Japanese matcha continues to be an oft-referenced color in sneakers as the naturally occurring shade seems to work perfectly with suede and leather materials. From Yuto Horigome’s Matcha SB Dunks to the New Balance 991v2 by Danielle Catharis, the tea leaf is in full supply for lovers of green kicks.

While this Air Max 90 isn’t officially tied to the magical leaf with multiple health benefits, this palette of Neutral Olive, Light Orewood Brown, and Phantom work perfectly with the aesthetic of the routine. In fact, the growing popularity of matcha has let to some shortages in its home country where production can’t keep up with the demand. Here, you can have your cup of tea in sneaker form as a soothing shade of green appears on the midsole. The complementary shades of khaki and light tan occur throughout the rest of the sneaker, while a darker olive green sits on the interior and the Air unit and mudguard plating.

Expect this pleasantly delicate colorway of the Air Max 90 to arrive on Nike.com and Swoosh retailers soon for $130.
