Get Intouch With Your Wild Side With Saucony’s DXN Lodge Pack
Saucony DXN Lodge Pack
Initially released as an exclusive in the US, the Saucony DXN Lodge Pack was a massive hit in the new year, and Aphrodite can now officially say we have managed to secure a very limited number in both the camo and wool styles. Based on the iconic 1980s iconic silhouette, the DXN Lodge Pack boasts all the key elements that made the style what it is, pushing the boundaries in innovation and sneaker design.
Originally designed by Rod Dixon, one of the most prolific runners of all time, the DXN shoe was born from a collaboration between Rod and Saucony after he won the New York Marathon in 1983. He wanted to design and create a running shoe that would be able to withstand the harsh demands of long distance running. The silhouette itself has been re-imaged many times with different colourways and materials throughout its history, and 30 years on its still being reinvented for the modern audience, bringing the history of the brand to the forefront of the design.
Playing homage to Rod Dixon and his roots to his home country of New Zealand, the DXN has been given a makeover of all makeovers for the Lodge Pack. Taking inspiration from the expansive land and wilderness of New Zealand where Rod once roamed, these sneakers will not look out of place during a forest hike or urban commute alike.
Coming in 2 colours – wool and camo, the wilderness and nature influence can instantly be seen in both shoes. The wool versions offers a clean grey aesthetic with insulation and wicking benefits where as the camo version has been give a hunter camo printed upper. Both pairs sit upon the Dixon midsole, a gum rubber outsole with enough grip to keep you on your feet in the harshest of weathers, crisp waxed laces to give a water resistant finish and arguably the best part of the design is the Long John Lining, to keep your toes toasty on the chilly nights. These are a unique sneaker that we are sure will be a massive hit on our site.
The Saucony Lodge Pack will be available to purchase online and in-store from Thursday 28th May.
