The trail sneakers have Toe Protect overlays to add a sturdy touch to the shoe when going through rough outer terrain. It also has a metal eyelet addition that can be seen by the ankles and laces to feature a rope form for a durable touch. The signature trail palette can also be seen in alignment with its dusty hue lines as the suede overlays are designed in rosy pink by the laces, heel windows, and collars. Beige is seen by the lower heel panel and lilac makes up the N logo.
