“The Saucony concept of ‘Strong’ is unique and somewhat intangible,” explains Mechanica creative director Libby Delana. “It’s a sense of what the human soul is… it’s the runner, but also the environments explored. It’s more who you are than what you do. In essence, the struggle is what reveals ‘Strong,’ and those human experiences are what we set out to distill and showcase in this campaign.”
