Saucony and Universal Works Drop Route to the Future Capsule
Nottingham-based menswear imprint Universal Works joins forces with Saucony on the new Route to the Future collection. This marks the second time that the duo are working together and it expands on the Future Friendship Project by Universal Works.
The brands celebrate the concept of friendship and create a pair of low-top sneakers in brown and cream colorway details. It is constructed from long-haired suede materials throughout the upper and has swirling embroidery details for a textural touch. Co-branding accents can be seen in the form of tags that are hanging from the tongue sections and heel area. The mudguards are accented with "UW" and it all rests on top of cushioned rubber sole units.
