The colourway is called "Aphrodite”, for the ancient Greek Goddess of love. Well known by many, She isn’t originally Greek, but was an ancient earth goddess of the eastern Mediterranean. She was “born” in the Greek myth from the “foam” of her father Uranus’ castrated penis, in the ocean. Her name “aphros” means “seafoam”. While she is famous for being a love goddess, I wanted to focus on the seafoam element, and used colours to represent that.

This colourway has a blend of pale green, blue and aqua.
