Our good friends at the Atlanta-based boutique, Epitome, has partnered with Saucony to create a beautiful and distinct version of the iconic Shadow 5000 silhouette. Inspired by the 65 foot "Big Fish" statue located across the street from the shop, and mystical elements of Middle Eastern culture, the Epitome x Saucony Shadow 5000 "Righteous One" features a teal upper dressed in premium pig suede and a high grade leather toe box covered in an embossed fish scale pattern. The buttery soft leather lining leads to a memory foam insole covered in a fish graphic. A white midsole and translucent outsole, both infused with gold flakes, provides the base. As a finishing touch, a "hamsa", which is a middle eastern symbol that provides protection, appears on the tongue while the "eye of conscience" is present on the formstripe, to guide the way to the path of righteousness.

This Saturday, Jordan Brand continues their 30th anniversary assault on our wallets with the release of the shoe that started it all: the original Air Jordan 1. Due to the special nature of this shoe, this is a very limited release and will only be available by raffle only. 

Starting today and running through Thursday, fill out a raffle ticket at Lapstone & Hammer for your chance to purchase a pair of these historic sneakers. One ticket per customer, one pair per customer. Winners will be notified on Friday. 

These will only be available through the raffle. There will be no first come first serve for this item. Please do not camp out, wait in line, or try to buy these shoes without a ticket; it won't happen. No ticket, no Jordans. Make sure you enter the raffle if you want to purchase these sneakers because they will sell out. Good luck!

Welcome to Lapstone & Hammer, Philadelphia's newest and finest premium menswear boutique. While we are new to the city, the building that houses us is certainly not.
