The shoes are defined by the bright contrast stripe along the side of the silhouette. This is followed by a pair of the Old Skool Bolt with a lightning bolt motif that is seen extending past the midsole for a dynamic look. Both of the shoes are designed in two colorways starting with a classic olive green camo palette accented with a neon pink detail. The second color is an icy grey that is detailed with a cool blue emblem as the contrasting hue. Both of these are designed with a red tongue with [BAPE's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-and-vans) logo.
