Continuing to grow its momentum in run specialty, Saucony is releasing an updated Endorphin collection this July. Engineered with elite athletes, the latest rendition of the Endorphin Collection has a fine-tuned fit, enhanced heel support and the brand’s light PWRRUN PB cushioning — allowing for the entire collection to deliver a locked in feeling for more secure, efficient and effortless performance.

The Endorphin Collection includes the Endorphin Pro 2 for speed; the award-winning Endorphin Speed 2, a do-it-all trainer and racer; the Endorphin Shift 2 with streamlined stability; and the soon-to-be-released Endorphin Trail. The Endorphin Collection become available at beginning with the Endorphin Pro 2 on June 1 and continuing with the Endorphin Speed 2 on June 15 and then the Endorphin Shift 2 and Endorphin Trail on July 15.

“These are the shoes that dreams are made of,” explains Shawn Hoy, VP–global product for Saucony. “From the race-ready Pro, to the award-winning Speed, to the feel-good miles of the Shift, we have proven that we can make running faster and even more fun — and now that includes for trail runners, too.

In July, Saucony will also be launching the Endorphin Trail Shoe bringing the Speedroll technology off road for the first time. The Endorphin Trail blends the brand’s Speedroll Technology with a thick stack of responsive, featherweight PWRRUN PB cushioning that propels the runner forward. Its secure fit, grippy PWRTRAC outsole and versatile ascent/descent-friendly lug configuration are designed to give the runner ultimate confidence on whatever terrain they meet. 

“We knew we had something special with the Endorphin Collection, but even in early discussions with consumers and retailers we felt so much demand for a similarly fast and fun experience on the trails,” Hoy adds. “We’re excited to introduce runners to the Endorphin Trail and whether they choose it for its performance capabilities or distinct look, we love the idea that it might help even more people fall in love with trail running.”
