Underneath the leather are the knit bootie, heel tab, and laces, all in the same Footwear White color. As for the midsole of the shoes, which has a wavy pattern and a ribbed effect all over. They are in the Warm Vanilla shade.

Because of the leather upper and rippled design, the signature three Adidas stripes are not featured on the sides of the shoes. However, take a look at the heel of the sneakers, below the Harden logo, you will see three familiar stripes.
