Saucony Shadow 5000 Sneaker Navy Gray
Dark blue suede, gray mesh and a gray-beige S on the side. The Saucony Shadow 5000 comes from the running archive of the eighties and hasn’t left the sneaker closet since.
What this model brings from the eighties
Back then, the Shadow 5000 was a serious training shoe. What’s left of that is the construction: the low silhouette, the layered panels and the triangular lugs under the sole. Those lugs, XT-600 in Saucony’s language, give the tread its grip, and you notice that on a wet sidewalk.
Suede and mesh mixed together
The upper consists of sections of suede and sections of open mesh. The suede keeps the shoe in shape, the mesh lets air through where your foot gets warmest. Navy and gray blend into each other, so the shoe looks calmer from a distance than it turns out to be up close.
How it wears all day
Under your foot is an EVA midsole, the light foam that absorbs the impact of your heel. For a shoe with so many stitched-on layers, it weighs little. Suitable if you’re looking for a shoe you put on in the morning and don’t take off until the evening.
What dark blue looks good with
Navy is darker than gray and lighter than black, which is why it looks good under jeans in almost any wash. If you want more contrast, the shoe looks best under pants that fall just a little shorter, so the sole stays visible.
How to keep the suede looking good
Water and soap leave suede blotchy. Dry-brush the shoe clean with a suede brush and then brush the fibers in one direction. We have it in sizes 43 through 49; check the Saucony size guide to see how it fits you, or try it on in our store in Den Bosch.
We sell navy all year round, because it’s dark enough for winter and doesn’t look as heavy as black. Try it on in the store with the sock you normally wear.
