- Saucony globally launches the Endorphin Elite 2, its competition offering that uses the new IncrediRUN™ compound for exceptional energy return
- Tested by elite athletes, including Malindi Elmore, who won the 2024 Canadian 10K Championships and competed in the Paris Olympic Marathon.
- Low weight and sustainability: thanks to its only 199g, carbon plate, SpeedRoll™ technology and recycled materials, which also make them completely vegan.
After a limited release last summer, Saucony has officially launched the Endorphin Elite 2 worldwide. This high-performance racing shoe introduces the groundbreaking IncrediRUN™ compound, engineered for exceptional energy return and superior cushioning—helping runners push their limits on the road.
“The Elite 2 represents a big step forward in the world of super shoes,” says Brian Moore, Saucony’s Chief Product Officer. “Through collaboration with our elite athletes, we’ve created a shoe that delivers a world-class running experience. IncrediRUN™ provides unprecedented energy return, making every step feel lighter and more responsive.”
Proven on the big stage
A testament to the shoe’s potential? Malindi Elmore, a three-time Olympian and Saucony athlete, dominated the 2024 Canadian 10K Championships, winning in 32:50 at age 44. She also laced up the Elite 2s for the Paris 2024 Olympic Marathon, crossing the line in 35th place with a time of 2:31:08.
Not just a compound that pushes you to the max
Such performance is also provided by a balanced set of other technologies, such as a full-length carbon plate with slots to improve flexibility, SpeedRoll™ technology to promote smoother transitions and a more dynamic ride, and a PWRTRAC rubber outsole for added grip on wet surfaces.

Performance isn’t just about a responsive midsole. The Endorphin Elite 2 also features:
- A full-length carbon plate with flex slots for improved adaptability
- SpeedRoll™ technology for smoother transitions and a more dynamic ride
- A PWRTRAC rubber outsole for enhanced grip, even on wet surfaces
Speed, sustainability, and ultra-lightweight design
Weight matters in racing shoes—every gram counts, especially in those brutal final kilometers. At just 199g, the Endorphin Elite 2 delivers the speed and responsiveness that competitive runners demand.
And it’s not just about performance. The Elite 2 is built with recycled materials and is 100% vegan, making it a sustainable choice without compromising on speed.
