New York City fashion label 3sixteen has collaborated with Saucony on a Y2K-inspired two-pack of ProGrid Guide v7.3 sneakers. The collection updates the 2000s retro design with modern materials and technology. Release is scheduled for March 2026.
The 3sixteen x Saucony ProGrid Guide v7.3s collection draws inspiration from the early 2000s, evoking the era's cyber world aesthetic through desktop computers and simple games like solitaire or pinball. 3sixteen, a NYC streetwear label that has evolved into high fashion, renames the classic Saucony Guide 7 model as Guide v7.3s, incorporating technical jargon for a modern twist.
The pack includes two colorways: one in tonal grey and the other in tennis ball green. Both feature a mix of hairy suede and premium nubuck, paired with retro triangular mesh for an updated look on the original 2000 base. Underfoot, Saucony's ProGrid technology provides lightweight cushioning, described as feeling like surfing the internet superhighway.
3sixteen introduced the collaboration via an Instagram advertisement styled as an educational infomercial, highlighting the power of the insole and the reinvention of the sneaker. The ad playfully notes the pre-Google era, where bold statements could be made freely.
Availability begins with a release through 3sixteen on March 12, 2026, followed by a wider rollout via Saucony in-store and online on March 13, 2026. The sneakers come in unisex sizing at a retail price of $165 each. This partnership continues the trend of blending vintage running shoe designs with contemporary fashion elements.
