The Shell colourway and model line
The pair is identified by style code 1203B348-020 and the colourway name Phantom/Acai. The available design details establish those identifiers, while “Shell” is part of the edition’s name.
Within the Gel-Kayano 12.1 line, this edition sits alongside Vandy The Pink Chocolate and Dragon Fruit Black. Those names show that the 12.1 has appeared in several distinct colourways, without implying particular panel colours or design details for this pair.
The Gel-Kayano family extends beyond the 12.1 to models such as the 20 and 33. Their listed colourways include Black Pond, Glacier Grey White, Black White and Dark Aubergine Dahlia, placing Phantom/Acai in a wider line with different model numbers and named colour options.
For this release, the useful comparison is the model and colourway: Gel-Kayano 12.1, Phantom/Acai. The style code helps distinguish this Sneaker Politics Shell edition from other 12.1 pairs.
