This sneaker features a largely neutral colorway complete with subtle red accents that give the sneaker a modern, technological look.

The only colored accents for the Infrared are in a bold red color on the eyestay, insole, and inside of the tongue. Additionally, there is a red Jump Man logo on the front of the tongue. This sneaker also combines comfort with fashion by incorporating a mesh material in the eyestay, behind the eyelets, and in the toe vamp.
