New materials replace old structure

The upcoming model removes the traditional raised TPU overlay found on previous versions. Instead, the shoe uses ridged leather panels that mimic stitching patterns from classic soccer boots. This change updates the silhouette while keeping the original wavy lines of the design.

Colorway features purple and green

The release includes accents in purple and green alongside a dedicated badge on the tongue. The color scheme continues a theme seen across other soccer-related projects starting early 2025. Buyers can expect to find the pair through Nike and select retailers.
