Stepping out of the shadow of the past and into the future, a classic returns for Spring/Summer 2018 in the form of the Saucony Shadow 5000. Originally released in 1989 as a performance runner, the shoe represents a period of genuine innovation in running technology where athletics met aesthetics. Nearly 30 years later, the Shadow 5000 has transcended its sporting roots and evolved into a modern classic. The shoe features a combination of suede and nylon across the uppers, with a comfortable padded collar around the heel and a premium rubber outsole for unparalleled grip.
