Saucony and Engineered Garments linked up for the first time last fall and retooled the Shadow Original to look like wingtip. The flourishes could have been missed within the all-brown and all-black colorways, but they’ll now come firmly into the foreground with more dynamic color-blocking.
The Engineered Garments x Saucony Shadow Original Wingtip is returning this week in a black and white colorway. A mix of the two colors throughout the upper’s paneling brings out the wingtip toe overlay to greater effect while also emphasizing additional brogue detailing throughout. Rope laces and a leather insole sit well within the theme, and the sole unit is rendered in all-black.
