The sneaker rests on a grey and white midsole supporting nicely crafted upper. The upper is built in mesh, leather, and suede with grey and black dominating the color combo. Purple accents subtly used on the laces, collar area, tongue, and stitching on the toe. The Swoosh features grey speckled concrete look, a direct reference to the fall of the Berlin Wall. The kicks also read "Berlin 89" on the heel and insole.
