Afew x Saucony 'Space and Time' Shadow 5000

Posted by Adam McManus · September 25, 2020

Looking at this shoe immediately reminds of that scene from Good Will Hunting when Will (Matt Damon) solves the math problem on the board without breaking a sweat.

Following their first collaboration with Saucony, German giants, Afew store bring to life their second instalment with a special Einsteinium effect dubbed 'Space and Time' on the (personal favourite) Shadow 5000.

Lush materials and intricate details fill the entirety of the shoe from top to bottom. Premium noir green suede wraps the toe while the quarters are layered in Letterman-style wool to keep your 1's and 2's warm and cosy. Space and Time details appear on the lace locks and aglets and if that's not enough, the midsole is covered in mathematical equations. The cherry on top is the glow in the dark outsole so your feet can still pop at night!

BODEGA x SAUCONY ORIGINALS ELITE SHADOW 5000 REISSUE

Posted by Adam McManus · October 10, 2016

Back in 2010, when the Saucony Elite concept was conceived, the original plan was for these luxurious reinterpretations of classic silhouettes to be released exclusively through high-level Japanese retailers. Boy, were people unhappy to hear that. While Saucony Elite shoes ultimately did not end up exclusive to Japan, they remained rather difficult to come by.

We’re happy to say, even six years later, that the Bodega entry into the Saucony Elite series, the suede, color-blocked Shadow 5000 remains a coveted property. As part of their ongoing tenth anniversary celebrations, the cavernous Bodega vaults have been entered, a la Tomb Raiders or Indiana Jones, and combed through. Intrepid explorers have returned to the surface with the Saucony Elite Shadow 5000.

The good news is, the shoes look as good as ever. The bad news is, they’re still a limited release. They’ll be going back into our version of King Tut’s tomb when this is all over, and who knows when the next time we’ll pull them out will be? No one particularly likes going down there; it smells weird.
