If you had to guess what Saucony’s latest shoe resembled, you’d probably figure it out in one try. With a green upper, a brown midsole, and an avocado emblazoned on both the tongue and insole, the Shadow 6000 Avocado Toast, aka Suacamole, is obviously a tribute to the beloved food item.

Saucony obviously put a lot of attention to detail in this design. The different textures found on the shoe parallel the fleshy part of the avocado and the pit. And the inside of the shoe is also sprinkled with red dots, which represent spicy chili flakes.

But the real question is: Do you love avocados enough to wear these? The shoes will be available online and in stores on February 26 and will retail for $140.
