The sneaker is adorned in 'Collegiate Green' and features deep hues of green that are reminded of forests as well as sports culture. The nature-esque color palette adorns the model throughout the paneling uppers, which are constructed from a blend of materials. It features both mesh and nubuck overlaying on top of one another with hints of gray detail as well. As another touch of contrasting sensibilities, the Three Stripes branding accent and the lining is complete in a sharp white hue. The overall colorway is inspired by the brand's Superstar silhouette and the entire footwear sits on top of a Torsion technology rubber outsole foundation.
