The same color can also be seen continued at the Corteiz logos by the lateral heels and forefoot section. Alcatraz-themed accents can be seen detailing the tongues and the Swoosh logo. Similar to the past shoes, there are camouflage patterns in the interiors and insoles in drag olive and brown for a militaristic theme. The shoes are set to drop on April 15th.
