Metallic finishes are unusual on this model and this makeup builds around one. Black leather covers the upper, Dark Grey is layered in for depth on the overlays, and Metallic Red Bronze, a warm copper, is applied to the branding, where it picks up light against an otherwise matte shoe. The effect depends on restraint. Used across a whole panel the bronze would turn gaudy; confined to the logos and small trim it reads as jewelry on a plain surface.
A white midsole cuts the dark upper off at the base, the one hard break in an otherwise gradual palette. This is the High cut, sized for grade school and priced at $95, which is roughly two thirds of what an adult Retro High cost in the same period. It released on June 29, 2018.
