Saucony is handing over the reins to one of its most popular running shoes, inviting Paris-based designer Stan Birch to put his own spin on the ProGrid Guide 7. Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the article for word on the collaboration from Birch himself.

Birch’s ‘Stand Out’ mantra is truly stamped throughout (it’s literally typed out along the outer heel for good measure), and the layered build of the retro ProGrid lends itself perfectly to his signature 'split' style and approach to wearable art.

The Neapolitan-esque palette brings in a cacophony of green, pink and cream pastel hues across a mesh-dominated upper, punctuated by lashings of leather and suede overlays.

The Saucony x Stan Birch ProGrid Guide 7 will launch at retailers on September 19th and on the Saucony website September 21st. Get those notifications on and make sure you don't miss out.
