Sneaker Freaker and Saucony are teaming up to drop what could be the dopest collaboration of the year. This Saturday, the Sneaker Freaker x Saucony GRID SD "Kushwacker" will be released to the general public, and you don't need a medical license to get a pair. The companion piece to the duo's highly successful GRID 9000 "Bushwacker" collab from 2012, the "Kushwacker" is poised to reach even higher levels of esteem.
Our good friends at the Atlanta-based boutique, Epitome, has partnered with Saucony to create a beautiful and distinct version of the iconic Shadow 5000 silhouette. Inspired by the 65 foot "Big Fish" statue located across the street from the shop, and mystical elements of Middle Eastern culture, the Epitome x Saucony Shadow 5000 "Righteous One" features a teal upper dressed in premium pig suede and a high grade leather toe box covered in an embossed fish scale pattern. The buttery soft leather lining leads to a memory foam insole covered in a fish graphic. A white midsole and translucent outsole, both infused with gold flakes, provides the base. As a finishing touch, a "hamsa", which is a middle eastern symbol that provides protection, appears on the tongue while the "eye of conscience" is present on the formstripe, to guide the way to the path of righteousness.
