Even though the jackets are made from recycled plastic bottles and the tags on the jeans are made from plant-based leather, it wasn't enough to keep Twitter from poking fun at the fact that it looks like something an astronaut would wear.

It's also worth noting that the summer Olympics will be in July, so the multiple layers, pants and jacket might be a little too much for strolling the streets of Japan.
The Games are set to begin on July 23 and run through Aug. 8.
