The art of running
Manila, Philippines - Here’s to a revolutionary ride with a more powerful stride.
Delivering the brand’s biggest product initiative ever, Saucony presents a groundbreaking advancement for runners everywhere with a completely redesigned heel-to-toe offset on three of the brand’s best-selling models: the Triumph 9, Guide 5 and Hurricane 14. Reducing the offset on these top-selling styles from the average 12mm to 8mm allows for a lower impact strike and a more powerful running stride.
“With this revolutionary breakthrough, we’re now making the world’s best running shoes even better,” said Patrick O’Malley, Saucony’s senior vice president of global product. “Combining insight from the brand’s community of runners with the latest research from our state-of-the-art Human Performance and Innovation Lab, we discovered that engineering an 8mm heel-to-toe offset in our best-loved running shoes would offer great control, alignment and suspension. This simple approach delivers a revolutionary ride; we can’t wait for runners to feel the incredible difference that 8mm can make,” added O’Malley.
“In the process of creating the award-winning Kinvara with a 4mm offset, our eyes were opened to the possibility of literally challenging the foundation of our traditional running shoes by reengineering their lasts to an 8mm offset,” said Spencer White, vice president and head of the Saucony Human Performance and Innovation Lab. He added, “This new angle positions the runner’s foot during impact in a way that creates a greater range of motion for the Gastrocnemius-Soleus-Achilles tendon system, allowing for a more powerful running stride. We now have a range of shoes that offers runners a choice between 0mm, 4mm, 8mm and 12mm offset.”
The newly released collection is light and sturdy. Both the Triumph and Hurricane feature three of the brand’s most advanced technologies:
Powergrid - an award-winning technology that delivers optimal cushioning and responsiveness
IBR+ Outsole - a proprietary compound that provides remarkable road feel
Sauc-Fit - a dynamic fit system that ensures an ultra-secure ride.
