EG aren’t strangers to collaborating with both large- and small-scale entities, having worked with the likes of Uniqlo and Mark McNairy on the garment front. Similarly, their footwear has involved both obscure brands and household names. This is a brief history of Engineered Garments’ sneaker collaborations.
Vans
SoCal brand Vans are one of EG’s longest-running collaborators, with efforts dating back to as early as 2013. The mismatched material motif associated with contemporary EG pieces carries over to classic adidas tubular gray mens hair salon n nearby and . Suzuki’s love of surfing makes this colab quite (pun intended).

Looking anachronistically straight outta mid-70s Japanese magazine Made in U.S.A., this colab exercised understated Nordic style, with only subtle insole co-branding to distinguish the pairing. Those blue suede joints are pretty sweet.

Sticklers for detail will spot the material menagerie at play, such as the embroidered stripes, variable Primeknit pattern, asymmetric contrast, and tasty gum sole.

Converse

Instead of going to town on the materials, four variations of the brand’s logos were used, including the ‘Stars ‘n’ Bars’, chevron, and two different stars.

Continuing Suzuki’s athletic aspirations, EG began collaborating with in 2018, creating six different versions of the lightweight Hupana runner. Not long after, they released the chunky, trail-munching in tonal sades. 2019 bore their most distinct colab: the chunky, funky that HOKA brought back from 2011, just for EG. That rainbow pair is absolutely crazy, and perhaps a fitting final hurrah of the ‘Dad Shoe’ movement.

British heritage brand Gola was a somewhat unlikely partnership in 2017, with EG executing two tonal colourways each in the Harrier and Aztec models. While EG’s other collaborations from that year were visually engaging, this four-pack – in relative terms – was quite abnormal in its tonal execution.
New Balance
Running shoes seem to be the (ahem) running theme for EG colabs. While sneaker culture was at critical mass in 2019 when the colab released, back in 2013 EG actually collaborated with the Boston brand on the 993, as a Nepenthes NY-exclusive. The asymmetric execution was simple and effective, so they did the same thing on the 990v5, but with some extra materials and tonal colourways. This marked arguably the most prolific time EG have legal in the sneakersphere.
Other Collaborations
Outside of sneakers, the trademark EG touches have been applied to plenty of footwear partners. KEEN x EG kept toes steezy and breezy earlier this year, while DMX was enlisted as the face of x EG’s 2017 effort. While Tricker’s, Danner, Dr. Martens, Trippen, and G.H. Bass have held down the ‘grown-up shoe’ front.
One thing’s for sure, whatever collaborative creations Engineered Garments have cooking up next will be distinctly theirs.
