Summit White textiles and meshes, as well as light blue gridded nylon materials, dominate the upper for a sleek base. Eyelets on the exaggerated lacestays and the profile Swoosh decals are in a contrasting navy that still maintains the model’s overall everyday-friendly aesthetic. A light ghost green stripe above the midsole acts as another muted shade to carry out the aforementioned theme.

Black rubber with a unique pattern underfoot adds traction and completes the women’s exclusive.
