New Saucony Kinvara Pro billed as 'carbon plate, every day run shoe'

Today, with the launch of the Kinvara Pro, global running brand Saucony is offering-up a carbon plate every day run shoe. The Kinvara Pro becomes available on August 1st direct from Saucony online and via select retailers globally.

A release from Saucony noted that… ‘Carbon-plated shoes married with PEBA-powered midsoles first burst onto the scene in marathon racing because the unique combination of the responsive foam and propulsive carbon plate allowed competitive athletes to go further, faster with less wear and tear on their legs.

‘For that purpose, super shoes were largely engineered for race day with ultra-lightweight, minimal uppers and a full-length plate engineered for speed. But those same benefits can be found by engineering a PB-powered, carbon-fibre plate-equipped every day running shoe specifically to make running effortless.’

The Kinvara Pro, featuring Saucony’s SPEEDROLL Technology, uses three of the brand’s premium cushioning compounds:

Sandwiched in-between the layered cushioning system is a 3/4 carbon-fibre plate delivering a gentle forward roll, while the S-curve midsole shape and flexible forefoot provide a lightweight and efficient feel for accommodating daily training. A durable and supportive upper built for everyday use completes the Kinvara Pro package.

“This year, as we celebrate Saucony’s 125th anniversary, we look back on how innovation, evolution and an unwavering focus on the runner have always been part of Saucony’s deep-rooted heritage,” said Brian Moore, Senior Vice President of Global Product for Saucony.

“The Endorphin Collection, with SPEEDROLL Technology, opened a new chapter in the brand’s legacy of innovation, delivering effortless race day speed for the ultimate go-fast experience. Yet, regular runners told us they wanted to experience a PB-powered, carbon-plated ride on training days as well.”

Moore continued, “As an industry leader in the geometry, foam and plate formula, we believe an efficient and effortless ride should be available to everyone and on every run. The all-new Kinvara Pro democratises our innovation so that every runner can appreciate an efficient and effortless running experience, ultimately realizing the best version of themselves day in and day out.”

The Kinvara Pro will available on saucony.com from August 1st in men’s sizes 6-14, and women’s sizes 3-10 at a RRP of £200.
