Saucony x ACT N°1: ProGrid Ride 1 Hits the Milan Fashion Week Runway
ACT N°1 brings Saucony’s ProGrid Ride 1 into its Spring/Summer 2027 collection, pairing an archival running silhouette with a fashion-forward Milanese runway aesthetic.
MILAN — For its Spring/Summer 2027 presentation on September 26, ACT N°1 partnered with Saucony, bringing the brand’s ProGrid Ride 1 sneaker to the runway during Milan Fashion Week.
The collaboration adds a performance-driven element to ACT N°1’s collection, with the ProGrid Ride 1 reinforcing the dynamic character of the presentation.
FROM RUNNING TO THE RUNWAY
Originally introduced as a versatile everyday running trainer, the ProGrid Ride 1 brings a 2008 running silhouette into a contemporary lifestyle context.
The reissued model features neutral cushioning, an open-hole hexagonal mesh upper and a lightweight foam-cushioned midsole, combining technical construction with everyday wearability.
A signature webbed shank cage adds structure, while light-refracting geometric metallic overlays give the sneaker a sculptural, retro-tech finish.
PERFORMANCE MEETS FASHION
The collaboration reflects the increasingly fluid relationship between performance footwear and contemporary fashion.
The ProGrid Ride 1 retains elements of Saucony’s running heritage while moving naturally into a lifestyle setting, connecting technical design, archival references and runway fashion.
Available in five colorways and unisex sizing, the ProGrid Ride 1 is priced at $140 through Saucony.com.
SAUCONY X ACT N°1
The partnership brings together Saucony’s technical footwear heritage and ACT N°1’s fashion-driven perspective.
On the Milan runway, the ProGrid Ride 1 becomes more than a running shoe. Its mesh construction, metallic overlays and retro-tech proportions place archival performance design within a contemporary fashion context.
Saucony x ACT N°1 reflects the continued convergence of fashion and performance — with sneakers moving seamlessly from the track to the runway and into everyday culture.
