Avocado Toast Sneakers Are the Most 2019 Thing of 2019 So Far

We like our wine pink, our $15 salads to come in plastic bowls and our avocado on toast. It was only a matter of time before someone made it into a fashion statement.

Enter Saucony’s latest debut, a very 2019 take on the athletic shoe. It’s called the Shadow 6000 Avocado Toast, and it says “brunch” all over it, for better or for worse.

On the outside, the green suede uppers (sorry, “smashed avocado textured suede”) are accented by a brown strip of “toast,” but these shoes are all about the little details, too. Inside each heel is a tiny avocado, and the lining features red dots to emulate crushed pepper flakes (duh). The back of each heel reads “Saucamole,” because if you’re wearing these shoes, you might as well go overboard.

Other details: The sneakers retail for $130 and are exclusive to the brand’s website. They’re only available in men’s sizing, but you can easily convert them to women’s.

Wear them to brunch and order avo toast. We dare you.
