A soft black suede dresses the upper, setting the tone for the colorway. The outward-facing Swooshes are large and tonal, with an outline of white stitching for emphasis. The medial-side Swooshes are completely outlined with embroidery and feature vertical lines of varying stitches. Perforations, meanwhile, speckle both sides of the shoe, giving the appropriate amount of breathability to handle plays under pressure.
A concealed 360-degree zonal cabling system, which works in tandem with the low-to-the-ground Zoom Air, gives any wearer — young or … less young — the stability and the agility without the weight. A carbon fiber plate, meanwhile, helps with propulsion on the paint.
The heel counter and back portion of the midsole include the iridescent glow and otherworldly mystique of a Tahitian pearl. Amorphous grey stitching creates an oyster-shell-like shape at the heel, with an XXI at the bottom center. Dark grey dresses the shoe’s midsole, grounded by a semi-translucent green outsole featuring finely tuned traction patterns. A mesh and leather tongue give way to a silky sockliner, nicely rounding out this dynamic sneaker package.
