FAQs

What makes the Saucony x 3Sixteen Guide 7 unique?

Its uniqueness stems from the collaboration with 3Sixteen, combining premium materials like hairy suede and smooth nubuck with a Y2K-inspired colour palette and retro design elements, all built upon Saucony's reliable ProGrid cushioning.

How do I choose the right size?

This variant is listed as Size UK 7. It is recommended to compare with your usual Saucony sizing or consult a size chart if you are new to the brand. As a collaborative model, sizing might have slight variations.

Are these suitable for running?

These trainers are primarily designed for style and comfort in casual settings. While they feature cushioning, they are not optimized for high-performance running and lack the specific support and technology of dedicated running shoes.

What is the ProGrid midsole?

ProGrid is Saucony's cushioning technology designed to provide a blend of shock absorption and responsiveness, offering comfort and support during wear.

How do I care for the suede and nubuck materials?

Gently brush off dry dirt with a soft brush. Use specialized suede cleaners and erasers for stains, and avoid excessive water. Protect from prolonged sun exposure and moisture.

What does the Y2K inspiration refer to?

The Y2K inspiration refers to the aesthetic trends and technology of the late 1990s and early 2000s, seen here in the translucent neon colour accents and retro packaging.

Do they come with different laces?

Yes, the trainers include two pairs of laces: one tonal (matching the shoe colour) and one contrast lace for a different look.

Troubleshooting

Initial stiffness

New trainers, especially those with suede and nubuck, can feel stiff initially. Wear them for short periods around the house to break them in gradually. Adding appropriate socks can also help with comfort.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace the laces with a similar material or opt for a more durable alternative. Ensure knots are not tied excessively tight, which can put strain on the laces.

Discoloration of suede/nubuck

Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as UV rays can fade colours. Protect from rain and moisture, as water can also cause discoloration or water stains.

Slippery sole on wet surfaces

The lugged rubber outsole provides good traction, but like most footwear, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique and stylish design combining retro aesthetics with modern materials.
  • Comfortable cushioning system (ProGrid) for everyday wear.
  • Durable construction with a mix of premium suedes and nubucks.
  • Versatile with two lace options for personalized styling.
  • Collectable item due to the collaboration with 3Sixteen.

Cons

  • Limited availability due to its collaborative nature.
  • Suede and nubuck materials may require specific care to maintain appearance.
  • As a trainer, it is primarily designed for casual wear and light activity, not high-performance sports.
  • Specific Y2K/90s aesthetic may not appeal to all fashion preferences.
  • May run differently compared to standard Saucony models, requiring careful sizing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. You can choose to lace them with the included tonal or contrast laces to match your style.

Compatibility:

Designed for adult male footwear sizing (UK 7 specifically for this variant), they are compatible with standard sock types. They pair well with a wide range of casual apparel.

Care:

  • Cleaning Suede and Nubuck: Use a soft brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner and eraser can be used, following product instructions carefully. Avoid using water excessively, as it can stain suede.
  • Mesh Areas: Lightly clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow to air dry naturally.
  • Outsole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove mud or debris.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box, to maintain shape and protect materials.
