The New Balance 204L era only gets more delicious with each new drop. The Boston sneaker brand has introduced a new "Cortado" flavor for its stylish, flat-soled sneaker, which has serious Miu Miu vibes.

Remember that several flat New Balance collaborations helped put Miu Miu on the map in the footwear biz and inspired a million clones. The 204L is New Balance channeling Miu Miu's good taste through its own codes, and the results are admittedly tasty.

The phrase "cortado" may sound familiar to coffee enjoyers, as a cortado is a Spanish espresso drink made with steamed milk — baristas sometimes use the warm milk to create designs on the top.

And, true enough, when it comes to New Balance's latest 204L, it's basically a tasty espresso with a dash of strawberry milk.

The combination certainly sounds a little weird as a concept, but New Balance's trendy Miu-Miu-style sneaker makes it look good by blending warm suede panels atop a wearably low-cut base.

And yet, New Balance's new 204L shoe is not the first food-flavored 204L sneaker to enter the sneaker game. The model made its grand debut in "Mushroom" suede, after all, followed by those sweet "Pink Taffy" pairs.

New Balance's 204L has now gone "Cortado" mode and looks all the better (and tastier) for it). The new delicious colorway is now available at select retailers, including END, for $145.
