Play Cloths follows up its last collaborative release with Saucony with this new set of Shadow 5000s dubbed the “Cotton Candy Pack”. Built with lux suede uppers and featuring the iconic starry perforated toe-boxes, Play Cloths’ latest rendition of the Saucony Shadow 5000 is defined by three distinct pastel colors that represent the fluffy sweets often see at carnivals, street fairs, and other summer-time family outings. All three feature tonal uppers of Dream Blue, Coral Almond, and Mimosa with white midsoles, gum outsoles, special inner linings, and the aforementioned star detailing at the toe-box, laying out the perfect “summer shoe” vibe. The Play Cloths x Saucony Shadow 5000 “Cotton Candy Pack” will release in limited numbers in the coming weeks – first exclusively for users of the Swaag iPhone App (download for free and be first in line to cop) followed by a later release at select retailers, so enjoy the exclusive gallery below and stay tuned for a firm release date.

You’d think that the Play Cloths boys Pusha and Malice would be holding out for a Bape collaboration given the extent to which they’ve obsessed over Nigo’s creations during their career. Such is not the case, as they’ve instead teamed up with Saucony to crank out two gaudy versions of the Saucony Shadow 5000 silhouette. Pictured are the pairs from the ‘Precious Medals’ pack, one silver and gold (and both adorned with some slick starred embossing down on the front end). Hit the jump for a look at the pairs and get your hands on them now at select accounts like Feature Sneaker Boutique in Las Vegas.

The first running shoe collaboration from a brand born of two rappers who stand out as some of the most clever wordsmiths during an era of hip-hop dominated by cartoonish themes, Play Cloths reveals their blingy ‘Precious Metals’ Saucony Shadow 5000s. Metallic gold or silver with starry toes that’d make WHIZ Limited proud, Play Cloths’ Shadow 5000s will show off co-branded tongues at select retailers later this season, and you can more of see both pairs together after the jump.

Saucony has been deliberate in expanding upon the momentum they gained from the superb Elite capsule, but it looks like they might follow fellow Bodega partner New Balance’s example and take advantage of more collaborative opportunities.
