3sixteen and Saucony are Reinventing the Sneaker with Two Pairs of Guide v7.3s

In the early 2000s, every time you booted up the home desktop computer, it felt like you were diving into an unknown cyber world, even if you were just playing solitaire or pinball. NYC streetwear classic turned high fashion label 3sixteen is channeling that Y2K energy on a new two-pack of Saucony Guide 7 model, renamed as the Guide v7.3s for a bit of 3sixteen-inspired technical jargon.

The 3sixteen x Saucony ProGrid Guide v7.3s collection features two pairs of retro Sauconys from the year 2000 with technical and material upgrades, one in tonal grey and the other in tennis ball green. On both pairs, a mix of hairy suede and premium nubuck is used with a retro triangular mesh in between for an updated look on a classic base. Underfoot, ProGrid tech makes every step as light as surfing on the internet superhighway.

3sixteen debuted the collab colorways in an Instagram ad designed like an educational infomercial, offering some truly inspirational words about the power of the insole and the reinvention of the sneaker. They didn’t have Google back then; you could just say whatever.

The 3sixteen Guide v7.3s will be released through 3sixteen March 12, 2026, followed by a wide release through Saucony in-store and online the following day. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $165. For all the latest Saucony collab news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
