Comfort-Centric Leather Running Shoes

Saucony's Shadow 6000 Shoe is Made for Long Distance

— September 9, 2021 — Lifestyle
Saucony launches a new iteration of the Shadow 6000 sneaker model ever since it originally dropped three decades ago. It made its original debut back in 1991 and has been a staple option for those who run long distance due to the comfort that the design of the shoe offers.

It has a signature sole unit that is made to be progressive and supportive through a long duration of running. The upper is made from a blend of leather and suede materials across the upper and sits on top of a PWRRUN midsole foundation. The shoe retains its original colorway with a simplistic finish of white as the base later before detailed with gray and navy blue.
