Official Saucony Originals / Retro Thread

That huge mint/teal color tongue on the shadow masters made me pass on the premiers and those jazz court looking like some vans. Ppl will buy anything these days.
But the box was dope tho.

I know I'm in the minority, but went ahead and purchased the premier pack. Excited to get it in hand. And at the very least, can't complain about the price (120 per shoe and free ship compared to 150+ for most collabs nowadays). Copped a couple different kicks in the last few days, but most excited to see this pack.

Hate if you must, but everyone has their own taste/opinion!
 
They will, no one wants skate shoes

Well said. I also hope the resellers get stuck with them like today's concepts collab but personally, I love skate shoes. I would have picked up the skate version if they sold them individually for sure but didn't really want the other shoe (too many mint colored shoes already).

The G9's arrived, loving them such a nice colourway!

Repped. I like the "skate shoes" too (helps I'm a huge fan of the Jazz silhouette done right (i.e., anteaters). Plus they can function as a dress-casual shoe for work.
 
frostybuds, what size are you?
usually a 10 in most saucony's but no worries on the oop (appreciate the thought though). I ended up caving and copping the sb grail lows the same day after I told myself no more shoes till at least October. I'm probably gonna have to cave again and get those kushwackers I missed next paycheck though

I wonder what's next, heard the new offsprings dropping in the end of the month..might be too early.
Spoke to a manager at my local Offspring yesterday reference their upcoming Saucony collaboration and, although he was understandably a bit tight-lipped about the project, he was gracious enough to show me in their employee release schedule that they're slated for an 8 Aug drop.  I was grillin' hard too to see if there was a pic anywhere in the newsletter thing-a-majig as he was flippin' through, but alas, 'twas not.  
Info por favor?

Epitome x Saucony Shadow 5000 "Righteous One"

Sold out at all retail spots now.  Best bet for a pair is the 'bay or some reseller's "bigcartel" site.  Good luck!

Welp, approximately 3 weeks ago, I posted on page 666 of this thread about how I was still awaiting the arrival of the pair of Kushwhackers I ordered direct from SneakerFreaker during their June 12 (13th in Aussie land) release.  I had just received my "back-up" pair procured from a US shop during the 27 June WW release and, with each passing day, was growing ever more skeptical the pair "shipped" from SF would ever make it here.

As if the 2 weeks it took to ship weren't bad enough (ship date 24 June), SF sent no tracking # with their shipping confirmation notice.  With weeks having passed and no tracking to monitor the whereabouts of my package, I reached out to the customer service team at SF to no avail.  After receiving nothing but radio silence in response to the first two emails I sent, I finally got an answer to the third.  I guess the third time truly is to charm because this is when SF's customer service team kicked into high gear.  

Apparently my initial order was never shipped or at least the warehouse had no record of it so, for my troubles, not only did SF fully refund my purchase, but also they sent me a FREE pair of Kushwhacker's with a load of extras (pictured below).  Although it was a painful journey to get here, I can't front...I'm happy now.

  And, I have my socks (in the correct size even...US men's 7.5-12)!
