The silhouette is defined by its reptilian texture that can be seen at the base foundation and this is further decorated with a [suede tan material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suede-mocha) making up its overlays. The Swoosh branding emblem is applied with a canvas material and accents the panel. More branding is found at the insoles and tongue tag, continued at the Nike heel logo in a debossed application. The silhouette rests on top of a white midsole base and a tan tonal outsole. The tan laces match the palette and round out the cohesive sneaker model.
