It features Flyknit materials along with a suede heel tab that is marked with embroidered branding. His initials of R.K.K. is seen printed along the steel lace dubraes. Additional details include the Super Bowl Trophy motif in a metallic touch on the tongue tabs. Rounding out the look is the red accenting line wrapping around the top of the midsole base and dual tonal rubber outsole.
