Stepping out of the shadow of the past and into the future, a classic returns in the form of the Saucony Shadow 5000. Originally released in 1989 as a performance runner, the shoe represents a period of genuine innovation in running technology where athletics met aesthetics. Nearly 30 years later, the Shadow 5000 has transcended its sporting roots and evolved into a modern classic. The sneaker features a combination of suede and nylon across the uppers, with a comfortable padded collar around the heel and a premium rubber outsole for unparalleled grip. The new clean grey colorway shows off the Shadow 5000’s sleek shape and smart use of materials to breathe new life into a modern classic.

These are incredibly good looking sneakers. I saw them and wanted them immediately. They are super comfy too. I would say they run slightly small. I am a 10 narrow and would have to buy a 10.5 to wear these with thicker socks (length wise for me). And the only reason I don't give them a 5 star review is because I do not like that when putting them on, the back of the shoe doesn't have a little tab to pull up on so it doesn't squish down into the sneaker. Otherwise, I love them and my feet are happy.

It's comfortable. I don't think it's worth it, though. The color in the photo is way darker and richer than what it really is, which is faded lavender. Looks scratched up and dull. I would not have ordered it. Bummed. Might return it.

I like the style of these, but they're lacking in comfort. They're incredibly stiff. I got the green first, and they seemed comfortable, they were just worn already. I switched to the beige, and they feel like they need breaking in (hopefully). After reading everyone's mixed reviews on sizing, I ordered these half a size up from my normal size. I wear an 8 men's in most other shoes.
Super comfortable and look fantastic. Bought size 11 and take the same size in New Balance and the fit feels very similar, the Saucony are slightly longer. Like the fact there's not too much suede on the shoe they should be easy to maintain.
I love this sneaker for every day wear, but within the first day or so out of the box the colored suede was bleeding onto the shoelaces and after a few weeks I noticed the fabric across the top of the toe box was fraying. It's a bummer because they are so comfortable but the durability is not what I was hoping for.
The photos don’t show that the toe is colored half and half. It looks so weird, I hate it. They’re comfortable, but the design of that split color on the toe drives me crazy. The other thing I hate is the laces - they’re round, which is awful to handle, but also the spacing of the lace holes isn’t even and it really hard to lace them up and tie them or to untie them. I bought them for the color scheme but when you see photos from the side you can’t see the toe colors.
I have worn this shoe twice and I really like the look of it. The durability is better than I assumed for the price, and the overall look is excellent. The laces are different than what was shown in the image... that would be my only complaint/question on this shoe so far. It shows a speckled thick lace in the image but came with flat dark green laces instead. Overall, it's a great shoe and highly comfortable.
I've had these for a few weeks now, still keeping them fresh, but they are a favorite. Other Saucony 5000's I've had are more mesh like material and have that familiar feeling of "I better not take a sharp turn while running in these" IYKYK.These are a very nice premium leather and have so much more support to the shoe, for lack of a better term. Still extremely comfortable, and they look great. Really love the colorway.
I was looking to replace my old vegan Saucony Jazz and was thrilled to find a good new vegan option. They are super cute, and seem comfortable so far. My usual size was pretty tight, so I went up a half size. My only complaint so far is that the laces are a weird thin material and seem like they won’t let long.
