Four colors are in play and they are distributed unevenly on purpose. Barely Grey and white cover almost everything, Frosted Spruce fills the Swoosh with a soft mint green, and Laser Fuchsia is dotted around the collar trim, the lace loop and the reversed tongue, where a small amount of a loud color does more than a whole panel would.
What is interesting is how much of the original shoe survives underneath the spring styling. The stabilizing heel panel is intact, as are the overlays at the eyestay, the midfoot and the mudguard, which are the pieces that gave the 1985 design its structure. This is a grade school pair, cut low and priced at $75. It released in March 2019, timed to the seasonal run rather than to any anniversary or retro program.
