Product Information

Full details

These Saucony x 3Sixteen Guide 7 trainers in Green are designed for adult males seeking a blend of retro Y2K-inspired aesthetics and modern technical improvements on a classic stability trainer. The key benefit is exceptional comfort and cushioned traction derived from ProGrid midsoles and lugged rubber outsoles, combined with a unique material composition for depth and style. A potential caveat is their specific sizing, and availability may be limited due to the collaborative nature of the release.

FAQs

What is the primary inspiration for the Saucony x 3Sixteen Guide 7 design?

The design is inspired by the Y2K era, drawing from translucent neon hardware casings and '90s-era woven logos, blended with the technical heritage of the original Guide 7 stability trainer.

What materials are used in the uppers of these trainers?

The uppers are constructed using a combination of hairy suede, breathable triangle mesh, and smooth nubuck.

What kind of cushioning does the midsole offer?

These trainers feature ProGrid midsoles, which provide exceptional cushioning and enhance traction.

Are there different lace options included?

Yes, two pairs of laces are included: one tonal set and one contrast set, allowing for customization.

What type of outsole is used for traction?

A lugged rubber outsole is used to enhance cushioned traction and provide a secure grip on various surfaces.

How should I clean the suede and nubuck components?

Use a suede brush for routine cleaning and a suede eraser for marks. Avoid excessive water; if using a cleaner, test it on an inconspicuous area first and allow to air dry.

Is this shoe suitable for all foot types?

While offering enhanced comfort and support, these were originally designed as stability trainers. Individuals seeking a neutral or minimalist shoe might prefer other models.

Troubleshooting

Uneven wear on outsole

Ensure proper gait and avoid dragging feet. Rotate shoes with other footwear for balanced wear.

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser may be used carefully.

Discomfort during initial wear

Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure correct lacing for proper fit and support.

Color transfer from suede/nubuck

This can occur with new suede or nubuck, especially in wet conditions. Allow the shoes to dry completely and consider using a suede protectant spray (test on a small area first).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Simply choose your preferred lace color (tonal or contrast) and thread them through the eyelets.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male foot sizes (UK 7 in this variant). Suitable for individuals who appreciate a blend of style and support in their footwear. These are classified as trainers, originally intended as stability shoes.

Care: To maintain the condition of the suede, nubuck, and mesh materials:

  1. Cleaning Suede and Nubuck: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore nap. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be employed. Avoid using water directly on suede and nubuck unless specified by a dedicated suede cleaner, and always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  2. Cleaning Mesh: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and water to clean the mesh areas. Blot dry immediately.
  3. Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately with mild detergent.
  4. Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally away from direct heat sources.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original packaging or a shoe bag to protect from dust and moisture.
