Several additional details portray further tributes to Robinson and his legacy. There’s a patch on the tongue’s pull-tab bearing the number “42”—Robinson’s jersey number. On the insole are patches promoting Jackie Robinson Day on 15 April 2024 to further highlight Robinson’s accomplishments.

Other details include metallic eyelets and dubrae. Completing the entire aesthetic and providing a celebratory aura are two sets of laces which have gold tips.
