The 64’s 3D ‘N’ logo is honored through the splashed of green, blue, red and yellow throughout, colors which also match the vintage controllers buttons.
The silver tongue pulls rock three small dots — mimicking the control input slot on the console’s front — and the tongues displaying ‘POWER’ on the right and ‘RESET’. on the left — you guessed it, just like the 64. Completing the design is a graphic printed insole styled in an ESRB Game Rating icon and a Nintendo-shaped Air Max motif on the heels.”
