END X Saucony Grid 8500 “Lobster” Review
Description
Practically anything can inspire brands and this collab project between END and Saucony makes lobster its main point of reference. And so, it makes sense that the colorway is orange and white, with cream accents on the tongue, collar, and mid panel. Made from premium leather and suede, the END X Saucony Grid 8500 “Lobster” mixes the GRID 9000 on the upper and GRID 8000 on the sole, and features END branding on the tongue and Saucony branding on the hind sole. Completing the is the subtle but white-sprinkled laces, mesh toe box, and rubber and gum outsole.

Inspired by a creature of the sea, the END X Saucony Grid 8500 “Lobster” comes through in orange and white colorway, accented by cream on the suede mid panel, soft collar, and padded tongue. Made primarily in leather and gum outsole, these kicks are a nice blend of distinctive inspiration and great execution.
