The Kyanite color is a royal blue mineral that can be found in metamorphic rocks. This is the main hue that details the shoe, applied in a wavy pattern across the side paneling from the from all the way to the back. Accompanying this are some black and gray details for a contrast. Black details make up the interior lining and the throat. The gray hue makes up the mesh paneling that rests right above the midsole.
