You’ll have two chances to party down in Austin with Saucony Originals at the SXSW Music Festival.  Of course your chances increase if you have the ability to be in two places at once, because both these excellent parties are happening the afternoon of Thursday, March 18th!

Insound is throwing their annual, and always awesome, SXSW party, and Saucony O’s is excited to be a part again this year. Check out this line-up, and if you’re into that kind of thing, RSVP on Facebook.  Entry is open to anyone, no RSVP necessary, but it’s first-come-first served so don’t dilly dally over your breakfast tacos that morning.

Exciting news! Starting today we are doing a contest with Journeys.com where you can win a $5,000 gift card from Apple just for being witty and original. I know what you’re thinking — it’s about time someone finally came along to reward you for all your snappy comebacks and one liners!

Click on over to www.CaptionOriginals.com where every week from now until December 25, Saucony Originals and Journeys will give you a chance to write captions for fun photos from our collection. We’ll award the most Original entries each week with a special prize pack from Saucony Originals.* At the end of the contest, we’ll randomly pick a winner from the pool of caption writers and award that wordsmith with a $5,000 gift card to Apple.

And that’s not all, right now when you purchase a pair of Saucony Originals shoes from Journeys.com, we’ll throw in free shipping AND a $10 iTunes gift card, while supplies last. New shoes and new tunes. Excellent, right? Or should we say it sounds good? Hey - you come up with the witty remarks.

Check back weekly for a new photo to caption!

*Prize packs could include a Saucony Originals t-shirt, headband and duffle bag.

Starting this Thursday, November 5th through November 15th, Saucony Originals will be auctioning off a sneaker signed by more than fifty of indie music’s favorite artists on eBay’s charity auction house MissionFish.org. Proceeds will benefit Saucony’s Run for Good Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to combating childhood obesity.

Shoe stampers include Yo La Tengo, The Walkmen, The National, Jesus Lizard, Pains of Being Pure at Heart, M83, Frightened Rabbit, Pharoahe Monch, Killer Whales, and a slew of who’s who artists on the indie music stage. Signatures were collected on a size 15 Saucony Originals Jazz sneaker this past summer while Saucony Originals was helping Pitchfork Music Festival revelers set any world record they wanted with the Universal Record Database.

More details on URDB.

**UPDATE** Ebay auction live through Nov. 15th — just click HERE.

Our friends over at Thrillist – the people who bring you such genius web links as Dads in Short Shorts and Crappy Taxidermy — are celebrating true originals with a kick-ass party next Wednesday Oct 28th in Manhattan. Saucony will be there with our old skool Originals kicks and giveaways for you!

The party starts at 7pm at Antik & Kings Cross. RSVP for this good time here.

And, because I’m sure they’d love for us to remind you, Thrillist were the season champions for the NYC Summer Office League. Relive the glory here.
