Saucony introduces its new Astrotrail pack of shoes that are designed with inspiration from the Zodiac. It celebrates the core elements of the universe, nodding to the earth, water, fire, and air. The silhouettes that are foundational to the pack include the Grid Azura 2000, the Shadow 5000, Mad River 2 TR, and the Peregrine 11.
The whimsical theme distributes the themes to the shoes, as water is the focus for the Mad River 2. Fire is the theme for the Azura 2000, earth for the Peregrine 11 shoe, and Air is the focus for the Shadow 5000 sneaker. Each shoe is adorned in functional details, made to tackle any outdoor terrain. On top of being the design inspiration, each shoe also focuses on the earthy function.
