Saucony rework the classic Shadow 6000 silhouette in to three new colour ways inspired by Irish Coffee.
The collection pays homage to a man named Joe Sheridan, who in 1943 introduced the now hugely popular drink of Irish Coffee to a room full of abandoned travellers. Drawing inspiration from the key components needed to create the tipple, the classic 90’s runner arrives in three rich colour ways of black, light brown and a tonal off white, representing the coffee, Irish whisky and cream respectively. Each shoe has been constructed from a buttery Wolverine suede on the upper, all sitting on top of a white EVA midsole and lugged gum outsole for extra traction in the slippery conditions.
I’m always up for a new pack release from Saucony, especially when it comes with an interesting concept behind it. With a lot of brands however, I do sometimes find that the more interesting the concept the more complicate the design, to a point where the shoe is barely wearable. The Irish Coffee pack not only has a good story behind it but is also well executed from the colour to the materials. Each minimal colour way is as wearable as the next, complimenting the sleek shape of the ever popular Shadow 6000.
You can expect the Saucony Shadow 6000 ‘Irish Coffee’ pack to be arriving the week commencing 7th of December at select UK retailers.
