It is detailed with spring-ready tones for a palette that honors [pastel hues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easter-colorway-1). The inspiration is directly from the adorable Visty creature. It features a mint green with baby blue palette which is applied on materials including smooth suede and the classic mesh panel. This is followed by soft yellow and pink that can be seen applied onto the laces over the forefoot, the collar, and the Swoosh branding accent. Ishod Wair's name is also seen by the lacing system as a nod to the [skateboarder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asparagus-colorway) and a touch that marks his second signature Nike sneaker.
