Andrew Rizzo Holiday-inspired footwear has become more popular in recent years, and now that Valentine’s Day is behind us, St. Patrick’s Day stands as the next big point of reference for sneaker brands. In celebration of the March 17th holiday, Saucony delivers an ode to the Irish by way of a new limited-edition Grid Shadow 2 packed with green shamrock detailing.
To no surprise, the design of this pair relies on a vibrant mix of green coloring, set against a black base for eye-catching contrast. A thickly stitched four-leaf clover sets the tone on the shoe’s tongue, matched on the quarter and mudguard with a variety of green hits across suede, mesh, and foam materials. The design incorporates a splash of gold on the heel via more stitched detailing, matched on the insoles with yet another shamrock for added luck.
While this pair doesn’t host any apparent associations beyond St. Patrick Day, it could surely be co-opted by fans of the Boston Celtics and other pro sports franchises with Irish-inspired insignias. Fans of this look can pick up a pair now on saucony.com for $140, available in both men’s and women’s sizing via the official purchase links below.
