Footpatrol x BEAMS x Saucony Grid 8000 “Only in Tokyo”
Following up on their 2013 collaboration dubbed “Made in SOHO”, comes the “Made in Tokyo” collection from Footpatrol, BEAMS, and Saucony. Utilizing the Grid 8000 as their canvas, the sneaker comes wrapped in BEAMS woven sock material along with a pigskin-like off-white suede. Branding is heavy on this one, with Footpatrol’s signature gasmask logo on one tongue tab, and Saucony’s logo on the other. The collaborative sneaker can now be picked up in-store at our Moreland Ave location. 
The Gel-Kayono Trainer was first released in 1993 and was the start of one of the most successful running shoe lines in the history of performance shoes. Named after its developer Toshikazu Kayono, which still plays a leading role in the ASICS design team today. As a creative starting point for this collaboration the Footpatrol team chose their own name and its meaning to draw inspirations from. They included materials that are also used in high-quality military and outdoor equipment.
