Saucony unveils a new tonal iteration of the Shadow 6000 sneaker model for the season with the vibrant Trailian colorway palette. The shoes are a part of its running catalog and it is detailed with a plethora of tones in a color-blocking design language throughout the upper.
Notably, this palette has been seen before by the brand, having been applied to the 3D Grid Hurricane and the Originals Grid Web. Now, the construction highlights suede materials with nubuck with hues of Coral, Dark Violet, and Mustard. Additionally, it is highlighted with speckled tones of Mint as well along the laces and the sock lining to brighten up the shoe further. Rounding out the sneaker is the black mesh filling along the vamp, tongue, and midfoot.
