. It has the N logo on the lateral side of the sneaker. The heel sections apply grey detailing in leather materials for a textural contrast against the royal blue suede base foundation. The grey can also be seen by the dual tonal midsole as it all sits on top of a black rubber outsole foundation. Additionally, on the lateral side of the shoe is a touch of branding that reads miniature "2002r" in a light palette.
