Hello and thanks for stopping by! The Shadows are very comfortable and I have them in 2 other colors. The ones on sale are new without tags/ box and are in great condition. The suede may need a light brushing but really not bad. I'm a bit ocd myself so I had to mention it. Thanks again! Details from the Saucony website: Performance was in mind when this shoe debuted in our running line in the 80s, but now it’s all about looks and comfort. The Shadow 5000 has both of those in spades, and will keep your sneaker game fresh with these on-point colorways. Overview: Classic mesh and suede upper Lace-up front with speed lace mid and top eyelets Soft-touch collar and tongue lining Technology: Shock-absorbing EVA midsole XT-600 triangular lug rubber traction outsole
