Delving into the ethos of "Accelerate Decelerate," Asphaltgold allies with Saucony, curating a narrative that encapsulates the perpetual motion of our times and the essential pauses within that journey. Mirroring the sentiments of our frenzied epochs and interspersed moments of stillness, this collaboration redefines the Saucony Shadow 6000. This silhouette has tethered itself firmly in the realms of versatile and stylish footgear since its inception in 1991.
Amidst the frenetic pace of modern life, the Asphaltgold x Saucony Shadow 6000 gently whispers a reminder to "Decelerate," seamlessly weaving the theme into its tangible form. The sneaker is shrouded in ample suede, and an extra chunky mesh is paired with silver side panels that undulate in a wave-like form. A first for the Shadow 6000, the mudguard is subtly adorned with an embroidered Saucony logo, signifying the gentle ebb and flow of our daily pursuits and pauses. Accompanied by a gauzy synthetic overlay on the side and tongue, the coarse mesh peeks through, almost translucently, offering a delicate juxtaposition of textures.
The shoe's color scheme silently narrates a story of balance, where light grey & off-white are entwined with white and olive, peppered with silver and grey details, and a Wave logo poised in black, succinctly aligning with the theme.
The Asphaltgold x Saucony Shadow 6000 Accelerate Decelerate will release on October 14, 2023, exclusively via Asphaltgold online and in-store. Coming in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $169. Keep it locked to our Twitter and the Sole Retriever mobile app for the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
