The award-winning rapper describes the innovative shoe as a synergy of colors representing the ocean, the earth, and the sky. "You can literally break down each color. The bottom — the ocean — water, which makes us up. Then it's the earth, the terra. Then you have another layer of the copper."

Bronson continued, "That’s the electricity that infuses everything that lies underneath the layers. Then you have the electricity in the sky — that neon green, the lightning. Then you have the grey — original New Balance structure and soul as something planetary, the moon."

The rapper's energy for the shoe is palpable. Earlier this week, fans were treated to a 25-second promotional video on the official Action Bronson YouTube account. The video was aptly titled "The future in foot transportation is here."
