Saucony x Bodega “Sweater Pack”

This is the grey colorway of the “sweater pack”  This was another collaboration of Saucony & the infamouse Boston shop, Bodega.  The collar a beautiful red floral print, which really stands out.  The upper consists of suede and some sweater/knit panels that finishing off the cleanness.  Maybe something your grams would have knitted you.. limited to 300 pairs per colorway.

End x Saucony “Burger”

End x Saucony collaboration.  Great concept that uses top materials and provides a vivid Shadow 5000.

The upper is draped in a perforated nubuck & suede;  lots of nice touches of leather and comes with a custom “burger” box.  Insoles come detailed with both brands Saucony/End;  and a woven tongue tab depicting a burger.. naturally.  Condiments accompany the pair with BBQ & Mayo lace packets which allows a quick lace swap if desired.  The details are just glaring all over the shoe and finish the knockout with an always classic gum outsole.

I mean, who doesn’t like a good burger.

Saint Alfred x Converse First String Pro Leather

Converse First String has had many interesting, quality  collaboration with various independent shops.  This time they created this beauty with Chicago’s St. Alfred.  The collection featured two colorways, one pair had an upper of grey while its cousin had an upper covered with black.  Both pairs showcase premium wool & leather and just have a real nice winter feel to them.  They even came with 3 different lace options.  As soon as I had seen these, I needed to have one or both.  The grey pair was my favorite.
