The new 'Pineapple' offering consists of several shades of yellow. The sneaker features suede overlays in a golden skin color meant to represent the spikes on a pineapple, while the shoe's toeboxes and Swooshes arrive in pale yellow hue. Meanwhile, the sneakers quarters and collars are styled with a added yellow, which most accurately reflects the color of the fruit.

Meanwhile, the 'Cherry' version of the sneaker comes in a much darker tone consisting of saturated reds. This shoes also comes equipped with suede overlays, which rest atop a cherry-red midfoot.
