As the famous words "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" echoed through every television set and radio station, the landing of the moon has been one of humanity's greatest accomplishments. It is a testament to how much we can accomplish when we pursue our dreams. The unique hybrid model between the Shadow 5000 and 6000 is themed with the historical moon landing in mind to exemplify the idea of pursuing a dream. The Shadow 5500 "Giant Leaps" features a Deep Space black upper in liquid nylon and a combination of a techie smooth neoprene, ribbed-prene, and bubble-prene. The combination of materials shed weight off the Shadow 5500, making it even lighter and more comfortable.

BAIT and Saucony CruelWorld branding is featured with a NASA inspired woven label on the tongue, along with photography of the Moon and Earth tucked in with the insoles.
