Sneakers aren’t just for your everyday errands; they’re the newest dress shoes that’ll mix up your rotation. While not every sneaker can be the perfect dress shoe, brands have taken to the design board to elevate their silhouettes and make them even more versatile. We’ve seen how even athletic brands like Nike and Adidas have developed elevated sneakers that blur the line between casual and formal, and now Saucony is joining the trend. The athletic company is joining forces with Engineered Garments for a new hybrid athletic-dress shoe that combines the brand’s technical features with classic wingtip details. The latest limited-edition Engineered Garments x Saucony Shadow Original Wingtip is a new design that elevates the classic retro sneaker into a dress shoe.
Engineered Garments and Saucony elevate your sneakers
The Shadow silhouette marks a new collaboration between Engineered Garments and Saucony, bringing sophisticated wingtip details to your favorite retro-inspired sneakers. Available in brown and black colorways, the Shadow sneaker is crafted with full-grain leather uppers with pigskin leather liners. The brown iterations feature a raw-edge detail, while the black version opts for a sleek tonal design. Taking a loose inspiration from Saucony’s performance shoe from 1985, the design also includes overlay paneling with brogue details and a wingtip toe. Discreet co-branding is found on the inside soles, while the outside remains minimal and clean. Also, the shoe comes with a dust bag that provides extra protection to keep your limited-edition pair in top shape.
While Engineered Garments and Saucony are frequent collaborators with other top brands, this release marks the first partnership between the two, making it a special moment in both of their histories. The Engineered Garments x Saucony Shadow Original Wingtip is available now via Saucony’s webstore for $180.
