It is detailed with striking details throughout the entire upper as the base has a clear build that is meant to capture the message of vulnerability and acceptance. The shoe is also marked with Bold Green stripes for a touch of contrast as 'Creamy White' decorates the interior lining and the heel sections. Suede materials are seen overlaying on top of the shoe by the lower back section and around the toe box to create a brighter touch along with the grey exterior. All of this sits on top of a gum mold base foundation as Green's logo is printed on the lateral heel.
