After the immense success of the Saucony Endorphin Elite, the brand has just teased the launch of its successor, the aptly named Endorphin Elite 2, featuring what seems like a completely redesigned upper and tons of foot underfoot.
Three-time Canadian Olympic marathoner and Saucony athlete Malindi Elmore will be wearing the Endorphin Elite 2 during the upcoming marathon in Paris. The mother of two recently won the Canadian 10km Championships in 32:50 at the age of 44 while wearing the Elite 2 in preparation for her build-up to Paris in August.
The Elite was launched last January to critical acclaim. It sported the PWRRUN HG foam, Saucony's most energy-efficient structure to date. It also had a peculiar, almost sandal-like upper.
Saucony has provided some information about the shoe. The Endorphin Elite 2 uses the brand's SPEEDROLL technology, an adaptable knit tongue, and a unique, supportive ultralight mesh that holds the foot to the platform.
The cushioning is said to be provided by a 'next-generation Superfoam,' probably a newer iteration of the PWRRUN HG. The shoes weigh just under 200g (7.0oz/ 199g) and have an 8mm drop.
