Nordstrom x Saucony Triumph 22 'Brindle'

Nordstrom x Saucony Triumph 22 'Brindle'

I saw these for the first time on @um.jf13 story and was super intrigued by the design since they used cow print on a running model. When I got them in hand & started taking pictures of them, I started noticing the placement of some of the panels gave these a genuine impression of a cow & I tried to display what I saw in the pics. Thank you @sauconylifestyle for sending these over šŸ¤Ž.

Materials: the base layer of the upper is a šŸ® print w/ brindle hairs in a šŸ¤ & šŸ¤Ž shade. Surprisingly, they are really breathable on feet & have some sort of mesh/knit base underneath the print that gives the shoe a well structured feeling on foot. Moving to the mid foot, you'll find translucent panels w/ a foggy shade to them on the S logo & also used on the eyelets. The S logo has a striped, (kinda 3d shaded) black pattern that continues to the back heel, where this panel transitions into a šŸ¤ panel. Starting at the heel counter, you'll find, 'Triumph 22' branding followed by 2 translucent windows with a pull tab sitting in the middle that lowkey reminds me of a cow tail šŸ˜‚. Lastly, as you move to the tongue, there's more Saucony branding on the top of the tongue tag. Idk if it's the upper used or the added breathability on the tongue but I haven't had any issues with my feet overheating after wearing them all day, multiple days in a row.

Comfort/Sizing: as you can tell by the chunk of foam, these are super comfortable lol. They remind me of fuelcell, but are more stable & plush on feet. There's a short break in period (like 1 wear) and it loosened up in the toe box where I initially had a little discomfort. Once they broke in, it was extremely plush & responsive on feet. For sizing, I went tts in these & they fit me great. I have a tad bit of room in the toe, but with the mesh, I'd stay tts, even w/ a wide foot.

Overall Opinion: once I started taking pics of these, I couldn't unsee the characteristics of a šŸ® lol from the droopy laces (ears), the flappy pull tab (tail), & the obv šŸ® print. This was a really cool design & if you're looking to pick up a pair, they're available now at @nordstrom & @saucony
