Raised by Wolves Spring 23 & Saucony Originals "Wolf Pack"
In the last month, I've launched my Spring 23 collection and not one but two shoes with Saucony Originals.
***DEEP SIGH OF RELIEF***
Now that the dust has settled, I'd like to take a second to share some of my most recent work.
Spring 23 marks the first of two collections that Raised by Wolves will release in its 15th anniversary year. The typography-focused collection was entirely produced in Canada and shot at the beautiful Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello .
The Raised by Wolves x Saucony Originals "Wolf Pack" consists of two shoes, the Jazz 81 "Feral Child" and the Grid Azura 2000 "Pack Leader." Combined, these shoes tell the story of an unruly youth growing up to be a leader in their community.

It was an honour to work on the iconic Jazz 81 silhouette, which, at the time of design, was to celebrate its 40th anniversary. Still, the Grid Azura 2000 is one of my proudest design accomplishments to date. With the final product in hand, I rarely say I wouldn't change a thing, and the Pack Leader is no exception.
Since late 2021 I've owned and operated Raised by Wolves solo. I don't easily talk about myself; I'd rather let my work do the talking, but it's an important step in my career to acknowledge my own successes in order to keep growing as a designer and entrepreneur. The past few years haven't been easy for small businesses in general, but for myself and RBW, the last year and a half has genuinely been trial by fire. I'm incredibly proud of my accomplishments and perseverance, but I'm most excited about what's to come.
Having said all that, I'm so fortunate to work closely with so many incredibly talented and inspiring individuals, designers, photographers, factories and brands; I would not be able to do this without you and for that, I appreciate you. This community is truly the foundation of the brand, what keeps it alive and what keeps me going.
Thank you for your support.
Much love,
Cal
