Saucony links up once again with New York label 3sixteen for Spring/Summer 2026. This time both labels are delivering a collaboration that feels rooted in both brands’ identities. Built around the Saucony ProGrid Guide 7 v7.3, the project reinterprets an early-2000s stability runner.
Y2K Blueprint
At the core of the collaboration sits the Guide 7, originally designed as a stability running shoe in the early 2000s. For this collaboration it returns as the Guide v7.3, updated, rebalanced and repositioned within Saucony’s lifestyle offering.
The silhouette keeps its performance-informed structure, a supportive base, layered upper and engineered cushioning system designed for a long comfort. Underfoot, ProGrid cushioning remains the key element, giving responsive impact protection and stable ride to the wearer.
Materials
Across both colourways the upper combines a mixture of hairy suede panels, for a raw, textured finish with smooth nubuck overlays that add contrast to the pair. This is combined wifh retro-inspired triangular mesh for breathability.
Two Colourways
The first colourway, Graphite is the more understated out of the two. A base of muted greys is layered with softer tonals. Subtle hits of lilac and blush tones add a bit of warmth to the pair. All of this happens while an aged off-white midsole enhances the retro look.
The second colourway gives a bit more contrast to the pair. This pair arrives in a Lime/Raffia colourway. This is built around a bold, almost fluorescent yellow. This vibrancy is balanced through neutral mesh and darker overlays, but still, it remains intentionally loud. Both colourways come with two sets of laces, one tonal, one contrasting.
