The concept behind the latest iteration is to blend together the two sporty functions. The hue is neutral, resting as the base foundation of the shoe, making up the laces, the leather base, and the [suede overlays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-suede) in a zigzagging pattern. In addition to this, the shoe is also adorned in Pixel Mint details throughout the shoe to mark the Reebok branding on the tongue, the heel, and the forefoot area. Another notable hue is the 'Stucco' color that accents the shoe to round it all out.
