What We’re Saying: UK retailer END. is continuing its collaborative partnership with Saucony by releasing a new take on the Azura 2000. Dubbed "The Brain," this reimagining of the retro runner draws inspiration from human anatomy — more specifically — the most complex organ in the body, the brain.

The shade of pink utilized on the underlays and the tongue is meant to mimic that of the brain. END. then implemented a bespoke pattern on the outsole and the interior to ensure the collaboration stands out even further. Familiar design elements of the Azura 2000 remain intact for "The Brain" release, including the signature paneled uppers and GRID technology.

You can go ahead and enter the raffle for the END. x Saucony Azura 2000 "The Brain" leading up to the launch on March 12. The sneaker comes with an END.-branded stress ball that's designed to look like a brain.
