The shoe is covered in low-top grey suede and has a padded textile collar and a smooth leather lining on the toe box. The contrasting blue embellishments on the braided tongue tag break up the polished one-note finish. A cracked leather "N" logo and misaligned ALD and NB logos on the rear heel are additional branding cues. The sneaker has an exposed EVA wedge on the medial side and is supported by a cream-colored rubber cup sole.
