Footpatrol Joins Saucony to Rework the Jazz '81
A premium iteration of a Saucony classic.
American footwear and apparel brand Saucony has long played a role in the sneaker game. Now, it teams up with UK sneaker store Footpatrol to present a new take on the Saucony Jazz ‘81. The silhouette debuted in 2021 in celebration of 40 years of the Jazz O’ sneaker and connects an old school look with premium detailing.
The sport-influenced style of the Jazz ‘81 is carefully reworked and features a luxe look in this collaboration. Carrying a nylon base found in black, details such as its gray suede embellishments and patent leather heel stand out. A quilted liner jacket inspired tongue carries the duo’s names alongside a “HERITAGE OF JAZZ” tagline while the Footpatrol logo hits the heel counter. Completing the colorway, a vintage approach to the cream and white midsole pairs with a black outsole.
Release for the Footpatrol x Saucony Jazz ‘81 began on June 4 with approximately 66 pairs available at Footpatrol’s London and Paris locations. However, a global launch in larger quantities is slated to drop on June 17 via Saucony and select retailers at a price of £100 GBP.
Elsewhere in footwear news, KANGHYUK and Reebok have presented two monochromatic colorways of the Premier Road Modern Mid.
