Engineered Garments x Saucony Collection

Dress shoes hybrids are one of the hottest trends in the sneaker industry. From New Balance to Nike and everywhere in between, brands are taking sporty soles, adding newly designed uppers with loafer or moccasin designs for a new era of office workers and fashion fans. But while most of the hybrid hardbottom looks have come through new silhouettes, Saucony is achieving the same effect on a remixed design of a legacy classic.

The Engineered Garments x Saucony Shadow Collection takes the 40-year-old silhouette and classes it up. Dropping in two colorways, black and brown premium leather, the Engineered Garments Shadows keep the shoe’s iconic shape but redesign the upper, adding a wingtip and ornamental design to the toebox, waxed leather laces, and a series of perforated leather panels on the side panel, logo, and heel. The result is two monochrome pairs of sneakers that would fit in on Wall Street without sacrificing comfort or a sporty aesthetic.

For decades, Engineered Garments has brought its unique approach to fabric, silhouette, and style to the sneaker industry through collaborations across brands. From Vans to Reebok and Clarks, Engineered Garments takes a thoughtful approach to sneaker partnerships that pushes boundaries without becoming unwearable.

The Engineered Garments x Saucony Shadow Collection will be released October 17, 2025 through Engineered Garments, Saucony, and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $180. To keep up with all the latest collab sneaker drops, don’t forget to download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
