We took all our most Iconic Silhouettes and treated them with the most premium fabrics we have. Our goal? Give them a sophisticated and versatile look that can be more casual. 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.
