Saucony and Estudio Niksen's Sneaker Collab Is Our New Obsession
Adding a touch of workwear to your sneaker rotation.
Saucony and Canadian fashion and lifestyle brand Estudio Niksen just teamed up on a new sneaker, and this one might be a sleeper candidate for shoe of the year. Bringing Estudio Niksen’s workwear and minimalist aesthetic to Saucony’s running roots, the Trainer 80 shoe is the perfect mix of style, comfort and everything we love from a good sneaker collaboration.
Arriving in dark earth tones — shades of brown and ivory with hints of red and butter yellow — the sneaker has an outdoorsy, gorpcore feel to it. Reinterpreting Saucony’s Trainer 80 silhouette for both workwear and outdoor activity, oversized, rope-like laces allude to long hikes and forest trails, whilst the colorway itself is almost designed to blend in with nature.
The hairy suede upper elevates the shoe, separating it from the rest of Saucony’s offerings with its leather lining and a checkered tongue that matches the textiles of the second drop of Estudio Niksen’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection.
The Saucony logo still sits on the upper and the tongue, with Estudio Niksen taking over the heel tab. Not losing its athletic roots, the sole offers grip and stability without losing the effortless style that is sure to make this sneaker a fan favorite.
The Saucony x Estudio Niksen Trainer 80 n=sneaker is available to purchase now on the Saucony and Estudio Niksen websites.
