    They do some great looking pieces. Personal fav recently was the Kintsugi.

    However, the build quality, fit, and comfort are still a way off NB or Nike by quite a way.

    A while back they did a black and orange colab with Soulbox in Berlin. First day and foam padding was being pushed through the mesh upper. Not great.

    If they could fix these things a bit id be buying way more of them

      Lmao, build quality and comfort are levels above Nike. You obviously haven’t had a chance to rock Saucony.

      Nike is literally the worst in the game when it comes to comfort and quality, but has fire silhouettes and color ways.

      Quality, hence comfort seriously lacks, especially on many collabs! (probably due to budgeting/smaller margin… which will never be fixed).

      BUT I haven’t worn any shoe that is more comfortable than their standard issue Jazz.

      The first pair of those I bought were what got me into collecting sneakers (7 pairs of Jazz’s, 10 Saucony’s so far, but I’m giving just about each new model a try).

      I’m an outside person and I wore them daily for upwards of 2 years… the reason I quit wearing them is not about material, I just fucked them up and struggle with odor.

      Close 2nd would be the Grid Shadow 2.
