New Colorways for the Daily Trainer "Endorphin Azura" Arrive June 12 (Friday), Honoring the Legendary Racing Shoe "Azura" and Fusing Latest Foam Technology

Saucony, a performance running lifestyle brand from the USA distributed by Marubeni Consumer Link Co., Ltd., will release a new color collection for its Spring/Summer 2026 new model, "Endorphin Azura," on Friday, June 12, 2026. The legendary racing shoe "Azura" dominated the running scene in the 1980s, the brand's golden era. "Endorphin Azura" has been re-engineered to align with contemporary running culture while inheriting the innovative spirit and aesthetics of that time. It is not merely an archival reissue but a new shoe created by fusing the latest technology from the brand's flagship speed model series, "Endorphin," for today's runners and individuals with active lifestyles. While high-rebound models equipped with carbon plates have become mainstream in the recent running shoe market, "Endorphin Azura" deliberately omits a plate. It features the brand's highest-grade cushioning material, "PWRRUN PB," throughout the full length. The high rebound generated by a 40mm heel height, combined with the synergistic effect of the unique "SPEEDROLL technology," achieves a "rolling" ride that smoothly connects ground contact to toe-off. The freedom of movement, unreliant on the stiffness of a plate, accommodates a wide range of scenarios, from daily training and speed runs to everyday use. "Endorphin Azura" symbolizes Saucony's new category, "Fast & Light." It balances high running performance with a classic look rooted in the brand's history, designed to seamlessly connect running with lifestyle, from morning runs to work and weekend city strolls. In today's era where running culture intersects with self-expression, it proposes a new daily trainer that not only performs but also accompanies everyday life.
