It features an archival web print throughout the uppers, which are also constructed from canvas materials for a soft finish. This is blended with some touches of suede materials in order to give the sneaker a familiar structure across the heel, the Jazz stripe, and the toe box. These accents are adorned in lime green and purple -- the green area features a slime drip to correlate to the theme.
