The very top of the shoe is a bold design, with a yellow nylon tongue that is paired with a ripstop pull tab, elastic drawstring, and tonal laces for optimal adjustment. The upper is made from a thick foam that is complete in the Archaeo Brown hue over a clear wrap for a glossy coating. It is entirely accented with branding that nods to 'Air Force 1.' Additional designs include the thin "N. 354" logo that is seen on the swoosh, the white sticker at the heel, and yellow midsoles.
