Emerging from the shadows of the past and leaping into the future, this classic returns in the form of the Saucony Shadow 5000. Released atorigine in 1989 as a performance running shoe, the shoe represents a period of true innovation in running technology, where athleticism met aesthetics. Now, 30 years later, the Shadow 5000 has transcended its sporting roots to become a modern classic. The shoe features a combination of suede and nylon on the upper, with a comfortable padded collar around the heel and a premium rubber outsole.
