Retro acts bringing it back like… the Bodega x Saucony Elite ‘Pattern Recognition Pack’? Not quite the lyrics but in the words of JAY Z, this new collaboration is along those lines in a sense.
Utilizing the Saucony G9 Shadow 6, it looks as if the past is still coming back to pave the way for the future, especially in the sneaker culture.
Check out below the official press release by Bodega and their detailed pictures then down in the comments as this pack drops this Saturday let us know if it will be a DEF Cop or DEF Not.
When the 80s gave way to the 1990s, it seemed like a time of limitless possibilities and refreshed optimism. Maybe it was the dizzying array of new sugar based products, or maybe when the cold war ended, we were able to stop worrying about the world blowing up for the first time in decades. Either way, there was a vast, cultural exhale and an expansive sense of freedom.
In the fashion world, we celebrated these times with patterns, patterns, and more patterns. When we ran out of space to fit patterns, we filled it with bright colors. Some naysayers questioned the wisdom of using so much boldness at the same time, but, perhaps spurred on by extra caffeinated cola and gummi-sharks, we remained undeterred.
Saucony was, and is, game for this spirit of sartorial adventurism. No surprise, given their long history of technical innovation. The latest effort from Saucony Elite isn’t just mixing colors and patterns. Saucony is mixing their classic shoes. The G9 Shadow 6 takes Saucony’s groundbreaking grid support sole, and attaches it to the classic Shadow 6000 upper.
Yes, a bright color here, and a wild pattern there might have found their way onto this shoe. But if you have a problem with bright blues, rich purples, deep olive green, geometric patterns, and animal prints all in the same place, we can only say one thing. Deal with it; it’s the 90s.
The Bodega x Saucony Elite ‘Pattern Recognition’ Pack will release on Saturday, May 2, 2015 – at midnight EST on bdgastore.com and 11am in-store. Retail is $120 per pair.
