END. X SAUCONY 'OLIVE BRANCH'

Following on from 2024’s Triumph 4 ‘Nessie’ collaboration, END. and Saucony link up once again with a duo of sneakers inspired by the rich and vibrant colours of green olives. Using the ProGrid Omni 9 and Shadow 6000 sneakers as blank canvases for the exclusive capsule’s make-up, each pair is dressed in a combination of rich olive tones and bright white.   

Transforming two iconic silhouettes from Saucony’s archive, the American brand and British retailer have imbued each sneaker in an array of details in honour of one the oldest cultivated trees on Earth: the olive tree. Renowned for its health benefits, the naturally bitter stone fruit has been a staple in human diets for thousands of years; a pillar of cuisine in the Mediterranean, the Middle East and beyond.   

Detailing this duo of sneakers with bespoke olive themed embellishments, the Omni 9 model takes a more muted approach of the two. Pairing its ‘00s running aesthetic with the collaboration’s green and white palette, a tonal white upper is punctuated with pops of olive green to the outsole, tongue, heel and side wall branding. Adorned with an embroidered olive branch motif to the inner side wall, the Omni 9 sneaker is detailed with custom feathered mesh panels to complete the look for a twist on the shoe’s OG style.   

Turning to the Shadow 6000 silhouette, END. and Saucony deliver a retro style runner constructed from panels of olive-green hairy and smooth suede. White laces and a white midsole add balance to the sneaker’s colour palette, while the collaboration’s olive branch emblem is embroidered to the inner side wall in keeping with the Omni 9. Subtle END. branding sits to the keeper loop for a simple flourish of style to finish things off, while both styles boast custom logos to sign off the limited-edition capsule.
