The Shadow 5000 is a Saucony icon, originating in 1989 as a performance runner during a time of noteworthy innovation in the running industry. Over the years, the sneaker has remained a brand staple, more recently transitioning to a go-to lifestyle option. The old school style features a mesh and suede upper, embellished with Saucony iconography throughout, including hits at the sidewall, tongue, and heel. A soft-touch collar and lining enhance comfort day in and day out, as the shoe is outfitted with an EVA midsole for superior shock absorption. The Shadow 5000 is finished with an XT-600 triangular lug outsole to offer increased grip each step of the way.
