The 3sixteen x Saucony Peregrine 15 'Gesso' sneakers have been created in collaboration between the brands as an artistic footwear style that sees the footwear transformed into a painter's canvas. The sneakers are each dyed with natural components and techniques thanks to a partnership with the Green Matters Natural Dye Company, and come in four color options including Indigo, Sunflower, Granite and Rubia. The experimental sneakers have a distinct, stain-like finish that will render no two pairs quite alike to further elevate the profile of the footwear.
The 3sixteen x Saucony Peregrine 15 'Gesso' sneakers will be available exclusively through the 3sixteen website as well as its New York and Los Angeles flagship locations for $190.
