When we got a look at the Bodega x Saucony Shadow 5000 collaboration back in February, the initial word didn’t reveal the entire story. Turns out, these Boston-based brands were working together to create an entire line of premium kicks that will be distributed ONLY in Japan. Saucony Elite will see small runs of ultra-luxe retro kicks issued under its umbrella, and from the looks of these first pairs, the collection is as good as it gets. Click the jump for more shots and stick with Sneaker News, cos it’ll probably be impossible for Bodega to resist the urge to release at least a few of these here in their Beantown location. via SF
