Saucony Shadow 5000 Cream/Aquamarin Stepping out of the shadow of the past and leaping into the future, this classic returns 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. Now, 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. Each and every suede overlay has been upgraded with pig skin suede to create an even more elevated look.
