Introducing the Sneakers76 x Saucony Shadow 5000 Legend of God Taras. This mythical inspired release is the final instalment and collaborative release from Italian based Sneakers76 for their 10th anniversary celebrations.
After having launched initially via Sneakers76, this Saucony quickly sold out making it a hugely sought-after shoe when it launches in a wider release. Here’s what you can expect from this one of a kind silhouette.
Sneakers76 look to their home town of Taranto – a picturesque coastal village in Italy – as inspiration behind this rework of the Shadow 5000. According to legend, it was founded by the ancient god Taras as a gift to Poseidon, who had sent a dolphin to rescue Taras from a shipwreck.
To capture this theme, Sneakers76 opt for maritime colour scheme with deep hues of blue hitting the heel and tongue. It’s complimented by a grey coloured sidewall and vibrant hits of red at the toe.
The premium suede of this sneak is complimented by perforated detailing across the sidewall and toe region while a tan coloured leather tab hits the tongue. Other unique features include the wood coated tab on the midsole and trident debossed tongues – a subtle nod to this mythological story. Finally, dual branding features throughout.
The Sneakers76 x Saucony Shadow 5000 Legend of God Taras is scheduled to release on Wednesday 18th January via the retailers listed.
