The shoes are designed in a color palette that spotlights cream white and purple as the dominant hues before it is decorated with a bright hit of rainbow tones by the rubber outsole that lines the full-length BOOST midsole foundation. Additional details can be seen at the hi-vis borrowed from the YEEZY SLIDE Glow Green hue by the leather heel tab. It is followed by hues of orange, green, blue, and red by the D-ring eyelets to create a stark tongue. It's rounded out by etches of love hearts, gender icons, and colorful logos.
