Floral is a motif that connects most of the detailing on the pair. Embroidery of it runs through the tongue as well as the the patch that rests above it, carrying the &#8220;kd&#8221; logo. Stitching of a rose appear on both the lateral and medial sides of the heel. Between them, a singular stalk of the flower is imprinted on the heel tab of the left pair, the right &#8220;Aunt Pearl&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The Swooshes carries a stained glass-styling while the wing cage surrounding it depicts a topographic pattern, as it does underfoot on the translucent outsole.
