With the Rio Olympics about to blast off, OFFSPRING and Saucony are gearing up to release a celebratory collaboration for sneakerheads out there. The Shadow 5000 “Medal” pack is a nod to the first and only Olympic Games to be held in the southern United States back in 1996. In turn, the “Medal” pack celebrates the importance of athletic accomplishments across track and field.
Appropriately, three colorways of the Shadow 5000 are presented, representing the gold, silver and bronze medals. Each entry features metallic toes on tonal premium nubuck uppers, woven braided laces and metal aglets. A medallion-inspired logo has been applied to the tongue, while “OFFSPRING Covent Garden 1996” is imprinted along the edge. Finally, commemorative cobble print is welcomed on the sockliner, and “running since…96”, which is a play on Saucony’s original motto, is noted on alternate feet.
You can grab the OFFSPRING x Saucony Shadow 5000 “Medal” from select OFFSPRING stores and online.
Purposefully Fresh
