The crisp tonal look is perfect for the summer season and is essentially an updated variation of the classic Hot Step. The shoes are made from synthetic leather materials along the upper with reflective accents for a subtle contrast. This can be seen in the form of a small Swoosh branding on the side. Other details include the textile webbing that is used for lace lockdown sounded out by a NOCTA signature sock lining and visible air unit heel. It rests on top of a solid rubber outsole that is decorated with custom NOCTANORTH stars further supported by G-TEK outsole technology.
