Product Information

Full details

The Saucony x 3Sixteen Guide 7 trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of Y2K-inspired aesthetics and modern comfort. The key benefit is the unique combination of premium materials like hairy suede and smooth nubuck, offering a distinctive look and feel. A potential caveat is that these are fashion-oriented trainers, and while they feature cushioning, they are not specialized performance running shoes. Key features include a retro-inspired design, a collaboration with 3Sixteen, premium material construction, ProGrid cushioning, and dual lace options.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the Guide 7 was originally a stability trainer, this reissue focuses on lifestyle and fashion. They offer good cushioning for everyday comfort but are not optimized for competitive or high-impact running.

How do I care for the hairy suede material?

Use a suede brush regularly to maintain its texture. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Avoid getting the suede wet, as it can alter its appearance and texture.

What is the inspiration behind the design?

The design is inspired by Y2K-era technology, such as mechanical keyboards and CRT monitors, and features elements reminiscent of '90s Saucony Shadow 6000 models.

What comes included with the shoes?

The trainers come with two pairs of laces: one tonal pair that matches the shoe's primary color, and one contrast pair for a bolder look. They also feature co-branded footbeds.

What material is the outsole made of?

The outsole is made of lugged rubber, designed to enhance traction and provide durability for everyday wear.

Can I change the laces to a different style?

Yes, two pairs of laces are provided, allowing you to switch between a tonal and a contrast look. You can also replace them with other standard shoelaces if desired.

What size are these trainers listed as?

These specific trainers are listed as a UK size 7 for adult males.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent dirt, a suede eraser can be used gently. Avoid using water directly on suede.

Laces are dirty

Remove the laces and hand wash them with a mild detergent. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing the shoes.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces

Ensure the lugged rubber outsole is clean from debris. If the issue persists, the outsole may be worn down and may need replacement, although this is uncommon for casual use.

Discomfort during extended wear

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Check if the included insoles provide adequate support; consider aftermarket insoles if needed.
