The covers feature hyper-detailed sneaker photography, overlaid with colorful spray paint strokes, splatters, and urban wall textures. Dominated by vibrant reds, yellows, and teals set against concrete greys and distressed whites, the aesthetic reflects the essence of streetwear and creative rebellion. Every detail from laces to cracked pavement adds texture and story.
