Saucony has today announced that three-time Canadian Olympic marathoner and Saucony athlete Malindi Elmore will run in the new Saucony Endorphin Elite 2 in the upcoming Paris Marathon. At the same time, the brand has also announced the Saucony Endorphin Elite 2 release date.
If you are looking for the fastest running shoes on the market, Saucony’s models are a good choice. Earlier this year, both the Endorphin Pro 4 and Endorphin Speed 4 have launched. Two models with a tremendously nice running feeling.
However, it is the Endorphin Elite that is the brand’s flagship model among their super shoes and in the second release, the model gets a new cutting-edge foam designed to unleash the performance potential of every runner.
Malindi Elmore has an impressive history in Canadian athletics, having been selected for the 2020 Tokyo Marathon and the 1500 meter track event at the 2004 Athens Olympics. The mother of two recently won the Canadian 10km championships in 32:50 at the age of 44 in Elite 2 in preparation for Paris in August.
Saucony Endorphin Elite 2 Release Date
For those eager to experience the Endorphin Elite 2, the race-ready shoe is available starting today, July 1, at 10:00 a.m. EST on Saucony’s website. However, it seems that this release is only for the US market and the rest may have to wait for the global launch. I am waiting for confirmation on this detail.
The Saucony Endorphin Elite 2 will launch globally in Spring 2025 and will be available for purchase on saucony.com and at select retailers.
