It takes on a more Western design this time around with a light blue denim material wrapping around the upper's heel section. At the underlays, the silhouette is donning a pre-aged brown leather coating in order to provide a vintage feel. Other details that are notable include the tan tongue applied with a corduroy material for a textural look and touch. This section is also complete with removable patches that read 'love' and 'peace.' Otherwise, the shoe is finished with a creamy waxed brown rope shoelacing system over the forefoot that secures the foot in place. Branding is also complete in a cream tone on the Swoosh along the side.
