The shoe is made from suede materials throughout the upper for a soft feel and it is then detailed with an abstract design that is influenced by the look of brush strokes. Branding details can be seen in the form of a black Jumpman logo that is seen on the suede tongue over the forefoot section. More details include the slightly clear netting detail and the iconic clear lace locks. A touch of contrast can be seen added by the [metallic silver trimmings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1-low-method-of-make-v3) that are marked on the shark teeth seen by the lateral side of the shoe.
