The sneaker is predominantly inspired by the brand's signature Torsion technology. This is the first time that the sportswear brand has directly drawn inspiration like such. The signature Shock Cyan and Bright Yellow hues make up the new shoe's colorway. The upper is made from a weaving mesh material that gives it a [technical grid pattern](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xtwhisper). On the side of the shoe, there is the Three Stripes made using webbing and carbon components at the ZX heel cage. The heel tab is done in black and yellow, which is also crafted from webbing. The upper is entirely in Bright Yellow and the laces are tonally matched as well.
