Saucony has partnered with Estudio Niksen to reinterpret its archival Trainer 80 sneaker in a workwear-inspired design. The release features a campaign shot by William Arcand on 35mm and 120mm film. The sneakers are available now for $120 USD.
Saucony and Estudio Niksen launched their collaborative Trainer 80 sneaker, presented alongside the second drop of Estudio Niksen’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection. The design draws inspiration from life beyond the city, with slower mornings, open paths, and unplanned movement. William Arcand captured the campaign using natural light and textured environments to highlight the sneaker’s nostalgic, analog aesthetic and worn-in appeal. The sneakers feature a ripstop mesh upper with hairy suede overlays for breathability and durability. Details include zig-zag embroidery, contrast stitching, an embroidered rivet logo, leather-lined collar, custom sock liner, and extra lace options. The earthy brown palette and understated Saucony branding on the tongue and heel emphasize materiality. The sole retains Saucony’s heritage running stability and grip, adapted for lifestyle use. They arrive in a custom box. The collaboration, with SKU 61227U, is available now through Saucony and Estudio Niksen websites.
