This is one of the more built-up versions of the model. The knit textile upper is reinforced rather than left bare: the Three Stripes are TPU rather than welded fabric, the seams are covered, and the eyestays are finished in a heavier material, all of which adds structure to a silhouette usually defined by how little of it there is.
A pull tab carrying branding in two languages sits under a semi-transparent badge at the heel, layering one detail over another instead of placing them side by side. Colour is handled with restraint: Cloud White takes the upper and most of the shoe, and Vapour Pink, a muted dusty shade, is reserved for the EVA inserts supporting the Boost midsole, so the only real colour on the shoe sits at ankle height and below. An extended rubber outsole runs beneath the foam. It debuted in August 2019 at $170.
