A pixelated color-shading is applied to the mudguard, quarter, and heel, taking the sneaker ship into the world of 8-bit retro video games, while the Nike Air logo on the tongue arrives in that intentional low-res form.

Finally, the insoles feature a message in not-so-cryptic code, coral “If you’ve made it this far, go touch grass.”
