On the shoe tongue, there is a Logo of HeyTea instead of an Adidas.

This color match is inspired by HeyTea’s signature drink “Very Grape Cheezo”. This is an iced drink based on green tea with Kyoho Grape and cheese milk lid. It is one of the highest-selling beverages in the early days of HeyTea.

HeyTea is a new style milk tea brand founded in 2015, renamed from Royal Tea. As of December 31, 2019, it has 390 stores worldwide. It is also considered to be the founder of the new style of milk tea.

In the past year alone, HeyTea and its competitor Naxue’s Tea have added more than 500 stores.
