The shoes prioritize the brand's signature [neutral cushioning](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pg7-30-running-shoe) 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.
