Running the distance
MANILA, Philippines - How far in life can you go? With a good pair of running shoes, you’ll go as far as your feet will take you.
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.
“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,” said Spencer White, VP and head of the company’s human performance and innovation lab.
The newly released collection includes the Triumph 9, the brand’s premier neutral cushioned training shoe, and the Guide 5 and Hurricane 14, both light stability shoes. 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.
The all-star lineup from Saucony has garnered numerous awards from the worldwide authority on running, Runner’s World.
