As a dedicated fan, I can confidently say that Saucony stands tall as a global pioneer in the realm of running and lifestyle. What sets it apart is its unique approach, with collaborations that delve deep into the fabric of culture – from teaming up with artists like Westside Gunn to retail powerhouses such as Footpatrol. Now, Saucony is marking the renaissance of its retro-inspired Trainer 80 silhouette in a special way – by paying tribute to two vibrant London communities that are shaping culture: the iconic radio station and community hub Balamii and the dynamic running collective, Your Friendly Runners.
Ever since its inception, Saucony has been known for providing footwear that caters to long-distance runners as well as streetwear aficionados globally, blending function with fashion. Yet, regardless if Saucony sneakers are worn by dedicated runners or partygoers, there’s one common thread: a strong sense of community.
The Trainer 80 by Saucony embodies its innovative spirit more than ever before. First introduced in 1978, this shoe revolutionized the running shoe market with high-density EVA foam for a contemporary twist on a timeless design. Its progressive design discarded the old cardboard layer between the sole and upper, resulting in a softer, more dynamic feel. Now back with its vintage charm intact, the classic shoe boasts updated, modern features.
The updated, contemporary version of the Trainer 80, represented by Balamii and Your Friendly Runners, carries on Saucony’s philosophy “Run As One.” Speaking about the launch of Trainer 80, James Browning from Balamii stated: “This collaboration with Saucony aligns perfectly with our values at Balamii – community and nurturing talent. We are thrilled to have assembled these remarkable up-and-coming artists for a campaign that honors traditional style while catering to a modern audience.
Matt Horrocks from Your Friendly Runners stated, “Since our work at YFR combines both running and community, it seemed perfectly fitting to be part of the debut of Saucony’s enduring Trainer 80. It’s thrilling to reintroduce a classic design that remains highly contemporary in today’s fashion.
