FAQs
What is the primary inspiration for the Saucony Guide v7.3 - Green?
The design is inspired by Y2K-era technology, particularly translucent neon hardware casings, and incorporates elements from '90s branding.
How do I clean the hairy suede and nubuck materials?
Use a specialized suede brush for routine cleaning. For stains, a suede cleaner applied sparingly with a soft cloth is recommended. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the original Guide was a stability trainer, this reissue is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, focusing on comfort and aesthetics rather than performance running.
What comes included with the shoes?
The shoes come with two pairs of laces: one tonal (matching the shoe's color) and one contrast lace, offering options for personalization.
What is ProGrid cushioning?
ProGrid is Saucony's cushioning technology designed to provide a blend of comfort, responsiveness, and shock absorption for everyday wear.
How does the collaboration with 3Sixteen influence the design?
The collaboration brings a unique material combination (hairy suede, smooth nubuck, triangle mesh) and color palette inspired by Y2K aesthetics, along with co-branded details.
Can I wash the shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, particularly the suede and nubuck. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, consult a specialized suede cleaning product.
Laces getting dirty
Remove laces and hand wash with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.
Discomfort during extended wear
Ensure the shoes are properly laced. If the issue persists, consider using aftermarket insoles for additional cushioning or support.
Color transfer from suede/nubuck
This is common with new suede/nubuck. Wear with darker socks initially. Consider applying a protective spray designed for suede and nubuck, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
