The Saucony Grid Shadow 2 "Creek Marsh" is Available Now

Hot on the heels of its much-anticipated OG colorway revival, the Saucony Grid Shadow 2 is poised to make another splash this Fall. For those who've been around since its 1996 debut, the sneaker's re-emergence is an overdue but well-timed nod to the classics. If June's Paris Fashion Week appearance by Robert Griffiths, Saucony’s Global Brand President, didn't convince you that the Grid Shadow 2 is back with a vengeance, the upcoming "Creek Marsh" edition certainly will.

Building on the shoe’s inherently eclectic construction, which effortlessly balances mesh bases with suede, leather, and plastic overlays, the "Creek Marsh" edition weaves an organic tapestry suitable for Fall. The textured leather overlays are awash in earthy greens, setting the stage for the hairy suede inserts that add layers of depth and character.

But the shoe's magic trick is the juxtaposition of cool, sky blues that adorn the perforated toe box and heel. Contrasted against these lighter tones, darker, more saturated shades highlight the trims, the woven label, and the creek-inspired logo nestled into the shoe profile. To cap it off, strategic hits of white and cream seamlessly pull the entire color scheme together, delivering a balanced yet eye-catching aesthetic.

The blend of greens and blues offers a seasonally apt color story that wouldn't be out of place amidst the colors of a woodland creek in autumn. As with its previous iterations, comfort isn't sacrificed for style; the chunky cushioning underfoot is not just a nostalgia trip but aligns perfectly with today's "dad shoe" trend, offering a blend of form and function.
