Kids' colourways get more latitude than adult ones, and Black Multi uses it in the least risky way available: keep the shoe dark and let a scatter of colours do the work on the details. The upper is black from toe to collar, including the welded Three Stripes, so nothing in the base scheme competes with the accents.
Because those accents are multiple rather than single, the shoe changes character depending on which part of it you are looking at. That is a different effect from the one-accent formula this model usually runs, where a single bright colour repeats at fixed points. It released June 28, 2019 at $120, in the middle of the kids' price band for the silhouette. Everything structural stays put: the full-length Boost midsole, the inserts moulded into its sidewall, the sock-like collar that pulls on over the ankle, the branded heel tab and the segmented rubber outsole underneath.
