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 back in 1989 as a performance model, the shoe represents a period of genuine innovation in running technology where athletics met aesthetics. 29 years later, the Shadow 5000 has transcended its sporting roots and evolved into a modern classic.
