Saucony Shadow Original Olive Black Review

By Anthony Levine, longtime sneaker collector. Updated: 04-27-2018

I’m a big fan of this model, but it had been a while since my last pickup. When a site sale came up, I had to jump on this Saucony Shadow Original Olive & Black colorway.

These are a standard pair of GR Shadow Originals and as such don’t really have any story or inspiration, but the color scheme reminds me of the Loden SB dunk lows.

Definitely sport these with dark pants, whether dark blue or black denim. These do have a fall vibe too, so I suppose some khakis might work, but the safest bet is a darker outfit.

So, another Shadow Original in the books. I can’t lie, to this day this is one of my favorite low key super comfy and good looking models. If you want to expand the collection for cheap with a nice looking retro runner, you can hardly go wrong with something like this!

How Are The Materials?

These have typical GR Saucony materials, AKA nothing special. The construction is simple and well built, but the suede is nothing to write home about. That said, it isn’t exactly the sandpaper/felt suede either. I would put it one tick above that in quality. Still, materials fiends are probably going to want to look elsewhere.

How Do They Fit?

The Saucony Shadow Original Olive fit fine at true to size. The shoes have lots of give to prevent this from being too snug.
