The color palette blends red, white, and blue together, capturing a patriotic energy as well. The running model is entirely crafted from the brand's Flyknit material to deliver comfort and breathability. Notably, the sneakers are woven slightly tighter in order to provide a strong supportive fit in some areas, with it holding the wearer's foot in a looser grip in other areas. The toe box features icy blue hues with white, the heel and the quarter side of the sneakers are a dark heather gray. Red cords cover the midfoot, offering a contrasting hue as well as additional support.
