We live in a time in which there is hardly any standstill - we give 100%, hit limits, we accelerate to overcome these limits, go further, give everything again. Faster and faster, not stopping, the breaks are short, the next hurdles are in the way, have to be overcome. And yet: sometimes we have to slow down, stop for a moment, appreciate what we have achieved before we continue. Come down, lean back, pause for a moment, and then accelerate again. This is the only way we can overcome all hurdles and keep moving in the long run.

*Accelerate Decelerate* - two opposites that attract each other, that cannot function independently of each other - like Yin and Yang.

In our fast-paced reality, the moment of "Decelerate" is especially important. Our environment takes care of the acceleration almost by itself, which is why we need to focus on consciously decelerating - just for a moment.

Our upcoming collaboration with Saucony stands for this moment. After all, the brand has stood for fast running shoes for over 40 years, so it has always provided movement and speed. The Shadow 6000, originally released in 1991, was no exception. It was designed as a stable, comfortable yet flexible running shoe with a TPU midsole for the track and found a large following among runners right from the start. Today, it's hard to imagine an everyday lifestyle without it. As a running shoe, it has long been outdated, but the clean look, dynamic aesthetic and comfort have remained, making it one of Saucony's absolute sneaker icons. Perfect for everyday wear and that daily "lean back & breathe" moment. Decelerate!
