What makes the Shadow 6000 different from its Shadow siblings?
Shoes from the Shadow series may look identical, but take a closer look and you’ll discover slight changes that make each one unique.
- A shoe that was released 4 years after the Original’s debut, the Shadow 5000 still has a TPU heel stabilizer - but cleaner and more compact. Its midsole and upper paneling, however, now provide greater support and stability.
- Compared to the Shadow Original, the Shadow 6000 is more comfortable and protective, thanks to its bulked-up cushioning and the removed TPU heel support.
Still looking spiffy after 3 decades
30 years after, the Saucony Shadow may no longer be an A-lister in the realm of running, but it continues to amp up its game in the world of fashion. This is all thanks to its retro vibe.
Sneakerheads attest to this saying, it gives a "distinctly cool look."

Won't hurt the bank
Retailing for only $100, the Saucony Shadow 6000 is what we and many sneaker fans consider affordable.
Looks heavy and is heavy
The Shadow 6000 is not only bulky-looking; it's also clunky when worn. Users wish for the brand to make it lighter since it's a bottom-heavy sneaker.
A word of caution for wide feet
The forefoot area has limited width and height. Critics share that it's "too tight."
