[Update 8 Feb 2024] Ahead of its official release on 9 February, a raffle draw for the Daniëlle Cathari x New Balance 991v2 “Matcha” has started via the Kith App on 7 February. Head over to take part for a chance to secure a pair now! In the meantime, check out the latest shots of the pair in the gallery above.

De release die je niet mag missen! The Daniëlle Cathari x New Balance 991v2 “Matcha” is one for the ages.

This is not Amsterdam designer’s first rodeo in the footwear game, having cooked up kicks with Clarks and adidas. But this is her NB debut, and she’s bringing the heat (or should we say, matcha?) with a rich, moss green and earthy brown colorway. Think lush forests and calming tea ceremonies, all wrapped up in buttery suede and breathable mesh.

Look closer and you’ll see sick custom Cathari tongue tags, some sweet grey accents, and a midsole that fades from cream to white like a sunset. Plus, the FuelCell cushioning is so comfortable that your feet will be thanking you later.

Mark your calendars for 9 February 2024, because that’s when these beauties drop. No official price yet, but expect them to be around the US$250 mark based on past collaborations. So, if you’re a fan of Cathari’s style, love a good green shoe, or just appreciate a well-designed sneaker, keep your eyes peeled!
