A Closer Look: Bodega x Saucony "Jaunt Woven"
From worrying how many Lego sets you could build with the microplastics in your stomach to the parasocial relationship you’ve developed with Siri, we can’t help but think the new-age hippies were on to something man.
No, not necessarily their taste in first-wave vegan food or their knack for cutting third period to get high in the woods, but their convictions in a rapidly changing world. When and where to put their foot down and when to go with the flow.
For our first collaboration of the year, we are stoked to partner with one of our oldest compadres in the game, throw on the automatic reply, and unplug. Because sometimes all you need is an aimless adventure.
Like the steady rhythm of a bongo drum, the Bodega x Saucony Grid Shadow 2 ‘Jaunt Woven’ is founded on a momentum-packed Molded EVA midsole with a speckled heel that looks like waves pulling you towards a recycled Gum Rubber outsole. When you fan away the smoke from the weird-smelling incense you lit and pan up, the upper falls right into place like a three-piece horn section supporting a staccato guitar rhythm.
Featuring a dream blunt rotation that combines Stone Washed 18oz Canvas, Hemp, and Cotton, expertly choreographed like a most legendary hacky sack circle, we see the iconic silhouette in a new grow light. And your eyes do not deceive you - though they might be a bit bloodshot - those are rope laces to lock down the design ethos, from tip to tail.
Going ‘au naturale’, with earthy-crunchy shades, a microdose of Acid Lime and Red Alert help make sure you’re having as much fun as we are. Anyways, sorry to leave you hanging but we gotta get back to 3rd period.
