BARE KNUCKLES and Brooks Running have reworked the Cascadia 1 in washed brown suede, pairing the original silhouette with a finish intended to vary from shoe to shoe. The collaboration replaces the upper with natural suede and hairier overlays in a Hot Fudge, Coffee and Pirate Black palette.
According to the official product description, the suede receives a potassium and enzyme wash before factory hand-brushing. The process gives individual pairs an uneven, worn-in appearance rather than a uniform surface.
The shoe includes a reinforced toe, HydroFlow cushioning with updated midsole foam, a Ballistic Rock Shield between the midsole and outsole, and a lugged rubber outsole. The listed heel-to-toe drop is 12 millimetres.
Co-branded details extend to the insoles, lace tips, box and tissue paper, alongside a debossed BARE KNUCKLES star motif. Brown, yellow and white laces accompany the design.
