It has an upper constructed from full neoprene all across along with a matching TPU cage, plastic mudguards, and some textural contrast at the leather heel overlaying accents. A small branded Swoosh can be seen right under the double-stitched collars along with the 'Vm' motif that can be seen at the insole and the heel counter. Additionally, the shoes have a nylon pull tab on the heel for easy wearing and have a vertical branding on the tongue reading "Air VaporMax Plus." It all sits on top of the [light blue wavy foam midsole](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signal-blue) and the clear VaporMax Air sole unit.
