Albino & Preto and Saucony Develop a Collection Centered Around the Spirit of Sport
Expressing vintage outdoor recreational design infused with martial arts detailing.
Coming together for “a partnership built for the ground up,” Albino & Preto has come together with Saucony for a collection designed in the spirit of sport. The duo developed a unisex athletic/lifestyle collection highlighting their symbiotic relationship, love of sport, and heritage.
Leading the collaboration is Albino & Preto’s take on the iconic Saucony Shadow 5000 footwear model. Taking cues from vintage outdoor recreational design infused with martial arts detailing, with jiu-jitsu inspiring the understated color palette used on the shoe.
The water-resistant uppers of the shoe feature embossed tatami rubber toe boxes, suede panels, and pearl weave underlays. Additional detailing comes in the form of 3M reflective elements and co-branding motifs throughout. Elevating the A&P x Saucony Shadow 5000 are speckled midsoles paired with rugged outsoles.
Accompanying the collaborative footwear release is a series of apparel marked by a matching gi with multicolor speckled patches and embroidery. Other offerings include a rashguard, graphic T-shirts, and training shorts marked with co-branded graphics.
The Albino & Preto x Saucony collection will be available November 4, 11 a.m. PDT on A&P’s website, while a follow-up drop at atmos New York City will arrive November 5, 11 a.m. EDT
