Per BDGA: For our latest joint effort with Saucony Elite we took on the Grid 9000 and G9 Shadow 6 models. The Grid 9000 represents a classic performance running style from Saucony's storied archives, while the G9 Shadow 6 is a more recent hybrid that mends the Shadow 6000 uppers to a Grid 9000 sole. Both pairs come bearing nylon and suede uppers that are offset by contrasting dot prints.
