Strap in because this is a wild shoe to behold. Starting at the toe, you'll notice the mudguard is a mix of creamy tan and black plaid. Then, at the forefoot, this switches to a red and green plaid that's almost Christmas-y.
Along the side panels is a more traditional black and white plaid. It surrounds the black side panel netting on each side. The tongue eschews the plaid look of the rest of the shoe in favor of a chevron-like black-and-white pattern.
The padded ankle reverts back to the tan plaid from the toe. The heel overlay also reuses the forefoot's green and red plaid.
As if those weren’t enough cozy touches, the collar and tongue backing look to be made of navy flannel, which is sure to keep your child's feet nice and toasty during outdoor adventures.
Of course, this shoe doesn't skip on traditional branding. You'll see a bright orange Jumpman embroidered on the tongue, along with matching laces and a clear lace toggle. The orange insole features a black Jumpman, while the heel has another orange embroidered one.
All of this rests on a black midsole mated to a black and translucent outsole.
We think this shoe would look absolutely stunning with a pair of simple jeans and a matching plaid. The good news is, there are so many kinds of plaid in this shoe that you shouldn't have to look far to find a shirt that matches.
