The Saucony x Saucony collection features top-quality materials and craftsmanship typically reserved for collaborations—it’s Saucony’s take on Saucony.
The Shadow 6000 Kintsugi is no exception: the latest Saucony x Saucony sneaker is inspired by Kintsugi.
Kintsugi is a Japanese art form in which broken pottery is repaired with liquid gold,
leaving a visible gold seam where the cracks originally were.
The Shadow 6000 Kintsugi draws on this ancient tradition and features visible imperfections that have been stitched together with metallic gold embroidery, telling a story of the passage of time.
The art of kintsugi teaches us to embrace flaws and imperfections, based on the idea that once something broken is mended, it becomes stronger and better than it was before.
The Shadow 6000 Kintsugi features a perforated nubuck upper, a speckled midsole, premium suede overlays, and an embossed tongue. No detail has been overlooked.
The design features distressed-looking leather, raw edges, and pops of gold metallic—crafted with only the highest-quality materials for all Saucony enthusiasts and sneakerheads alike.
The Saucony x Saucony Shadow 6000 "Kintsugi" drops on September 2 at 43einhalb, Allike, Asphaltgold, and SUPPA.
