In a collaboration that celebrates the intersection of creativity, culture, and community, Claima has joined forces with Saucony to introduce the 3D Grid Hurricane NOLA. This sneaker pays homage to the vibrant city of New Orleans. Bimma Williams, founder of Claima and a beacon for creatives navigating the industry's intricacies, leverages this partnership to encapsulate the essence of New Orleans' rich heritage and follows up on his previous Saucony 3D Grid Hurricane collab.
The Claima x Saucony 3D Grid Hurricane NOLA stands out with its thoughtful color palette that mirrors the soul of New Orleans. The design choice reflects the city's historical architecture, its joyful spirit, and the lush natural landscapes that define it, blending tan, cream, brown, and purple. The sneaker balances aesthetics with performance. It is constructed with premium mesh and suede, offering versatile and comfortable wear. The standout purple Saucony logo adorns the tan mudguard, harmonizing with the linear embroidery on the midfoot. At the same time, brown mesh wraps the collar and additional midfoot sections, grounding the design in earthy tones.
The collaboration is further personalized with unique branding elements, including Claima's name etched on the heel of the left sneaker and an affectionate nod to NOLA on the right, solidifying the shoe's dedication to the city. The insole features co-branded detailing, underscoring the partnership's collaborative spirit. Finalizing the design is a cream midsole paired with a brown outsole, encapsulating the shoe's homage to New Orleans' landscapes and architectural beauty.
The Claima x Saucony 3D Grid Hurricane NOLA is set to release on March 8, 2024, through Saucony, Claima, and select online and in-store retailers. Available in unisex sizing, the sneaker retails for $150. Stay updated on the latest sneaker releases, raffles, news, and more by keeping it locked to the Sole Retriever mobile app.
