# Jungle-Inspired Sneaker Designs Raised by Wolves and Saucony Unveil a New Urban Jungle Style Shoe By Amy Duong | Published 2020-01-18 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-jungle References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2020/1/raised-by-wolves-saucony-aya-asphalt-jungle-release-date) & [raisedbywolves](https://raisedbywolves.com/) Raised by Wolves works in collaboration with Saucony on a new pair of the AYA shoes in an Urban Jungle inspiration. The iconic silhouette is known for its impeccable fit, custom to the wearer and the range of different lacing options. The color palette is strong, with inspiration details drawn from 90s skateboarding footwear. The uppers are complete in steel gray using two different mesh materials at the base layered foundation. The overlays are then informed with materials including leather and suede. The base also highlights an industrial look with some brighter colors including orange and red on the tongue and the sockliner made from leather materials as an added contrast.
