Saucony has launched the Endorphin Pro+ shoe, the latest iteration in the brand’s award-winning Endorphin Collection.
Now with a reengineered ultra-light upper, Saucony’s fastest carbon-plated shoe will be unveiled by elite athletes during a 10K race under the lights on September 22. This is taking place at the Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex in Essen, Germany – a UNESCO World Heritage Site and considered ‘one of the most impressive industrial monuments on the planet.’
Beginning on September 28, the Endorphin Pro+ shoe will be available at saucony.com and select running specialty retailers globally.
The Endorphin Pro+ is built on the same ‘propulsive engine’ as the Endorphin Pro 2. It utilises ‘SPEEDROLL Technology’ with a carbon-fibre plate and ‘PWRRUN PB’ super foam.
Taking cues from the ultralight, minimalist world of track spikes, Saucony adds that the all-new upper is a luxurious, road ready edit with premium suede, enhanced breathability and a second-skin fit. With a lighter weight mesh, reduced tongue complexity and printed detailing, the Endorphin Pro+ weighs in 0.6 ounces lighter than the Endorphin Pro 2.
“At Saucony, we are at our best when we listen to runners and when we are relentlessly innovating,” said Shawn Hoy, Saucony’s Senior Vice President of Global Product and Innovation.
“Our elite runners told us that they believed that we could make the Endorphin Pro lighter and faster. They wanted to go faster and wanted us to help them. The Endorphin Pro+ delivers even more speed with a more minimal upper that shaves grams off the weight so runners can shave seconds off their time.”
He continued, “And what better way to share the Endorphin Pro+ than with a fun event with a group of awesome runners at a truly great venue. We trust that everyone will enjoy the event as much as we enjoyed creating the shoe.”
The Endorphin Pro+ is available in men’s sizes 7-15, and women’s sizes 5-12 with a suggested retail price of €250 / £220.
