"Accelerate Decelerate" — two opposites that attract each other, that cannot function independently of each other — such as yin and yang.

‍

‍

In our fast-paced reality, the moment of “slowing down” is particularly important. Our environment accelerates almost by itself, so we need to focus on consciously decelerating — just for a moment.

‍

‍

Asphaltgold's upcoming collaboration with Saucony represents this moment. After all, for over 40 years, the brand has stood for fast running shoes and therefore for movement and speed.

‍

‍

The Shadow 6000, which was released in 1991, was no exception. The Saucony x Asphaltgold Shadow 6000 comes in a classic version with lots of suede and particularly rough mesh, paired with a silver wavy side panel.

‍

‍

A little special feature: The Shadow 6000 mudguard has an embroidered mini wave for the first time!

‍

‍

There is also a wafer-thin synthetic overlay on the side and tongue, which allows the rough mesh to shine through easily.

‍

‍

The color mix of the Saucony x Asphaltgold Shadow 6000 “Accelerate Decelerate” is - in keeping with the theme - restrained yet harmonious, light gray & off-white meets white and olive, plus details in silver, gray and the Wave logo in black.

‍

‍

The model will be released on October 14 Instore First At 11 am at Asphaltgold Store in Darmstadt. The Online Release follows on the same day at 6 pm via Asphaltgold online shop.

English Release Information:‍

Accelerate Decelerate — two opposites that attract each other, that cannot work independently of each other — like yin and yang.

In Our Fast-Moving Reality, the Moment of “Decelerate” is particularly important. Our environment ensures acceleration almost on its own, which is why we have to concentrate on consciously decelerating - just for a moment. Asphaltgold's upcoming collaboration with Saucony represents this moment.

After all, the brand has stood for fast running shoes for over 40 years, meaning it has always ensured movement and speed. The Shadow 6000, originally released in 1991, was no exception.

The Saucony x Asphaltgold Shadow 6000 comes in a classic material version with lots of suede and particularly coarse-mesh, paired with a silver wave-shaped side panel. Small special features: for the very first time, the Mudguard of the Shadow 6000 has an embroidered mini wave! There is also a wafer-thin synthetic overlay on the side and tongue, which allows the coarse-mesh to shine through almost translucently!

The color mix of the “Accelerate Decelerate” is - in keeping with the theme - reserved and yet harmonious, light gray & off-white meets white and olive, plus details in silver, gray and the wave logo in black.
