Matt Varga Saucony is no stranger to an elevated in-house release. Though there’s obviously a high level of care brought into to collaborative efforts, they prove each season that the same level of attention goes into their mainline drops. The Saucony Grid Shadow 2 “Year of the Dragon” is a perfect exemplar of this idea, reportedly the first of a multi-step pack arriving in the next several weeks.
Though the mahogany suede that dominates the upper is largely unchanged from regular Saucony Grid Shadow 2 releases, everywhere else gets some sort of draconic tie. Be it in the creek Saucony logo on the side that’s scaly and segmented, the burgundy suede toe cap that’s similarly tiled or the multicolored back tab that refracts the concept through a mosaic. The sole and tongue is really where the things elevate, though, bringing in traditional Chinese Zodiac iconography to ground these in 2024 specifically.
The Saucony Grid Shadow 2 “Year of the Dragon” is available now via saucony.com, arriving in M3 – M14.5. While we don’t have more information just yet, the brand reports that these are part of the “Legends Pack,” so keep it locked to our Saucony tab to stay in the loop.
Elsewhere in the runners world, the Comme Des Garçons ASICS GEL-Terrain capsule eyes a global release later this month.
