Saucony ProGrid Guide 7 Stan Birch

The Saucony ProGrid Guide 7 Stan Birch with style code S71070-2 is the first official sneaker collaboration of Paris-based designer Stan Birch, who built his name hand-customising footwear and apparel under the Flou Customs moniker. The ProGrid Guide 7 started life as a stability running shoe in Saucony's performance line and has since been brought back as a lifestyle silhouette, with the ProGrid cushioning platform still in place. Birch's version was first shown at Saucony's Paris showroom during Paris Fashion Week in June 2026 and is built around his "Stand Out" mantra: a shoe you can keep restyling yourself instead of wearing it the way it came out of the box.

Colorway: Cream / Mint / Purple

The Saucony ProGrid Guide 7 Stan Birch combines an open double-layer mesh upper in cream with overlays in nubuck, suede and leather: peach-toned leather and pale mint suede panels shape the midfoot and heel, while the midsole is finished largely in deep burgundy. Small metallic gold accents at the toe and heel draw the eye along the length of the shoe. The customisation idea sits in the details: the river logo on the side is an interchangeable velcro patch that ships in multiple colours, and several alternative lace sets are included so the look can be changed in minutes. "STAND OUT" is embroidered on the heel, the tongue carries co-branded Saucony x Stan Birch labelling, Birch's name is printed on the asymmetrical custom sockliner, and the whole pair comes in a box with a custom all-over print. With a retail price of €159 and a release on 10 September 2026, style code S71070-2 is a limited drop in every sense.

How does the Saucony ProGrid Guide 7 Stan Birch fit?

The Saucony ProGrid Guide 7 Stan Birch is released in unisex sizing that follows Saucony's men's sizes, so men can take their regular size, while women generally need to go down from their usual women's size; check the Saucony size chart to be sure. The shoe comes in a medium width only, and the open double mesh upper with suede and leather overlays gives a secure but not tight fit around the midfoot. The ProGrid cushioning and the custom sockliner provide the stable, supportive feel the Guide line was originally designed for.
