The silhouette made its original debut back in 2001 and has since features a plethora of updates and research. The colorway this time around celebrates the interchangeable seasons as the upper is made from [technical mesh materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xtwhisper). Notably, the design spotlights an asymmetrical look with black at the lateral side of the shoe contrasted by hits of dark purple throughout the medial side of the silhouette. These selection of dark hues are meant to represent the long winter nights and summer nights full of stars. The sole unit boasts an EVA midsole foundation to offer cushioning and comfort.
