Behind The Design: Bodega x Saucony Grid Shadow 2 ‘Jaunt Woven’

Just when you thought we had done it all with Saucony, we stripped it all away and got back to basics, building our Grid Shadow 2 ‘Jaunt Woven’ from the Earth up.

Going into this project with the stage – and expectations – set by a long lineage of collaborations together, the stress and pressure to deliver were front of mind, two variables that don’t necessarily aid in footwear design. In other words, it was time to mellow out.

And when it comes to taking chill pills and other various types of pills, who does it better than the new-age hippie? Not necessarily the worshippers of Cornell 5/8/77 and enjoyers of hitchhiking but their tie-dye loving, shell necklace wearing, incense burning offspring who might slack in the classroom but kill it on the slackline out in the quad. And then it clicked.
