The sneakers has a blue color gradient from cyan to navy blue with run from toe cap to the heel. The outsole has lightning graphic and a splatter pattern which resemble raindrops.
According to SLAM Online, the company compared the Golden State Warriors as the NBA version of perfect storm. Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant is the lightning, which provides the floor-shaking thunder. While Klay Thompson is the rain, hence the new version of the sneakers is KT2 “Make it Rain.”
