FAQs
Are the Shadow 5000 Kissaten suitable for running?
While inspired by a running shoe, the Shadow 5000 Kissaten is designed for lifestyle and fashion. They offer comfort for everyday wear but are not recommended for high-performance athletic activities.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a suede brush to regularly clean off dust and dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always allow suede to air dry.
What inspired the 'Kissaten' edition?
The Kissaten edition draws inspiration from the nostalgic atmosphere and intricate details found in Japanese coffee and teahouses, influencing the color palette and textural elements.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart for Saucony. These are unisex trainers, so consider that when selecting your size. A snug but comfortable fit is ideal.
Can I machine wash these trainers?

The trainers primarily use air-mesh, leather, and printed teacup pattern on crackled gloss split suede.
Do these trainers come in other colors?

Troubleshooting
Suede becoming dirty or matted
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a suede eraser or consult a professional cleaner.
Leather creasing excessively
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize appearance, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when storing to maintain shape. Avoid bending the shoes unnecessarily.
Color transfer from darker materials
Ensure socks are colorfast. If color transfer occurs onto the shoe, attempt to spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. It is recommended to use a suede protector spray to help repel stains and color transfer.
