Saysh One Sneakers are Giving Back

Allyson Felix was formerly sponsored by Nike but found herself at a crossroads when trying to renegotiate her contract in 2018 while she was pregnant. The star athlete revealed that Nike wanted her to take a 70% pay cut in her new contract because they didn’t have a maternity policy in place at the time. Since then, Allyson inked an apparel deal with Athleta but she was still without a shoe sponsor. This in turn led her to start her own footwear brand: Saysh, which she co-founded with her brother Wes Felix. The Saysh One is the brands first lifestyle sneaker to be released and Allyson revealed recently, the Saysh Two is coming soon.
The Saysh One sneaker was designed with the idea of ultimate comfort in mind. It’s also the first shoe in the world that was designed using the actual mold of a women’s foot. The Saysh One has a wider front with a narrower heel which allows for your weight distribution to land where your foot is being supported. The base of the sneaker is made out of one single sheet of fabric with no seams to avoid rubbing and irritation. The fabric is also stretchy and moldable so that it’s able to conform to your feet without squeezing them. The tongue is made from a double-layer foam designed by Saysh themselves, to also avoid further irritation. Tying everything together, is a soft foam heel to curb blisters from forming or you having to break the shoes in. As of right now, four colorways are available: black, white, blue, and summer fade. Peep the pictures below for a more in-depth look into the sneakers.
