The GEL-LYTE V sneaker from the OCHA ZOME Collection draws inspiration from traditional Japanese tea ceremonies. ASICS constructed the upper with cotton that was coloured with a dye extracted from matcha. The dye itself was made using leftover ingredients from matcha tea production processes. The tooling retains its wavy design from when it first hit the running market in 1993. Only this time, they've revamped the midsole's construction by using at least 20% recycled materials to support more sustainable manufacturing.

I had hoped that these would come close to the comfort level of my gel nimbus 24, but no. They are a comfortable street shoe, which is what I bought them for. Not recommended for running. If you have a wide foot, definitely go up half a size.
