The palette features hues of bright pink yellow, and orange. In terms of the construction, it is crafted with soft suede paired with premium leather and mesh for a touch of breathability. Prepared for the warmer season ahead, the silhouette has a chunky hybrid model resting on top of a cream midsole unit and bright yellow outside at the base. The 'N' branding is seen on the medial side of the shoe in white for a pop of contrast -- this follows the inner lining and laces with orange branding at the tongue to match the heel.
