Ben Felderstein Australia’s own Up There has linked up with Saucony to add a brand new Cruel the Grid 8000. Inspired by the unique Japanese stitching method known as Sashiko, this iteration comes as a nod to Japan’s well-documented farming history. Its focal point is its Sashiko-styled stitched upper as well as its debossed tongue tags and heel logos that feature “Up There” branding. Accompanied by custom packaging, this luxe offering boasts indigo-dyed fabrics, off-setting Jazz threading, premium leather, and metal tipped laces. While this collaborative effort already released exclusively at Up There, it is scheduled to arrive at other select retailers around the glob starting tomorrow, February 23rd, with a retail price of $250 USD.
