Extra Butter joined forces with Saucony for an all new Shadow 600 silhouette, which pays homage to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland celebrating specifically the White Rabbit. You can find nods to the White Rabbit throughout the sneaker’s color palette, as well as hits that represent the visual of going “down the rabbit hole.”
It starts with a white base across its premium leather, pig suede, and sport mesh upper. Contrast come in the form of red and blue hits as well as reflective detailing. You’ll also find a white rabbit graphic on the tongue, which replaces the Saucony “running man” logo. Furthermore, Extra Butter adds a hidden reference to the original inspiration behind the phrase “further down the rabbit hole,” while the colorful box features psychedelic undertones that are known to occur in the story.
The Extra Butter x Saucony Shadow 600 will release alongside full apparel and accessories collection, which will continue the Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland theme. Including a T-shirt, hoodie, sweatpants and a deck of cards, the pack features a ’70s-inspired set of psychedelic white rabbit graphics.
Launching the collaboration, Extra Butter’s Bernie Gross said:
“In an age of information overload and technology influenced social behavior, we’re seeing a shift in questioning one’s purpose, identity and even how one can alter reality and truth around them. We’re seeing people utilize the web to dig deeper into knowledge, while others look to disconnect and explore within their subconscious for spiritual or psychedelic enlightenment. Though this shoe design is simple at first glance, there are nuances that elevate the design and speak to willingness to discover.”
Extra Butter’s take on the Saucony Shadow 600 is available alongside the apparel capsule from the brand’s Lower East Side and Long Island City locations, as well as its web store. A global release is due at select retailers on January 7. You can take a detailed look at the gallery above.
