The Estudio Niksen x Saucony Trainer 80 draws inspiration from life beyond the city.

Closer to nature, shaped by movement, work, and quieter moments somewhere between routine and escape. Workwear influences meet a soft yet functional execution, placing the classic Trainer 80 into a new context.

The color palette draws from natural elements: earthy tones, sun-bleached neutrals, and organic textures. Brushed suede, lightweight textiles, and distinctive embroidery details add depth while creating a deliberately reduced and cohesive overall look.

Hairy suede is used on the toe, heel, and eyestay, paired with a ripstop mesh upper. The design is complemented by an embroidered River logo, a zigzag stitch logo, contrasting stitching, and woven co-branding on the tongue.

The design is rounded off with additional laces in various colors, a leather lining in the collar, a custom sockliner, and a specially developed box design.
