Daniëlle Cathari Teases "Reverse Matcha" Collaboration With New Balance

If you've ever wondered what a matcha latte with a shot of espresso would look like in sneaker form, then you're in luck because Daniëlle Cathari's upcoming collaboration with New Balance is exactly that. The Amsterdam-based designer just teased a new NB 991v2 silhouette in a barista-approved colorway on Instagram, with the comments all begging for a release date.

The "Reverse Matcha" drop takes the classic New Balance style and turns it into a sleek, earthy grail that will have you running to your local coffee shop for the matching beverage. Remixing the limited-edition "Matcha" sneaker she released with the brand last year, this version inverts the colorway. A brown, suede upper is accented by green mesh and laces. The same two-tone sole in tan and ivory continues the color story between the two drops, with grey details adding the finishing touches to both pairs.

Though Cathari's post was just a teaser, she tagged both New Balance and Kith, so it can be expected that this limited drop will be exclusive to the NYC retailer. There isn't a set release date, but "Reverse Matcha" is set to be on the streets in the near future.

In other news, New Balance and NAKED Copenhagen's new sneakers are pretty in pink.
