This time around, the shoe gets two new colorway updates and to stay true to its original debut, it will only be available in Japan. both of the iterations rest on a plush suede foundation of navy blue. The difference lies in the accenting details as the first option boasts baby blue accents in the form of leather stripes, the tongue's branding and a matching heel tab. The same follows on the second colorway but in a yellow accenting detail.
