Stepping out of the shadow of the past and leaping into the future, this 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. Now, 30 years later, the Shadow 5000 has transcended its sporting roots and evolved into a modern classic.
The casual BIRKENSTOCK Kyoto takes its inspiration from the classic Zürich model and stands out with its compact design and individually adjustable buckle. This offers optimum grip and is complemented by two decorative rivets. The upper is made from especially soft suede which hugs the foot like a second skin combined with high-quality nubuck leather.
