When it comes to shaping the narrative of the footwear industry, Claima Stories, with the expertise of sneaker industry maestro Bimma Williams at the helm, stands as a beacon of hope. With its commitment to voicing the stories of Black and Brown creatives, the brand strengthens the bond between consumers and brands. This month, as part of the evocative “Claim A Seat” initiative, Bimma reunites with Saucony, the brand where his illustrious footwear journey began, to bring forward a collaborative 3D Grid Hurricane.
The design intricacies of this collaboration bring forward a mix of aesthetic appeal and meaningful storytelling. The suede panels and mesh sockliner dominate the upper in deep purple shades, paying homage to Claima Stories' characteristic color. White detailing stands out on the toebox, midfoot, and heel, adding depth to the design. Enhancing the overall appearance, tan contrast stitching stretches from the midfoot to the back. This tan shade seamlessly complements the Saucony logo near the collar, the eyestay lining, and the embroidery on the lateral side. The heel proudly displays Claima branding, the only visible nod to the collaborator. The ensemble gets its final touch with a crisp white foam midsole and a multi-colored rubber outsole that promises durability and traction.
The Claima x Saucony 3D Grid Hurricane Claim A Seat will release on September 30, 2023, exclusively via Claima's website. Coming in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $150.
