A mix of materials is used for the nylon counterparts, which are clad in rugged off-white hues. The nylon counterparts have a vintage finish on the medial side and toe. Additionally, dark blue hues are used to pay homage to the talented Elsesser.
The dark blue color adorns the ankle area and can be seen in the Converse logos. It represents the stage name of the music producer. To honor the music producer, aka skater, their personal details in the form of the golden flower emblem are added to the back of the shoes.
The look of the shoes is completed with the added CONS traction rubber outsoles on the south for long-lasting sneaker use when heading to the skatepark, the studio, or anywhere in between.
