Visually, the shoe seems to be resting on a spikey base foundation for a bold design language and dynamic look. It also appears to come in two colorway palettes so far with an all-black or all-white iteration, with a [mule structure to slip on](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-balance-530-mules).
