Saucony debuts a new design for its highly popular Jazz range--the Jazz 4000 OG. The model delivers with a retro sporty aesthetic that is sure to capture the attention of many consumers who are wishing to inject their everyday style with some nostalgic connotations. The tongue tag is also worth noting as it "presents a striped running man graphic." The heel tag, on the other hand, presents "an intentionally jumbled Jazz text."
In addition to the white upper that is accented with pink and purple hues throughout, the Jazz 4000 OG also does not sacrifice performance. The construction of the shoe boasts mesh and suede, the former material delivering much-needed feature of breathability.
The 90s-influenced Jazz 4000 OG runners are made available to consumers at approximately $115 USD.
