The Saucony Triumph 24 road runner is the brand's latest entrant into the long-distance category for athletes to help them stay agile, even when putting in extended training miles. The shoes prioritize the brand's signature neutral cushioning and are engineered with the new incrediLUX foam that's rated to deliver 11% more cushioning than the previous version while also decreasing its weight. The shoe is thus optimized for long-distance running and speed work, which is further enhanced with a breathable mesh upper that will allow excess heat and moisture to escape.
The Saucony Triumph 24 road runner is available now for purchase for $170 in two color combinations and responds to the popularity of long-distance running as more consumers embrace the tough yet accessible sport.
