Streetwear brand Diet Starts Monday has teamed up with American athletic footwear label Saucony to launch the 'Endorphin Pro' sneaker. The new offering is a follow-up to Diet Starts Monday's other high-profile collaborations with Spalding and DC Shoes.

In particular, the Saucony Endorphin Pro has been designed to accommodate both athletes and everyday runners and comes chock-full of high-tech features. These include a SPEEDROLL designed to easily propel runners forwards, S-Curve carbon fiber plates for seamless transitions, and an EBA-based “super foam" that delivers ideal bounce and support.

In terms of design, the new running shoe arrives in an eye-popping 'Yellow Wolverine' colorway and features perforated suede uppers, embroidered DSM logos, and hits of white, black, and red throughout.
